The Soviet Union adopted new agricultural and ideological policies on Friday and installed new leaders to implement them. Brezhnev and Kosygin remained unaffected, as changes aimed to tackle farm stagnation and ideological disputes with China. Vladimir Nevsky became head of the Supreme Economic Council and a deputy premier, replacing Dmitry Ustinov who moved to party secretary, while Leonid Ilyichev shifted to deputy foreign minister. The new plan seeks higher consumer prices, vast investment in machinery, and land modernization, replacing Khrushchev era measures. Brezhnev criticized past agricultural management and urged elimination of subjectivism in socialist farming.
