Mikey, Mikey.  We can forgive Brezhnev for not speaking Russian well,
after all, he was Georgian.  The plural, genitive, feminine form does
not end either with "aya" or "a".

should read:  Soyuz Sovietskikh Sozialisticheskikh Respublik

no big deal.  Take this in the spirit in which the original posting was
intended.

and remember,

Nyet Nichevo Radostnyeye Truda.
(for true transliteration purists, please forgive me, this
 is only an approximation, but I think this carries the pronunciation)
