Abstract
The article discusses the events of January 1979 in Cambodia which led to the toppling of the Khmer Rouge and the establishment of a political regime loyal to Vietnam. The author shows that aggressive anti-Vietnamese policies pursued by the Khmer Rouge regime created an acute security threat for the neighboring country. The inability to settle bilateral relations peacefully compelled Vietnam to solve the problem by using force. The article considers both positive and negative consequences of the Vietnamese military invasion in Cambodia. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of ongoing intense debates among political elites about the role of the Vietnamese factor during that period of Cambodian history.
