Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev

Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, Moscow, 1963. By Yusuf Karsh. Leonid Ilyich was born on December 19, 1906. My grandfather knew him and fought together. And Brezhnev kissed his grandmothers hand at a reception, which seems to be dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Victory. She came home and said, “Im not going to wash my hand for a year now!” And because I was five years old, I took everything seriously. I thought everyone hadnt washed themselves for a year after kissing Brezhnev.
