From the page: "a recent study published by the Brookings Institution about American and Soviet interventions in other countries during the Cold War suggests that Washingtonâ€s interventions did not have the much-heralded effect of spreading democracy around.
Based on recently declassified information from the CIA and the KGB, the Brookings analysis of dozens of efforts to topple and prop up foreign governments throughout the cold war finds interventions by both Moscow and Washington led to similar declines in democracy in the country on the receiving end.
The driving force in intervention for both countries appears to have generally been the same: installing a crony in power. Notably, the study found that when the country that intervened was a democracy it was not significantly more likely to produce democracy than when the country that intervened was a dictatorship. More precisely, the study found that both American and Soviet interventions decreased democracy by about 33 percent."
