Summary

Cartoon shows Soviet leaders Leonid Brezhnev and Aleksey Kosygin walking along a street in Moscow wearing rumpled suits and ties and generally showing their age. A dapper young man without a tie, labeled "Next Generation of Soviet Leaders," strides along behind them. By 1977, the Soviet government was made up of old hard-line Communists who had been raised under the tutelage of Stalin. Valtman is prescient in his speculation that a new breed, who had never known the ideological fervor of the Russian Revolution, would lead the Soviet Union in a more modern direction.
