Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union in
the Early Cold War
This book provides a comprehensive insight into one of the key episodes of the
Cold War – the process of reconciliation between Yugoslavia and the Soviet
Union.
At the time, this process shocked the world as much as the violent break up of
their relations did in 1948. This book provides an explanation for the collapse of
the process of normalization of Yugoslav–Soviet relations that occurred at the
end of 1956 and the renewal of their ideological confrontation. It also explains
the motives that guided the two main protagonists, Josip Broz Tito of Yugosla-
via and the Soviet leader Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev.
Based on Yugoslav and Soviet archival documents, this book establishes
several innovative theories about this period. First, that the significance of the
Yugoslav–Soviet reconciliation went beyond their bilateral relationship. It had
ramifications for relations in the Eastern Bloc, the global Communist movement,
and on the dynamics of the Cold War world at a crucial juncture. Second, that
the Yugoslav–Soviet reconciliation brought forward the process of de-
Stalinization in the USSR and in the People’s Democracies. Third, it enabled
Khrushchev to win the post-Stalin leadership contest. Lastly, the book argues
that the process of Yugoslav–Soviet reconciliation permitted Tito to embark,
together with Nehru of India and Nasser of Egypt, upon creating a new entity in
the bipolar Cold War world – the Non-Aligned Movement.
This book will be of interest to students of Cold War History, diplomatic
history, European history and International Relations in general.
