Tito - Staljin conflict

Početci prijepora između Tita i Staljina ocrtavaju se još za vrijeme Drugoga svjetskog rata. Samom sukobu prethodilo je povlačenje sovjetskih savjetnika iz FNRJ, zatim pismo koje je upozorilo Jugoslaviju na krivu politiku koju vodi i na nedosljednu primjenu sovjetskoga modela. U lipnju 1948. Rezolucija Informbiroa optužila je vodstvo KPJ za niz zastranjenja te Jugoslavija isključena iz te organizacije. Sljedećih godina neslaganja se zaoštravaju te dolazi i do mogućnosti otvorenog vojnog sukoba. KPJ se vrlo brzo okreće procesuiranju mogućih protivnika i pristalica Rezolucije u Jugoslaviji. Veći prekršitelji su završavali u zatvorima, uglavnom na zloglasnom Golom otoku gdje su metodu „preodgoja“ provodili sami zatvorenici. Budući da su SSSR i zemlje lagera provodile političku i gospodarsku blokadu Jugoslavije, Tito je morao tražiti saveznika na drugoj strani i pronašao ga je u SAD-u. Pomoć je bila prilično velika. Nakon Staljinove smrti dolazi do smirivanja i popravljanja odnosa sa SSSR-om koji Jugoslaviji priznaje pravo na samostalan socijalistički razvoj.The beginning of dispute between Tito and Stalin can be traced in World War II. The conflict itself was preceded by the withdrawal of Soviet advisors from Yugoslavia, then the letter which warned the country’s leaders for the wrong policy they were leading and for the inconsistent implementation of the Soviet model. In June 1948, the Cominform Resolution accused the leadership of Yugoslav Communist Party for a series of deviations and they excommunicated Yugoslavia from this organization. In the next few years the disagreements became more intense and there was even a possibility of an open military conflict. The Party quickly turned towards prosecuting possible adversaries and supporters of the Resolution in Yugoslavia. Major offenders would end up in prison, mostly in the notorious Goli otok where the prisoners would carry out their own correction. Since the USSR and its satellite countries were carrying out the economic and political blockade of Yugoslavia, Tito had to find an ally on the other side and he found it in the USA. The help was significant. After Stalin’s death the relations between the USSR and Yugoslavia began to improve and the Soviets acknowledged Yugoslavia had the right to an independent socialist development
