Leonid Brezhnev - One of Russia s dictators who put Soviet Union into worse states than it already was. He came after Khrushchev and was a huge supporter of the Stalin Era.

He greatly agreed with Reagan s foreign policies and greatly criticized Jimmy Carter for not being aggressive enough in dealing with the Soviet Union. Virgin Lands Campaign - Khrushchev s plan in order to alleviate food shortages within the Soviet Union. It was due to his obsession with corn that he made his people plant and grow only corn and set a quota that they must meet. This ended in a total catastrophe bringing more hunger to the people and lands being overcropped. U-2 Crisis - Soviet Union had shot a US spy plane down and confronted the US about it. The US denied anything to do with the incident, however the pilots were brought forward. The US could no longer deny anything. This was a major diplomatic loss for the US. Laika - A Soviet dog sent into space. He was the first animal to orbit the earth and came back alive.
