In 1972 he became a Secretary of the Central Committee.
Dolgikh was elected as a candidate member of the Politburo in May 1982, at the same plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU that made Yuri Andropov a Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Dolgikh retired from all his CPSU leadership positions in September 1988.
