Brezhnev Era

Famous quotes containing the words brezhnev and/or era:

“Whatever else may divide us, Europe is our common home; a common fate has linked us through the centuries, and it continues to link us today.”
—Leonid Brezhnev (1906–1982)

“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
