Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan (1895 – 1978) was an Old Bolshevik and Soviet statesman during the mandates of Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev, and Leonid Brezhnev. Dubbed the Vicar of Bray of politics, he was the only Soviet politician who managed to remain at the highest levels of power within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, as that power oscillated between the Central Committee and the Politburo, from the latter days of Lenin's rule, throughout the eras of Stalin and Khrushchev, until his peaceful (albeit forced) retirement after the first months of Brezhnev's rule. Mikoyan's position under Khrushchev made him the second most powerful figure in the Soviet Union at the time.
