Brezhnev successors vie for top
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Soviet Pres Leonid Brezhnev,
76 next month, is in such poor
health he remains in office on
ly as a symbol while potential
successors set policies and
jockey for power, according to
U S. intelligence estimates
Brezhnev may go on for a
number of years, but his abili
ties to manage the complexi
ties of government are steadily
eroding, in the view of
American experts However,
they emphasize that the Soviet
decision-making process is
able to function through an
informal power-sharing
arrangement
“I don't see any sign at all of
paralysis,” said one of these
officials, who asked not to be
quoted by name
Three men near the top of
the hierarchy have been iden
tified by experts as possible
successors to the ailing
Brezhnev They are Yuri
Andropov, former head of the
KGB, the secret police;
Konstantin Chernenko, the
failing leader s closest assoc
iate in recent years, and Victor
Grishin, head of the Commun
ist party in Moscow
A fourth erstwhile
contender, Andrei Kirilenko,
76, is himself in poor health
and no longer considered in
the running. Intelligence
sources say Kirilenko will be
dropped from the ruling Polit
buro when it meets Nov 15
and also taken off top defense
committees
"Brezhnev keeps going up
and down, but each time he
comes back he comes back at
a lower level of energy," said
one U S official who monitors
Kremlin developments
"He's able to cope, and it’s
clear that he may go on for a
number of years still," the of
ficial said. "But his abilities to
manage all the complexities of
government are decreasing
over time "
In a bleaker appraisal of
Brezhnev's health, another of
ficial said "he's always been in
bad shape He doesn't chair
committees anymore He
really isn't running the
country He's there as a sym
bol."
But he said the Kremlin
decided it was preferable to
keep Brezhnev in office than
have an open fight over
succession.
The transition in power
began with the death of
Premier Alexei Kosygin two
years ago and accelerated
with Communist party theore
tician Mikhail Suslov's death
last January
Andropov was brought into
the inner circle to work along
side Chernenko, who
remained Brezhnev s right
hand man Without a formal
agreement, but as Brezhnev s
energies declined, they joined
with Andrei Gromyko, the
veteran foreign minister; Dmi
tri Ustinov, the defense minis
ter; and Nikolai Tikhonov, the
new premier, in operating the
government
