Question

How did Brezhnev's leadership of the Soviet Union differ from that of Khrushchev?

Answer 1

It put much less emphasis on reforms

Explanation:

Brezhnev was much keener to protect the priviledges of the Nomemclature than reforming the country. Khrushchev had reformed the Soviet Union because he wanted it to have a better image abroad. He was destituted by the Nomemclature who feared about their priviledges and blamed him for failing in Cuba in his foreign policy.

Brezhnev refused to give more individual liberties or to introduce any major change in the USSR, unlike someone like Gorbachev.
