I've stuck to the main participants of the Cold War as defined on this Wiki page (i.e. the Eastern and Western Blocs), as opposed to spreading this too thinly and covering every single country who played a role in an event(s) of the period. Western Bloc *snip* Iran Ali Khamenei (b. 1939) Abolhassan Banisadr (b. 1933) Mir-Hossein Mousavi (b. 1942) *snip* The first off my Cold War leaders list since it was compiled less than a month ago!

He was purged from Chavez's leadership in 2008 and arrested at gunpoint in 2009. The Guardian at the time said that "his crime was to realize that Chavez was a tyrant", HRW mentioned him as an example of political persecution and Jimmy Carter expressed concern about the case. He was freed in 2015 and seems to have been arrested again in 2017. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MortalCaso 1,629 Posted October 13, 2021 Dale Kildee has died aged 92 (b. 1929-2021). He was a mainstay in the U.S House of Rep. serving from 1977-2013. The seat he held (Michigan) is now held by his nephew Dan Kildee. Kildee was involved in local state politics since 1965 being a state rep. from 1965-1974 and a state sen. from 1975-1976. Most notable thing he did (in my opinion) was create the Native American Caucus in the House. Kildee was the 29th oldest living House of Rep. (either former or current). https://thehill.com/homenews/house/576613-former-rep-dale-kildee-dies-at-92 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
