Thats some real Forshadowing

[@kostam.1113]

You didn't have to be a genius to see that

[@nedzibberisa8786]

runningforbetter the concerns appeared before Titos death , already in the 70s the people expected the breakup of the country, when Tito will be gone. There are multiple reasons for the breakup, bad economics, as it's mentioned in the report, overwhelming bureaucracy, deep systematic corruption and the rise of Ronald Reagan, a communist hater, who influenced international institutions not to help Yugoslavia to overcome its economic crisis. The growing nationalism wasn't the reason, it was a tool to destroy the country and robbing it. Tito is for sure a disputable politician, for without a doubt he was the greatest politician in the regions history and one of the greatest politicians in the world of his time, considered his funeral. And if he was corrupt, like many say, how come his grandson is a cab driver in Belgrade.?

An alleged letter Tito sent to Stalin: "Stop sending me your assassins, we caught them all. Otherwise I will send you one and there won't be a second one to be sent"

[@marotvorec]

i think it was "Stalin stop sending assassins to kill me, we already have got one with a bomb and another with a gun, if you dont stop sending assassins then ill send one to Moscow and i wont have to send another" or something similar

@@saccorhytus you mean the fact that the vast majority of those buried people were actually innocent, never convicted and found guilty of any crimes. Since when were women, children and old people Ustaša or Domobranci nationalists? My parents vividly remember people all of a sudden disappearing and ending up in those mass graves around Celje, Maribor and Kočevje simply because the communist revolutionary regime deemed them to be enemies of the state because they dared to criticise the new order.

Tito obvious big mistake was never grooming a successors. Yugoslavia needed strong top down leadership to hold the federation together.

[@paulallen8109]

Tito's obvious big mistake was thinking Yugoslavia could live on high credits and a huge dept indefinitely and that both the major powers would always prop up Yugoslavia with generous loans and services to keep them from joining the other side. When *any* country faces severe economic hardship it will begin to support extremists and start pointing fingers as any "scapegoat" to blame everything on. Would we have seen Hitler and the nazis in Germany if not for the Versailles Treaty and the Great Depression (struck Germany particularly hard because it was highly dependent on trade and trade ground down to a worldwide halt) ? Once the Soviet Union was going bankrupt in the 80's it could barely sustain itself much less provide Yugoslavia with trade or services. Meanwhile Germany needed all its money to prop up East-Germany once they were re-united. Who else were going to invest in Yugoslavia at this time? A good successor might have bought Yugoslavia some time but without the economic foundations to survive the people still go berserk. Besides, even if he had groomed a successor it's very likely that one would live in his shadow even after his death and people would constantly compare him with his "great predecessor". Tito could always rely on the great cult of personality which followed him. Any successor would't have this huge advantage. The only way this could possibly have worked is if a successor was groomed for a good decade or more making people warm up to him and accepting him as the "next at the helm". Considered the severe difficulties Yugoslavia faced this successor would have had to be a seriously charming, astute and competent man. In other words what he faces is a serious challenge given the economic climate.

[@amarbojicic4995]

Tito's successor was supposed to be Džemal Bijedić, who was killed by the Serbs in 1977

[@marlenobohn3889]

I grew up during the transition from communism in Slovenia, the only republic that did not participate in the war. I love my country and today we live much better financially. But I feel bad about the way Yugoslavia ended. It was such a beautiful country, with such kind and united people, especially patriotic. We were very proud of our anthem, our history of resistance against the Germans and even our football team. And to think that in the end people would end up killing themselves in the streets I watched the war on television and what we saw was true belief. It was impossible to think that our people would be capable of committing so many atrocities. My cousin, Ducana, who lived in Sarajevo. She had to flee with her son to Slovenia to avoid being killed by her own neighbors, who were Serbs. Including her husband's family.

[@bmw803]

Goes to show that Socialism and government interference in economies ALWAYS fails. It takes years to malfunction and until that day happens, the previous regime is always viewed as the innocent ones. But, they built the failures over time.

[@biaginger]

Macedonia was the only republic to separate without war-- Slovenia still had the Ten-Day War. So much heartache 💔

[@marlenobohn3889]

​@@biagingerI refer to the Bosnian war. The Ten Day War was more a war of threats than a bloody war. Yes, my eldest brother and his friends were called up to fight, but they didn't fight with the federation army. Everything was congested, without light and planes cutting across the oasis. It was scary, but it doesn't compare to what happened in Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia.

[@handyandyradio]

I just recently started learning about Yugoslavia. As an American, I'm actually quite envious of the country they built. I'm not a communist or a capitalist. I don’t think too mucb of ideologies in general, but I now have a respect for what Yugoslavia was and what it stood for. Hopefully a country sych as that can emerge once again someday.

[@myowngenesis]

Tito was smart but also a moron. He was convinced that the global financial system would collapse before he died. Hence the massive loans from the IMF, knowing full well there was no chance of paying bsck

« Traffic controller »? At 11:15...He isn’t a « traffic controller » but more likely a Parking Attendant checking on parking payments made and whether some had overstayed their time... Were he a traffic controller he’d be standing at the centre of busy town cross roads or street junctions controlling traffic where otherwise traffic lights would be doing so. Unless he does both jobs....and has described his employment by the better sounding title...which I doubt, he looks too intelligent and honest for that vanity.
