Bald–hairy (Russian: лысый — волосатый, romanized: lysyy — volosatyy) is a Russian political joke, an observation that the state leaders' succession is mostly from a bald or balding leader to a hairy one and vice versa. This consistent pattern can be traced back to as early as 1825, when Nicholas I succeeded his late brother Alexander as the emperor of Russia. Nicholas I's son Alexander II formed the first "bald–hairy" pair of the sequence with his father. In Soviet times (for rulers after Lenin), the rule applies to most of the general (first) secretaries of the Communist Party. In relation to the chairmen of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the rule is not followed. Additionally, the chairmen of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union do not follow the rule, having more "hairy" leaders than "bald".
