I am Leonid Brezhnev, and I was a leader of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, widely known as the Soviet Union or USSR. I was born Leonid Ilyich Brezhnyov on December 19, 1906, in Kamenskoye, Ukraine. I joined the Communist Party youth organization in 1923, and the real party in 1931. I succeeded Nikita Khrushchev to be Party leader and Premier in 1964. I am mostly blamed for supposedly setting the foundation of the collapse of my glorious Soviet Union, which is truly FALSE... I was trying to make it stronger and more efficient, and also modernized for the latter 20th Century. I assumed my role as leader until 1982, when I died of a heart attack. My spirit will live on, and one day, the Motherland will rise again!
NATIONAL ANTHEM OF THE SOVIET UNION

Splotila naveki velikaya Rus'!

CHORUS:
Slavsya Otechestva nashe svabodnoye,
Druzhbi narodav nadyozhniy oplot,

Na pravoe delo on podnyal narodi,
Na trud i na podvigi nas vdakhnavil!
