Revision as of 03:21, 1 June 2011

This article is about the influence of the Yugoslav Communist party on Croatian society. The party was the main driving force in all social matters within the former Yugoslavia. Its Stalinist policies from the 1940s to the 1960s and authoritarian rule have been mostly ignored in the Western media. There needs to be an historical reassessment. For example here is a statement made by Aleksandar Rankovic, the Interior Minister and the head of the military and secret police of Yugoslavia at a Belgrade Assembly (meeting):

Through our prisons has passed between 1945 and 1951, 3 777 776 prisoners, while we killed 586 000 enemies of the people. Taken from Politika, Belgrade/1 February 1951 (p.1) [1]

Another example is the "Commission on Concealed Mass Graves in Slovenia". The commission's finding was that there are 100 000 victims in 581 mass graves within Slovenia a former republic of Yugoslavia. According to the Reports and Proceedings of the European Public Hearing on “Crimes Committed by Totalitarian Regimes" (Link) , the killings were committed by the Yugoslav Paritsian Army in 1945 and 1946. The Communists of Yugoslavia were the main organisers of a large scale execution of POWs and people who were guilty by association only and never bought to trial. Documents show that many of these people were refugees and amongst them were large numbers of women and children.

Post Berlin Wall and the former Communist Yugoslavia

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, a lot of factual evidence has emerged that indicate the former Communist Yugoslavia was responsible for executing mass murders, arrests and torture. Most media have turned a blind eye to these tragic issues. Very little has been reported about these unearthed historic events. One event worth mentioning is Ian Cuthbertson's review of the documentary called Tito's Ghosts in the Australian newspaper The Australian called “Balkans hero with a Bloodthirsty Streak” (September 13, 2008).
