>Lenin
>Radical revolutionary who had the Royal Family killed, initiated the Red Terror against the petite bourgeoisie, and established the RSFSR, which later turned into the Soviet Union. He was an idealist who had some good ideas but had no qualms about killing thousands of people who got in his way.
>Stalin
>Brutish and ruthless son of a Georgian peasant. Reversed some of Lenin's policies and completely collectivized agriculture and industry. He transformed the USSR from a twice-war-ravaged agrarian state to an industrialized, nuclear-armed superpower and massively improved living standards, though he killed a few million in the process via forced collectivization of farms and repression of ethnic minorities that rebelled, and much of the infrastructure building and resource extraction in rural areas came from forced labor in specialized camps
>Khrushchev
>Much, much less paranoid and repressive than Stalin. Oversaw mild liberalization of censorship and public life, and put an end to the mass killings. His term saw some well-intentioned but sometimes unsuccessful reforms and the emergence of the USSR as a space-age country. Deposed by a coup initiated by the more conservative factions.
>Brezhnev
>More repressive than Khrushchev but nowhere near Stalin; used insidious methods like telephone tapping, surveillance, and political misuse of psychiatry. His 18-year term saw stability, initially rising living standards, and cultural development, but also saw economic stagnation from the outdated economic model, corruption, and aggravated social problems.
>Andropov
>Served for 15 months, overseeing increased prosecution of corrupt officials and wide release of unsavory economic statistics. Political repression still continued on a moderate scale.
>Chernenko
More reforms, but economic issues continued.
>Gorbachev
>Radically overhauled everything, increasing political and economic freedom but doing it so quickly that everything collapsed
