But the government of the Soviet Union, the essential partner in such a future order, still seems to favor the feral approach. Knowing the world was looking somewhere else, its army stamped a bloody boot on separatist Lithuania -- a no-nonsense warning that the union of Soviet republics will not be allowed to splinter.
