Contents/Summary

Summary

This historical drama tells of the last days of Leonid Iliich Brezhnev, the Secretary General of the USSR. Knowing he doesn’t have long to live, Leonid Iliich tries to take pleasure in his final hours – spending time with his wife, going hunting, conversing with his associates. . . but the hours bring him more memories than pleasures, and all the most amazing events in his life come back to him – his conspiracy against his mentor Krushchev, his struggle to get to the top, and the difficult decisions he had to make while in power. While awake, he is recalling his life and his career. Most depressing are his painful thoughts about his treason against Khrushchev, who promoted Brezhnev to the top. Other senile members of the Politbureau are nervous about the choice of a successor.
