1968年1月,捷克斯洛伐克共产党领导人为解决经济的倒退问题,任命了新的党委书记亚历山大·杜布切克

那年春天,杜布切克凭借包括自由言论
increased power for trade unions, and the right to ignore Soviet policies.

The corrupt Czechoslovakian president resigned and was replaced by a Dubcek supporter.

Dubcek pledged that Czechoslovakia would not leave the Warsaw Pact, but on August 21, 1968 Warsaw Pact forces invaded Czechoslovakia anyway.
杜布切克保证捷克斯洛伐克不会退出华沙公约,但是1968年8月21日,华沙公约军队还是入侵了捷克斯洛伐克
Dubcek was carried off to Moscow, soon he was announcing his support and gratitude for the Russian intervention.
杜布切克被带到了莫斯科,很快就宣布他支持并且感谢俄国的干预
Needless to say, Dubcek's reforms were also canceled.

To justify this intervention, Leonid Brezhnev invented the "Brezhnev Doctrine,"

which reserved for quote and unquote "all socialist countries" the right to intervene when or where a socialist country was being lured out of the Soviet bloc.
提出保留所有社会主义国家在某个社会主义国家被引诱出苏联集团时进行干预的权力
Although the Western bloc rightly protested the invasion of Czechoslovakia,

there were strong parallels between the Brezhnev Doctrine and the Monroe Doctrine.
