# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  An ethnic Armenian, Mikoyan joined the Bolsheviks in 1915 and fought in the Baku Commune after the October Revolution. He ran the North Caucasus for the party through the 1920s, entered the Politburo in 1935, and served as foreign trade minister twice while navigating Stalin's inner circle. By 1949 he was losing ground — stripped of his ministry, then publicly criticized by Stalin at the 19th Party Congress in 1952. Stalin's death the next year gave him an opening: he backed Khrushchev, helped crush a 1957 coup against him, and became the architect of de-Stalinization policy. Under Khrushchev he traveled to the United States and Cuba, wielding soft power on the international stage until 1964, when a coup toppled his patron. Mikoyan served one year as Chairman of the Presidium — nominal head of state — before Brezhnev forced him out in 1965.
