Summary/Abstract: The rule of Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko almost always remains on the periphery of the Soviet Union's history.The two are some of the less known rulers of the communist state. Their names remain hidden behind those of Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Gorbachev. But this does not mean that their time was devoid of changes. As a result of it, the transition from Brezhnev's stagnation to Gorbachev's perestroika took place... Or at least it was not stopped.
