Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov
Appearance
""Andropov gets a thumbs-down from Haz's Soviet tier-list (MAJOR UPDATES stream: "Oh, Yuri Andropov. You know what? I don't even like him.").
In the same ranking exercise: Chernenko "was okay" — placing the KGB-turned-General-Secretary below even the caretaker Chernenko in Haz's judgment, consistent with the anti-Khrushchevite reading where Andropov's personnel politics groomed Gorbachev ("Gorbachev is really bad").
Until discussed substantively, this page records the placement rather than inventing analysis.
