'''Georgy Maximillianovich Malenkov''' (1902–1988) was a Soviet leader of the Stalin-era generation: Politburo member, deputy premier, and Stalin's brief successor as Premier (1953–1955) and party secretary (March–September 1953).

Malenkov represents the '''technocratic-managerial tendency''' within late Stalinism — competent administration without political line. His defeat by Khrushchev settled that the post-Stalin succession would be decided by party-machine politics rather than policy coherence, opening the road to voluntarism and revisionism (see [[Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev]], [[Kruschev, Secret Speech]]).

Malenkov — appears once in Haz's Soviet tier-list (MAJOR UPDATES stream) — named among the old Bolsheviks (Molotov a C; Voroshilov, Malenkov listed) without comment.

The same tier-list, for the record: Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao at the top; Gonzalo an E; Khrushchev F; Brezhnev D; Gorbachev "really bad"; Andropov "I don't even like him"; Chernenko "he was okay"; Trotsky "a piece of shit"; Bukharin, Zinoviev, Radek "traitors"; Sverdlov and Kollontai "pretty good"; Krupskaya "sorry"; Rosa Luxemburg "she was good, but Karl Liebknecht..."
