In his Report on the 50th anniversary of the formation of the USSR, Leonid Brezhnev emphasized: "That is why Communists and all fighters for socialism believe that the main aspect of the national question is unification of the working people, regardless of their national origin, in the common battle against every type of oppression, and for a new social system which rules out exploitation of the working people."
Dalam laporannya pada ulang tahun Uni Soviet ke-50, Leonid Brezhnev menegaskan: "Ini sebabnya para Komunis dan pejuang sosialisme percaya bahwa aspek utama persoalan kebangsaan kita adalah penyatuan kelas pekerja, tanpa memandang asal usulnya, dalam perjuangan bersama melawan segala jenis penindasan dan menciptakan sistem sosial baru yang meniadakan eksploitasi kelas pekerja."
