Russian President if USSR collapses in the early 1980's?

I have been scratching up some old threads about an early USSR collapse.

And what immediately occurred to me is "who would be the elected head of state?"
 
As early USSR collapse scenarios are most likely violent (or dependent on fairly early PODs) it would probably be someone relatively unknown OTL. And he would not be elected at all.
