Later, when Brezhnev became the head of the country, the career advancements of reliable people began, with whom he had previously worked successfully. The vast majority of henchmen worked in the regional committee of Dnepropetrovsk, so the expression "Dnepropetrovsk team" went off.

Ability to make the right move

The success of the secretary in the management of the region was marked by the Center, so Kirilenko was entrusted to the industrial heart of the USSR - the Sverdlovsk Region. The territory was actively managed by an experienced, efficient manager, past war and rebuilding the ruins of industry.
