After being eclipsed by Khrushchev, what was Malenkov's rank in the Presidium?

  • Lowest-ranking

  • Second-ranking

  • Third-ranking

  • Highest-ranking

Answer

The answer is highest-ranking. After Khrushchev's rise, Malenkov remained in the Presidium but was demoted to the position of Minister of Defense, effectively reducing his influence and authority within the Soviet leadership. This demotion marked a significant decline in his political standing compared to his previous position as Premier of the Soviet Union.
