Type: book
Abstract: The collective monograph offered to the reader's attention continues the series "Moscow and Eastern Europe" and is devoted to the study of the influence and perception of the Yugoslav model of socialism in the countries of the Soviet bloc. The authors are historians from Russia, Bulgaria, Hungary and Serbia, who study the features of the process of searching by national communists for optimal options for modernizing the socialist regimes of Eastern Europe. A wide range of sources are used to examine the assessments of the Yugoslav experience and their evolution under the conditions of a limiting external (Soviet) factor and following the "standard" Soviet model, plans for the formation of a variable version of socialism with moderate democratization, economic modernization and political liberalization, taking into account the national traditions and specifics of the development of each of the countries. Increased attention to the Yugoslav model in the 1960s is noted, in the context of declining economic growth, which caused a wave of reforms in the Eastern bloc. The publication is addressed to fellow historians, specialists in the history of Slavic and Balkan peoples, teachers, and all those interested in the “difficult questions” of the past.
