Leonid Brezhnev is delivering at speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 1980 Moscow Olympics. He takes to the podium, and the stadium goes silent. "O," he says, "Oooo O. Oooooo. Ooooo." "Comrade Brezhnev!" whispers his handler, "You're reading the Olympic rings!"
My dude couldn't even wish a happy new year without peaking 2-3 times on his notes. All missing is a pencil he's obsessively clicking and we're set for 100% charisma
@@Ved000000 I'm pretty sure no ruler ever was as idiotic as Biden is (comparing Brezhnev to Biden, or saying they are the same is idiotic, too, but I'm sure you were just kidding lol)
There is a joke in Hungary that goes as "Brezhnev disappears during a hunt. Every detective is focused on finding him. The best detective announces that he was eaten by a bear! -How do you know that?-he is asked. -The bear has been shitting medals for the third day- the detective says."
We had a joke in the Finnish army too. Our sergeant major asked us; "Do you boys know what a Russian ass-shaking machine is like!". None of us naturally had a clue and the sergeant major answered "well it doesn't shake or fit in your ass either."
You can tell this is fairly early on in his rule in 1970 because he only has the two medals, by the time it ended he managed to award himself about half a dozen more. There is a famous Russian joke about Brezhnev getting chest expansion surgery so he could fit more medals on. The other really good joke is Brezhnev showing his mother all the fancy houses, suits, jewellery, expensive cars and limos he collected as General Secretary while his mother gets more and more alarmed, finally ending with her saying: But Leonid, what will you do if the communists come back? LOL
The funny thing about Brezhnev is that he needed notes for everything and he'd read everything. Hence the "O! O! O! O! O! (applause)" joke they had in Soviet Union. Plus he had this thing that he loved to award himself medals.
@@daMacadamBlob Here you are Brezhnev reads out a greeting to the athletes at the 1980 Olympics: - O! O! O! O! O! The referent whispers to him: - These are not "O"s, but the Olympic rings! The text is below!
@@Losrandir a bad, but straightforward translation. It would be more correctly translated as "merry new happiness", happiness, in this context, being new exciting and successful events in the new year.
An old joke from the soviet union: It is a sunny morning when Brezhnev decides to leave the house in order to go to work. Suddenly, the sun smiles at him and calls out “Good Morning, Comrade Brezhnev!” He is surprised and excitedly tells his comrades about it at work. Of course nobody believes him, and so he decides to prove it to them that evening. He waves at the sun and it calls back: “Leave me alone, you disgusting old fuck!” - “How dare you speak to me like that? Do you even know who I am?!” “Well I am in the West now, I can say whatever I want!”
there's a version of that joke told in the film "The Lives of Others" and it's an incredibly chilling scene. Wonderful movie, if any people reading are looking for a recommendation.
He had to read those words from a page on his little desk in front of him. The Politburo can't remember two super simple phrases they've been hearing countless times, every New Year, throughout their entire lives. Frightening, seriously.
So another one: "Brezhnev gives a speech at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. He says: Ooh! -applause- Ooh! -applause- Ooh! -applause- Ooh! -awkward silence- Ooh! -a man runs up to him and whispers: General Secretary, the Olympic rings are not part of your speech! "

Thank you, Comrade Brezhnev! The world was a better place when you and the USSR were around. Since you left, everything has tuned into shxt. We have global US hegemony and the expansion of exploitation around the world. Society has never been more unequal in the West. People have never been so divided, so ungovernable. Only in hindsight do we realise what was lost. There must be both geopolitical balance in the world, as well as balance between the interests of labour and capital. We miss you and we miss the great USSR.
the fact that he had to look down at this script twice is what makes him Brezhnev
