Abstract
This chapter analyzes Soviet foreign policy in the late 1960s during the period of Chinese eclipse, the result of the Cultural Revolution, and its failure to reestablish a united revolutionary front under its own leadership. This period presented Moscow with new challenges resulting from its success in meeting an older one. The Soviet leadership had succeeded in fending off China, but these events led to tragic results in Latin America, Vietnam, and the Middle East. The Soviet solution to this would be control. If the Soviet Union was going to promote both anti-imperialism and détente at the same time, it would need greater control over its allies. This would be achieved by the only means available to the Soviet leadership: through the twin mechanisms of party and ideology, that is the same means the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) used to maintain control.
