In 1968, Brezhnev introduced a new doctrine of "Limited Sovereignty" in order to justify the invasion of Czechoslovakia. In 1969, as the Eastern Bloc countries of Romania and Yugoslavia began to rebel against Moscow's control of their governments, the Soviet Union asserted its dominance. Title from item.

Editorial cartoon shows a pig, dressed in a military uniform wearing a cap with U.S.S.R. across the band, holding a gun and whip, speaking to angry farm animals represented as Romania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Poland, Hungary, and West European Communist parties.
