Leonid Brezhnev was in power in the Soviet Union for almost 20 years, and during that time people remembered him above all for his enormous desire to kiss the leaders of other countries. One on the left cheek, one on the right cheek and a final one - on the lips. A socialist fraternal kiss or "Triple Brezhnev" as Soviet people called it quickly became his signature move. Where did this strange tradition come from? And why did Leonid Ilyich mostly kiss only men?

Somehow you found my video and decided to watch it. So let me introduce myself. I'm Sergei and I'm from Russia. My channel is about my native country. I want to tell English-speaking viewers about the real Russia, about its past and present. Unfortunately, you can find a lot of propaganda about Russia on the Internet, both from the Russian media and from the Western ones. I want to tell you about Russia, as it really is, the country in which I was born, grew up, and lived all my life. Free Stock Footage provided by Videvo.net and Videezy.com.

@szariq7338last year I' ve also heard, that the real origins of men kissing are from cavemen times. Men (around 40 years old) which were still capable of hunting, but lost most of their teeth needed food to be chewed by younger, which in turn would pass the food to the elders directly.
this was a sign of respect and hierarchy and still russian mafia does this (maybe even other eastern european mafias). ...Expand 18
