The leading logarithm approximation of QCD is used to calculate the inclusive cross section for production of a heavy-lepton pair in the pionization region and the correlations between the momenta of this pair and the quark which is nearest in rapidity (the hadron jet). It is shown that the transverse momentum distribution of the lepton pair reflects the ''random walk'' nature of the distribution in the gluon transverse momentum, which is responsible for the stationary vacuum singularity in QCD.
