Great idea Cheesy

I got one comment. I'm not sure we can count Rakowski, who became the first secretary when Mazowiecki already takes over government and Jaruzelski became President. Yes, he was prime minister before, but Jaruzelski was the one most important.

He became first sec when Kiszczak was PM, but, you're right, Jaruzelski was the real nr.1 as President.
Mmmm... not very easy...

And I wonder whether I should keep Grotewohl and add Nagy, in order to have only real nr.1.


Kiszczak was obvious placeholder for little over half of a month. This was after election after round table.

Ironically, Rakowski was rather a positive figure of post-World War II history. Not because involvment in the government (at end), but heading "Polityka", the most independent press title in entire bloc, for decades. He acted positivly during March 1968 sad events.

I also don't understand why Lenin wasn't included.

Cold War is a reason

Sorry, just one more comment, Gomółka was the PPR first secretary from 1945, but Bierut still was effective leader.

Anyway, really cool idea Cheesy

Chernenko

Out of reality, past-living, unintelligent man and a very short-termer. While Andropov was really smart, he was just a pathetic

Yes, but I have some respect for him after he resigned from the ceremonial office of formal head of state in 1968, protesting against Gomółka anti-semitic actions
