Brezhnev Doctrine

"When forces that are hostile to socialism 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."

Implicit in this doctrine was that the leadership of the Soviet Union reserved to itself the right to define "socialism" and "capitalism." This meant in practice that no country was allowed to leave the Warsaw Pact or to disturb that nation's communist party's monopoly on power
