Andrei Andreyevich Gromyko (1909-1989) was a Soviet politician and diplomat during the Cold War. He served as Minister of Foreign Affairs (1957-1985) and as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (1985-1988).
Gromyko was responsible for many top decisions on Soviet foreign policy until he retired in 1988. In the 1940s, Western pundits called him Mr. Nyet (“Mr. No”) because of his frequent use of the Soviet veto in the United Nations Security Council. As Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, Gromyko was directly involved in deliberations with the Americans during the Cuban Missile Crisis and helped broker a peace treaty ending the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War.
Following Gorbachev’s election as General Secretary, Gromyko lost his office as foreign minister. He retired from his political life in 1988, and died the following year in Moscow.
