The most accurate description of the political history of the Soviet Union after Stalin’s death is:

**After Stalin’s death, the Soviet Union had very few instances of stability, as it went through multiple leaders. Most leaders only lasted for a couple of years, with the exception of Brezhnev.**

This statement accurately reflects the political landscape of the Soviet Union in the years following Stalin's death in 1953. There were a series of leadership changes and a lack of long-term stability until Leonid Brezhnev rose to significant power and managed to maintain control for a longer period. Brezhnev’s tenure marked a relative stabilization in leadership compared to the tumultuous period that preceded it.
