14. Brezhnev Liked To Kiss Both Male And Female Diplomats
It's not something normally associated with dictators, but Brezhnev did love to pucker up and give foreign diplomats - both male and female - a big peck on the lips as a greeting. Possibly the most famous photo - and Berlin Wall mural - of Brezhnev shows him tongue-tied with East German leader Erich Honecker in 1979. Now that really is a "loving embrace", that's for certain.
