Tito, Communism, and the Breakdown of Yugoslavia

Conversation with Tata: we discuss Tito’s rule during former Yugoslavia’s communist era (Tito was in power from 1945-1980 when he died). We also speak a bit about what lead to the breakdown of Yugoslavia, but do not get much into the rise of Slobodan Milošević in this episode.

Note that the audio clips were taken from moments both indoors and outside (with some wind). Digressions include being ambushed by runners and Tata going on a random anti-natalist rant, lol. 

Some recommendations from Tata on learning more: 

• The Death of Yugoslavia, BBC documentary series (1995-6)
• Dejan Jovic, Yugoslavia: A State that Withered Away
• Tito by Ivo Goldstein
• The Serbs: History, Myth and the Destruction of Yugoslavia by Tim Judah
