I’ve heard Soviet interpreter Victor Sukhodrev speak English and it was PERFECT - NOT ONE trace of a Russian accent!!!

[@TheSeanoops]

Brezhnev didn’t kiss Nixon because his wife was there.

[@yumbam5546]

That what's why they had the private meeting after.

Respect please. People from all over the former USSR remember Leonid Brezhnev with respect.

Спасибо Леонид Ильич за Наше счастливое детство

[@bodypositiv6566]

Brezhnev was absolutely underated!

[@thunderbird1921]

Because he wasn't killing tens of millions of people and not screaming about his wishes to bury western civilization with nukes? Pretty low bar for him. Better than Stalin, Khrushchev and Andropov for sure though.

[@yumbam5546]

Brezhnev was dying to give Nixon a French kiss.

[@brianarbenz7206]

Ever wonder if that famous brown spot on Gorbachev's forehead was the result of a hickey from Brezhnev?

World was better with Nixon and Brezhnev

Молодец, что на гастроли начал ездить, вместо того, чтобы проблемы страны решать? Сталин такого себе не позволял.

Great leader, wise one.

[@thunderbird1921]

Fun fact: I'm pretty sure Brezhnev offered Nixon a proposal to put the whole U.S.-Soviet feud on hold and jointly attack Mao's China (which would of course be World War III, but in a more conventional conflict). Nixon declined the idea as unfeasible. Ol' Leonid was pretty darn worried about Mao's insane ambitions and behavior.
