Strictly Protocol. Brezhnev turned his ceremonial duties over to Premier Aleksei Kosygin. The Rumanians countered by sending out a welcoming delegation headed by Premier Ion Maurer, Kosygin's exact equivalent in government rank but not in real power or party stature. Crowds lining the Soviet Premier's parade route were perhaps one-tenth the size of the ones that welcomed President Nixon to Bucharest last year. Ceausescu stayed away from the formal events, including his own government's official reception and the treaty signing. He entertained Kosygin at one luncheon and spent three hours in private talks...
...Knesset speech was not a definite rejection. Nor have Israel's opponents thus far rejected Rogers' proposals. Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who arrived in Moscow for a week-long official visit, met three times with Soviet Communist Boss Leonid Brezhnev and Premier Aleksei Kosygin, principally to discuss the U.S. overture. At the United Nations, Russian Ambassador Yakov Malik indicated that Moscow might be amenable to something less than complete Israeli withdrawal. Russia's Ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Dobrynin, made the same point six weeks ago in the private discussions he has been having with...
Many Russians would feel less unsettled by the new portrayal of Stalin if the present regime of Leonid Brezhnev and Aleksei Kosygin were not embarked upon a campaign of selective repression against intellectual dissidents.

Winding up his visit to Russia, Astronaut Neil Armstrong delighted Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin with gifts from America-a small Russian flag that was carried on Apollo 11 and some chips of moon rock mounted in Lucite. Later, touring the Kremlin Armory museum with Cosmonaut Georgy Beregovoy, he joked that there had been no fair exchange. Beregovoy indicated the museum's display of czarist crown jewels. "Pick one," he said. Armstrong pointed. "Fine," said the Russian. "That will cost you $300 million." Replied Armstrong: "I think I'll wait until they sell it at half price...
...first visit to Prague since the occupation began, Brezhnev brought along a high-powered Soviet delegation, including Premier Aleksei Kosygin and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. The Czechoslovak regime that succeeded exiled reformer Alexander Dubcek (see box page 29) seemed obsequiously anxious to prove just how far it had progressed toward "normalization." Prague was bedecked with Soviet as well as Czechoslovak flags. Brezhnev was heartily applauded in the elegant gold and white Spanish Hall of Prague's Hradcany Castle when he addressed a combined session of the Federal Assembly, the National Front and the Central Committee. All three bodies have...
