25段第三部分,老人统治
We trace the era of Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, a man whose bluff, pleasant personality disguised a tiny, alcohol-sodden brain.

他是一个十足的庸人,尽其所能让苏联衰退陷入了漠然的绝望
Brezhnev was not himself, as some believed, always old and senile.

He was merely in his late fifties when Khrushchev was deposed in 1964.

Brezhnev's handling of the Czechoslovakian Prague Spring of 1968 was vigorous.
