Untitled
Removed reference to Hungary in 1956. Brezhnev assumed power in '64 which makes me doubt that the doctrine was invoked in '56.
 * Yes very true, I confirmed this with my father who was their for the revoultion

Opinions
"The Soviets also begged that it was out of protection of their Southern border. It was also explained by the Soviets that they owed help to their friend and ally Babrak Karmal. While the real reason seems to be for the sake of their own expansion, the world will never really know their exact intentions." and other parts of the article contain too many opinions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.231.155.98 (talk) 14:52, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

"Mikhail Gorbachev repudiated the doctrine in the late 1980s"
A few lines later, the article says it was abandoned in response to the Polish crisis in 1980-81. Change "late" to "early"?

 * It's probably not that simple. In practice, the doctrine lost its validity during the Poland crisis in 1980/81. But it has been formally denounced only much later. During Chernenko's funeral in March 1985, Gorbachev told the East European leaders he intends to respect “their sovereignty and independence”. In October 1989 it has been formally denounced and replaced by the Sinatra doctrine.

Western bias
This article reads like a discussion paper for the National Endowment for Democracy. Anybody relying on Wikipedia as a source for studying contemporary world history since 1945 should be warned about the consistent right wing free market bias across its articles and steered towards texts and historians with a more balanced approach outside of the USA. 2A02:C7C:E048:500:1C0F:ED05:AE18:6755 (talk) 12:32, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Post-Brezhnev Doctrine
The section titled "Post-Brezhnev Doctrine" is not well written, and I propose it for deletion. To focus, first take note that there is no such thing and cannot be, "Post-Brezhnev Doctrine". Kotika98 (talk) 21:34, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
