RADIO FREE YUGOSLAVIA - 27/04/2009
Countries under the grip of the Soviet Union in the wake of World War Two
shared an ideology that united them all against Western capitalist
countries, which they considered their deadliest enemy. Yet such a unity
would soon be shattered. In 1948, Tito-led Yugoslavia denounced Stalin's
claims to be the only one leader of Socialism, and forged his own way of
building up socialism. For a long time Titoism bragged about its rift with
the Soviet Union. Yet Serbian historian Svetozar Sojanovici's "Fall of
Yugoslavia" published in 1997 revealed that such an ostensible heroism was
nothing but a facade. Actually it was not Tito who broke with Stalin, but
it was Stalin who repudiated Tito.
A supporter of the idea of exporting the communist revolution to the
Balkans, Tito had repeatedly asked Stalin to support the Greek communist
guerillas [sic], which ran counter to the promise he made to Churchill,
actually breaking a deal. Considered to be a personality posing a big
threat to the stability of the communist bloc, Tito was an outlaw in
Moscow. The anti-Titoist Yugoslavs, considered traitors, defected to
Moscow and the neighboring countries, for fear of retaliatory measures.
Romania, led by Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, involved in the Soviet-Yugoslav
conflict, took sides with the Soviet Union, offering shelter to Yugoslav
dissidence [sic] against Tito.
Yugoslavia's conflict with the USSR was also waged on radio waves. The
"Free Yugoslavia" clandestine radio station was relocated to Bucharest in
1949.
During World War Two, Radio Free Yugoslavia broadcast from the USSR as one
of COMINTERN's radio stations, contributing to the strengthening of the
Yugoslav partisan movement.
The radio station had three services: Serbo-Croatian, Slovenian and
Macedonian, and political instructions came from Moscow through the
Romanian Communist Party's Central Committee, from Iosif Chisinevschi's
cabinet, who at that time controlled the media.
Among those who settled in Romania at that time was Milan Petrovici, a
former deputy editor-in-chief of Free Yugoslavia. In an interview on Radio
Romania's Oral History Center, Milan Petrovici recalls:
