...Party Secretary and demoting him to an obscure and less powerful post as head of the Russian trade unions. Shelepin had surrounded himself with a group of former Komsomol (youth league) officials who are hawkish in foreign policy, favor strict control of the intellectuals and are known as "metal eaters" because they stress heavy industry rather than consumer goods...
