Heydar Aliyev, who has been the chairman of Azerbaijan CSS since 1967, was designed the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan in July 1969. He led the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic until 1982. He was appointed to this position by Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU. In 1964, the USSR leadership changed. Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev became the leader of the USSR. The reforms and changes carried out in a positive direction in our republic by Heydar Aliyev, who served as the first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU of the Azerbaijan SSR, attracted the attention of the center and were welcomed. It is no coincidence that Brezhnev, who was the leader of the USSR, visited the Azerbaijan SSR twice during the leadership of Heydar Aliyev. Heydar Aliyev was able to make a warm relationship with center and increase the interest and attention of center to our republic among 15 republics. In 1976, Heydar Aliyev was elected a candidate for the membership of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPSU.
