Last week the route was lined by 800,000 Muscovites waving paper tricolors and shouting "Druzhba!" (friendship).

Unlike Khrushchev, who concentrated on opening up Asian virgin lands, Brezhnev and Kosygin plan to put the main emphasis on improving already cultivated areas west of the Urals. Brezhnev also put his prestige behind the most unusual departure in Soviet agriculture since the 1930s: a guaranteed wage for the kolkhozniks (collective farm laborers) that will make their income nearly equivalent to the earnings...
