Lebedeva was born in 1917. [2] She graduated from a pedagogical school and joined the Komsomol activities where she was appointed to the Komsomol in Karelia in 1940. [3] The same year Tatyana met her future husband at the Komsomol work in Petrozavodsk where she was the secretary of the Zaretsk district committee. [4] [5] At that time Yuri Andropov was serving as the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Komsomol of the Karelo-Finnish SSR. [3] Andropov's wife and two children did not move to the region with him when he was appointed the post. [4] Following his contact with Tatyana Yuri Andropov divorced his first wife. [5] Tatyana and Yuri married in Summer 1941 and had two children, Igor and Irina. [1] [6] [7] Igor was born shortly before their marriage which was harmonious. [7]

[6] In the late October 1956 extensive protests against the Soviet Union occurred in Budapest, and their residence was besieged by the protestors which had negative long-term effects on Tatyana's health. [6] She left Budapest, but returned there after two months. [6] As a result of this incident Tatyana would experience hypertension and suffer from acute headaches during her lifetime. [6] In addition, since then, she was terrified of crowds and open spaces. [5]
The family lived at Kutuzovsky Prospekt in Moscow where Suslov and Brezhnev also lived. [10] Due to health problems Tatyana did not fulfil the official duties when Andropov was the general secretary of the Communist Party and lived as a recluse in their apartment. [5] She died in 1991. [2] [11]
