Yet he forged strong working relationships with the likes of Leonid Brezhnev and Mao.

不过，尼克松同勃列日涅夫和毛等人之间形成了劳固的工作关系。

Biographies of Stalin and Mikhail Gorbachev abound, but nobody has written seriously about Leonid Brezhnev, on whose watch the Soviet Union sank into drunken decay.

关于斯大林和戈尔巴乔夫的传记汗牛充栋，勃列日涅夫却鲜有人问津，即便他眼睁睁地看着前苏联陷入混沌恍惚的泥潭。

By 1970, the Soviet economy had  recoiled since Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev gave industries a chance to prioritize profits  instead of production.

到 1970 年，自苏联领导人列昂尼德·勃列日涅夫 (Leonid Brezhnev) 为工业界提供了优先考虑利润而非生产的机会后，苏联经济出现了反弹。

To justify this intervention, Leonid Brezhnev invented the Brezhnev Doctrine, which reserved for quote and unquote all socialist countries the right to intervene when or where a socialist country was being lured out of the Soviet bloc.

为了给这次干预正名，勃列日涅夫发明了勃列日涅夫学说，提出保留所有社会主义国家在某个社会主义国家被引诱出苏联集团时进行干预的权力。
