Brezhnev (Russian: Брежнев) is a 2005 biographical TV movie about Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. It originally aired in four parts on Russia's Channel One.

The movie was an expensive period piece partly filmed in the Kremlin. While nostalgic, the film does not attempt to rehabilitate Brezhnev.^[1]
