...steer clear of each other. We shall do what is needed.' " Yet the freighter failed to change course. Another newspaper report charged that the Admiral Nakhimov's captain was negligent. Both captains were arrested and are in custody pending the outcome of a government investigation, headed by Politburo Member Geidar Aliev, to determine the cause of the accident...
...those who discredit the name of Communist." Gorbachev boasted that his self-proclaimed war against alcoholism is getting results. "Drunkenness has been elbowed out of factories, and there is less of it in public places," he said. Later, at an unusual news conference, Politburo Member Geidar Aliyev said that half of the state's retail trade revenue, worth about $446 billion a year, had come from alcohol. He claimed that reduced liquor sales had slashed that income by $66 billion, and said, "We have to sell other commodities to make up for the sale of alcohol." Western diplomats said Aliyev...
...four, all members of the Politburo, are Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, 75, Heavy Industry Boss Grigori Romanov, 62, Premier of the Russian Republic Vitali Vorotnikov, 59, and First Deputy Premier Geidar Aliyev, 61. They will probably form the core of the collective leadership that will guide Gorbachev in the beginning.

Along with Politburo Members Geidar Aliyev, 61, and Vitali Vorotnikov, 59, Gorbachev was an Andropov protege. His standing as the probable front runner appeared to get a powerful endorsement last month: the official Communist Party daily, Pravda, listed him as one of four candidates to represent Moscow districts in elections for the rubber-stamp Supreme...
Just as Andropov promoted several of his own men into the party machinery, Chernenko could use his power of appointment to consolidate control. But he too may run out of time. For the second time, the Politburo has postponed handing authority to the younger generation, represented by Geidar Aliyev, 60, Mikhail Gorbachev, 52, Grigori Romanov, 61 and Vitali Vorotnikov, 58. One of Chernenko's most pressing tasks will be to find ways of moving men like these into positions of power without threatening the old guard. One possibility is to give one of the "youths" the job of Premier...
