Speech by the First Secretary of the CC of the CPSU (Leonid I. Brezhnev)

2 Dec 1970
Description: In his speech at the December 1970 Political Consultative Committee (PCC) meeting in Berlin, Leonid Brezhnev regards the two West German-Soviet and West German-Polish treaties as a watershed in shaping relations with the West to the East's advantage, but admits that it is too early to tell how negotiations on West Berlin will turn out. He notes that the government of West German Chancellor Willy Brandt is still weak and needs support, warning that fluctuations in relations with West Germany should be expected. He singles out the project for a European Security Conference as the next top priority.
