Frustrations to Titov Size – Personal views

Thus Joseph Broz Tito is an increasingly frequent topic of historians, quasi-historians, who understood all of our misconceptions, disappointed winners and a growing number of euphoric former losers, who win eighty years after the King and Father « , winning eighty years after the Second World War.

History probably did not even clarify and set in place, but there are periods and names whose importance is hardly able to change any details hidden in archives and faded memories. In recent days, more precisely on Saturday / week 3/4. Maja, Nenad Ž. Petrovic, known as a historian, and signed as a writer and publicist, in the text « Tito Man with many faces » revealed a long time ago, which we have long known several fewer known, but whose irrelevance is more than obvious.

In the intention of more fully lighten the figure and work of Joseph Broz, Petrović expresses the attitude towards him in a way as if he wants to join Aleksandar Šapić in his intention to move Titov grave from Belgrade. Sapic’s primitive, aggressive superficialness would be given such intellectual, « factual » support.

It does not serve in honor or a distinguished list « Today » to publish a typical pamphlet on it, giving it two and a half, what, as far as I remember, did not happen with better texts since « today » was launched. It’s simple, it’s not working.

And what does it reveal to us by historian, writer and publicist? Tito became famous after the « bombing process », at some of the trials he said « recognizes only the court of his party », which made the reputation of a consistent revolutionary, which is known. However, it reveals Petrović, it is only a « romantic description », because he lived well in prisons of the Jugoslavia, and it was also enclosed from the police, whose tactics was that « his finished agents are showing as martyrs » to use them later.

Such « probable » claims belong to a typically pamphletic decse that banalizes the debate and thus consciously destroys the person written about. It is a great discovery of the mentioned text that Broz did not enter the Communist Party in 1937. As we used to learn, and that it was not even in 1939. but only in 1940. when the Communist agreed, and Yugoslav Communists. Well, it is important to historians, it is important to do. For a total illumination of the past and Tito’s role in it, the detail is completely irrelevant.

Tito traveled through Europe with fake passports, I guess Petrovic remembers, I guess it underlines his mugging line and closeness to problem circles. The man was illegal in difficult times, when Europe has not yet clearly determined according to fascism and nazism, but neither towards communism. What was supposed to work when he traveled from country to country, to carry with her paper with the written intentions and shows it at every border crossing?

Well, the decision to start uptaking against the occupiers was made on the day of Germany attacks to the Soviet Union, but later after the breakup with Stalin, for the day of the Borac, declared 4. July. Yes, so what? At the beginning of the war, while the partisans and Chetniks were still trying to work through the territory of Draža Mihajlović, Petrović, states again banalizing the subject, because what is so sensational if it is a collaboration period in an attempt.

The dilemma that Tito was secretly or « secret » was also completely insignificant, and emphasizing that the Germans knew all partisans during the war should, I guess it was a Tito discovered the enemy, which is a special absurd. Criticizes Petrović and Churchilles, because its help is as an anti-communist, the movement of Yugoslav communists, either « slaughter ox for kilo meat ». Should he deal with himself like this?

What is really fractional in the text, is the effort of the author to problematize and challenge Tito’s attitude towards Stalin and the Soviet Union in the period after the war.

First, Tito and Yugoslav Communists glorified Stalin and the USSR, and then they turned against him! So? And there were camps and persecuted who did not agree to the deflection to the Soviets. It is all clarified long ago and no one was thrown by the island and similar prisons, but not mentioned by the Soviet Union, which in that country, former and centuries, there are for centuries, it is too biased unreality for one historian.

It would be good for antititis, anticommunists and the haters of socialism, was better that Yugoslavia was under Stalin and inherit the difficulty of socialism, and the fraternal Russian people is shamelessly in relation to those who belonged to the eastern stock.

Then you would not have to be ashamed of livin ‘from Poles, Czech, Slovak, Hungarians, Bulgarians, Romanians, and what our young people were wearing a deadline, which would be told by Titoist Yugoslavia, and would not have to apologize for « Open Anti-Sovietism ».

The analysis of the past actualizes and modern lapses, which obviously belong to the context of fascism, because it leads to a conclusion that forces and his teams there, the only ones, are the only ones who fought against Hitler.

The recent past Petrović completes the issue: why that « self-governing socialism », which has long been considered socialism with the human character, not survived, when he was so good and why he collapsed? This superficial tendency question can only set someone who is not from here and who accepted all accumulated prejudices against the post-war Yugoslavia.

I personally know Petrovic, I saw him in fairly left-handed and anti-fascist circles, so I was shown like this in such environments. If someone who has a solid total and historical education is not because its basic values ​​are suburfated and because they are humanism, primarily by ruling and intellectual circles from Serbia, to impose their will to others, then it is difficult to continue the conversation.

In the narrowed visor of bad intentions, the author apparently agrees to the Decommunity, according to all causes of the failure of the former common countries, the Titu should be attributed, which is a special absurd. In fact, the nationalists of all Ethnos Tito is the most and bothered because the antipod is their basic ideological starting point.

I don’t know what will change the opening of the Archives of London and Moscow in terms of objectivation of Tito’s role, which desirable by the author. It is known that Tito’s funeral was attended by the Queen Elizabeth Prince Filip, Prime Minister Margaret Tačer, and both former Head of the UK Mission at the Meckle and William Dikin Resistance Movement.

I guess because they didn’t know what about Titu and his role writes in British archives. When they open, we may find out that he had more passports, women and names than we knew, so we will be able to conclude again: Bravo Josipe Broz, you were a car, or Maher, in order to say Petrović. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the misery of the philosophy is inexhaustible.
