metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article analyzes the features of the era of L. I. Brezhnev and its perceptions. The author
  presents his views on the political portrait of the Soviet leader. The article considers distinctive
  characteristics and stereotypical features of the image of the long-term leader of the Soviet
  state formed in the national and foreign historiography. The article indicates the key events
  and phenomena related to the foreign and domestic policy of the USSR under Brezhnev and
  describes the specific aspects of his managerial style. The author focuses on the details of
  the conspiracy to remove N. S. Khrushchev from power, and specifically point out that it was
  L. I. Brezhnev who headed this conspiracy, and not M. A. Suslov and A. N. Shelepin, as it is
  indicated in some research papers on the problem. The article also specifically examines the
  achievements of the foreign policy of the era of “détente”, the role of L. I. Brezhnev in the successes
  of the policy of those years, the model of his behavior in relations with foreign leaders,
  such as R. Nixon, J. Ford, V. Brandt, and others. The research is based on the testimonies of
  people who worked closely with L. I. Brezhnev and those who were in his inner circle. According
  to the author, L. I. Brezhnev was ready to retire at the end of the 1970s, but members of
  the Politburo insisted that he should keep his post. Brezhnev did not manage to survive as a
  politician; his death remained practically unnoticed by the Soviet people.
