Best Answer

The Brezhnev Doctrine was the Soviet policy (named after Premier Leonid Brezhnev) of using military force to topple any government within the Warsaw Pact which began to show bourgeois tendencies. It's first and only implementation was against Czechoslovakia in 1968, where armies of the Warsaw Pact were successfully able to force liberal Communist Alexander Dubcek from power.

"When forces that are hostile to socialism and try to turn the development of some socialist country towards capitalism, it becomes not only a problem of the country concerned, but a common problem and concern of all socialist countries." - Leonid Brezhnev
