the previous Or - one of the worst crimes of the Brezhnev era was squandering the Soviet Union's chances of victory and crushing its main geopolitical enemy, the United States, in the 1970s. The seventies were the height of the Soviet Union's power. Despite all the shortcomings of Alon's economy, enormous resources were accumulated. Most importantly, there is a whole army of talented scientists, designers and engineers with non-trivial thinking. With a set of projects that guarantee the opportunity to overtake the West, without catching up with it, without being dragged after it in eternal copying/imitation. At the same time, the Soviet Union is not yet immersed in Afghanistan, the USA is in a serious internal crisis, Western Europe is not even thinking about convulsions, it is looking for our good. But Brezhnev's composure did not even realize the historic opportunity that had opened up. I didn't really understand what was available to me. Who did Brezhnevism consist of? From rather cynical and unprincipled party mechanisms that have not read either Marx and Engels or Lenin for a long time. Their main idea was to dominate and stay in the trough. And not to defeat the enemy, but to reach an agreement with him. The Brezhnevs were the very young generation of the nomenclature that came to replace those who were repressed in 1937-1938. And after the boss war. They often wrote denunciations against them to take the place of those who were shot/imprisoned. Let us remember how the "intellectual" Andropov destroyed the one who raised him - the Karelian party leader Kuprianov. This dullness was able to demand reprisals against the Trotskyist-Zinovy ​​dogs at rallies, and then (when the prospect of going to the Wall or Kolyma arose) to expel Stalin from the world. Then - to support Khrushchev in his de-Stalinization, then - to devour Nikitka-Kokorozny. What was completely absent from Brezhnevism was bold vision, national pride and nobility. It's no wonder this nonsense has so mediocrely flushed the most glorious prospects of the 1970s down the toilet. The current elite are similar to them.
