  1. Yuri Andropov
    • According to 2 sources
    After 1975, Brezhnev's health rapidly deteriorated and he increasingly withdrew from international affairs despite maintaining his hold on power. He ultimately died on 10 November 1982 and was succeeded as general secretary by Yuri Andropov.
    Yuri Andropov was head of the KGB, the Soviet national security agency, between 1967 and 1982. When Brezhnev began to have health problems, Andropov left the KGB to compete to be Brezhnev’s successor. Andropov was successful —two days after Brezhnev died, he became the new general secretary of the Communist Party.
