Compared to the current world leaders, Brezhnev and others were much younger, although they tended to have shitty health, because they fought in the Great Patriotic War, many were wounded and generally had many health compications.
The main joke I remember is from 1980, so five years after he had a stroke, in which he begins a speech by saying "Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh" and an aide has to tell him that those are the Olympic rings.
What is the difference between Brezhnev and Gorbachev? Brezhnev collected Soviet decorations, while Gorbachev collected Western ones.
