...Party Leader Leonid Brezhnev on his last visit to Bucharest. After an open-air limousine ride into the capital amid crowds estimated between 250,000 and 500,000, Hua held private conversations with Ceauşescu, and was expected to visit the oil center of Ploesti, the Black Sea port of Constanta, and the Danube River port of Galati, which is within sneering distance of the Soviet border...
