Frol Romanovich Kozlov (Russian: Фрол Рома́нович Козло́в; 18 August [O.S. 5 August] 1908, Loshchinino – 30 January 1965) was a Soviet politician, and a Hero of Socialist Labor (1961).
Biography
Kozlov was born in the village of Loshchinino (Russian: Лощинино), Ryazan Province. Between 1953 and 1957, Kozlov was the first secretary of the Leningrad Oblast CPSU Committee.[1] He was elected a candidate member of the Presidium (as the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was then called) on 14 February 1957 and served as a full member from 29 June 1957 until he was relieved of his duties on 16 November 1964, following the ousting of his mentor, Nikita Khrushchev a month earlier.
In July 1959, he visited the secretive Bohemian Grove encampment in northern California.[2]
For many years, he was considered Khrushchev's likely successor [3] but even before his mentor's removal from office, Kozlov's position had been undermined by the effects of his alcoholism; in the spring of 1963 he was replaced by Leonid Brezhnev as Secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee.[4] At the time of his removal, Kozlov had already suffered a stroke, and he died shortly after his removal from office.
He was buried in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis.
