The explanations of the origins of Tito-Stalin split are to be found in
the evolution of the CPY from 1937 onwards, and are intrinsically linked with
the actions of Josip Broz, better known as Tito. He became a member of the
Central Committee in 1934 and as such went to Moscow, only to inherit the
actual leadership of the Party during the purges. He proved to be a true Stalin ist leader since he never questioned any instructions he got from Moscow. If
anything, he showed himself to be overzealous. On several occasions, Georgi
Dimitrov had to explain to him that there was no chance a social revolution
could successfully be carried out in Yugoslavia before the War. The German
attack on Yugoslavia did not incite Tito to act, but Hitler’s attack on the USSR
did. Once they joined the war, Tito and the CPY started pursuing their own
agenda – social revolution as a consequence of the victory in the Civil War they
had waged against the Yugoslav King, the Royal Government, ...and their Minis ter of War in Yugoslavia – general Dragoljub, Draža, Mihailović. For Dimitrov
and the Soviet authorities, Tito’s actions risked to provoke problems within the
Allied coalition. Therefore he was reprimanded on several occasions, until the
Partisan units under his command were recognized also by the Western Al lies. The Partisan Army, and the state institutions that were created during the
war gave his movement enough potential to be at the forefront of the conflicts
in Trieste and in Greece which heralded in the Cold War. The conflict with
Stalin was provoked by the same tendency of Tito’s to advance his own inter ests without consulting Moscow. The causes of the conflict were not ideological
since Yugoslavia was the most faithful disciple of the USSR. They were in fact
geostrategic; the conflict was about the discipline within the Soviet bloc. The
importance and solidity of Partisans and their institutions allowed Tito and the
CPY to withstand the pressure of the Cominform countries.
