Josip Broz Tito is one of the most interesting figures of 20th Century. He held together a country of six republics, three religions, two alphabets and one impossibly complicated set of ethnic tensions for 35 years through sheer force of personality. He defied Stalin, played the Americans and Soviets against each other simultaneously, dodged hundreds of assassination attempts, hosted JFK, Elizabeth Taylor, and Saddam Hussein at the same table, had Sophia Loren cook pasta for him on his private yacht. When he died in 1980, the country he had held together began quietly falling apart. Born in 1892 to a peasant family in the Zagorje region of northern Croatia, he fought in two World Wars, survived Stalin's purges when almost everyone around him was executed, led the most effective guerrilla resistance movement in occupied Europe, built a communist state that refused to take orders from Moscow, and then co-founded a third global bloc of nations that refused to take orders from anyone. When he died in 1980 representatives from 128 countries came to his funeral including four kings, six princes, 31 presidents and 22 prime ministers. It remains one of the most attended state funerals in history. In 1948 Stalin attempted to bring Yugoslavia into line as a Soviet satellite. Tito refused. He expelled Soviet advisers, purged Soviet sympathisers from his own party, and reportedly sent Stalin a letter warning that if he did not stop sending assassins, Tito would send one of his own to Moscow and would not need to send a second. He then declined to align with the West either, which the Americans had assumed would be the obvious next step. He played both superpowers against each other for thirty years and used the leverage to give Yugoslavians a standard of living, freedom of movement, and access to Western goods that no other communist country in Europe could match. His favourite dish, documented in his personal cookbook compiled by Anja Drulović and corroborated by his longtime butler Joze Oseli, was Zagorski Štrukli. A pulled dough filled with fresh cottage cheese and sour cream, rolled into a log, baked in cream until puffed and deeply golden. The dish of the Zagorje farmhouses where he grew up. © Eats History #archaeohistories

Die Propaganda schießt mal wieder übers Ziel hinaus: 32.000 Anhänger des serbischen Präsidenten Vucic sollen sich heute in der "Arena" in Belgrad versammelt haben. Doch die Halle fasst nur max. 18.000 Menschen: arenabeograd.com/mesta-u-areni/ kurir.rs/vesti/politika…
