Viktoria Brezhneva

Viktoria Petrovna Brezhneva (Russian: Виктория Петровна Брежнева, IPA: [vʲɪkˈtorʲɪjə pʲɪˈtrovnə ˈbrʲeʐnʲɪvə]; née Denisova [Дени́сова], IPA: [dʲɪˈnʲisəvə]; 11 December 1907 – 5 July 1995) was the wife of Soviet politician and longtime General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev.

The following year, Viktoria gave birth to their first child, Galina.

[3] Viktoria's relationship with Brezhnev was described as "old fashioned" and one that "without exaggeration [could] be called gentle".

[5] During Brezhnev's General Secretaryship, Viktoria remained at the sidelines; she did not like attracting public attention.

Her daughter, Galina, did not attend the funeral although the rest of the family did.
