A culture of memory: The 1962 student demonstrations over the assassination of Patrice Lumumba

Do you remember Tshombe?

During the day, the approach to the Belgian embassy was blocked. Already at 17 p.m., large groups of demonstrators, mostly students, approached the embassy, ​​broke through the cordon of the law enforcement authorities and, after provocations by the Belgian embassy staff, attacked the very building of the diplomatic mission. Only with the arrival of new reinforcements did the forces of order establish control over the disturbances in which more than 80 people were lightly and seriously injured.

Anniversaries and Divisions: It's going to be a tumultuous year

The end of the Second World War, Dayton, the Fifth of October, the corona virus - this year we have round anniversaries that always raise political dust.

Jugonostalgia

Why do Serbs mourn Yugoslavia

As many as 81 percent of respondents in Serbia believe that the breakup of Yugoslavia was a mistake. Historians explain to "Vreme" whether it is the famous Yugonostalgia or something else

About the book

Father of Serbian service

It is believed that the lack of courage is the reason why the life of Slobodan Penezić Krcun is not investigated. Recently, "Vukotić Media" published a book by Bojan Dimitrijević about this important figure for the young Yugoslav state.

Josip Broz

Tito remains in the House of Flowers despite Šapić's intention to raise his rating by exhuming him

The idea of ​​the mayor of Belgrade, Aleksandar Šapić, that the casket with the body of Josip Broz Tito be removed from the House of Flowers was not liked by many, including the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, even though he shares his aversion to the "communist regime".

Nothing from Šapić's initiative

Vučić: Tito's tomb will not be moved

The tomb of the former president of the SFRY, Josip Broz Tito, will not be moved from the Museum of Yugoslavia, confirmed the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.

The fate of Tito's grave

Šapić's "quality" exhumation of Josip Broz Tito: Without a hawthorn stake in honor of Vučić Aleksandar

Just as in 1991, Vojislav Šešelj with a hawthorn stake deceived the public that he was going to exhume Tito from the "House of Flowers", so Aleksandar Šapić is doing it today, only without weapons against vampires. Under Aleksandar Vučić, however, progress was made in the modernization of radical obsenatory enterprises

Felton (4)

I can't live off Jovanka

The sentence "My life was difficult, but I lived it joyfully", which Josip Broz Tito said to Vladimir Velebit, was the reason why Boris Rašeta researched the life of this unique historical figure for ten years, in order to translate it all into a book Tito, confidential and personal parts of which "Vreme" publishes exclusively in this feature

The fate of Tito's legacy

Who will get 11 sacks from safe 555

What is in the safe in which objects from the White House were stored after the death of Josip Broz Tito? Why is its opening 11 years ago controversial? What is the state's response today to the question of what is planned with the mentioned cases? What have the courts decided so far? At what stage is that dispute? What are Karađorđević's claims? Finally, how do the successors of Josip Broz see this decades-long process

"Time" investigates

Secret Safe 555: How many of Tito's valuables were stolen?

"Vreme" brings a great investigation into the saga surrounding Tito's inheritance, stored in the safe of the National Bank. The outcome is awaited by descendants, the state, and the Karađorđević family, which relies on restitution

Dobrica Cosic: The book about Titus

Father of the nation about the greatest son of our people

Already at first glance, the book is full of contradictions, the short sections were obviously written according to the current mood of the author. Perhaps the most valuable thing would have been lost - passion, a certain nervousness, honest self-examination - if it had been edited thematically more logically, with a cool head. I think it's good that she appeared before us as she is

I remember

First session of AVNOJ: The emergence of socialist Yugoslavia from the war of liberation

On this day 80 years ago, on November 26, 1942, the First AVNOJ meeting was held in Bihać, where the foundation stone for the construction of socialist Yugoslavia was laid, and along the way, OZNA and Tanjug were practically founded. In the post-war era, it will fall into the shadow of the Second Session in Jajce, but it is worth remembering what happened then

Side effects

Marshal work

In a democracy, the "lifetime" rule is contraindicated, it is incompatible with it, and there are very good historical reasons for this. Even for Milosevic, who was anything but an exemplary democrat, no one asked for a lifetime mandate

The culture of memory

The last pioneers in SFRY: Initiation before the fire

Reception to the Association of Pioneers of Yugoslavia was like when they collected money for hats and scarves, took us to the ceremonial hall, hung them up for us, the choir sang something, and then they sent everyone to where they thought they belonged: children home, and Titovka, red scarves and Yugoslavia into oblivion, wrote "Vreme" in issue 882

Tito at the United Nations: Guest of Honor and the Birth of the Non-Aligned with Tea on Fifth Avenue

59 years ago, Tito was the guest of honor at the session of the UN General Assembly. However, he entered American soil as the president of the SFRY during an official visit to the USA at the invitation of John F. Kennedy, who sent the presidential helicopter to bring him to the lawn in front of the White House, where he was awaited with all state honors. After that, Tito left Washington for New York. It was no accident at all

I remember

Youth Day: Goodbye Marshal, Goodbye Yugoslavia

I have never been to the Youth Day landing at the stadium. I don't like such spectacles. For me, Tito was by no means Kim Il Sung, but I was annoyed that the landings in SFRY smelled like North Korea. During my military service in 1954, I could thank Youth Day for a month of spared from all boring military activities: in return, by order of the garrison commander, I had to compose a few appropriate sentences in honor of Comrade Tito's birthday. It took me about half an hour

Interview

Dragan Markovina: Croatia received her doctorate on the revision of Yugoslav history

The right-wing in power is bothered by the fact that partisan heritage exists in Croatia at all and would prefer that it not be mentioned at all. For her, any allusion to Croatian participation in Yugoslav communism is an "ideological provocation."

Interview - Milan Predojević, former ambassador of the SFRY to the GDR

The politics of survival

"I would define Serbia's foreign policy today as an attempt to somehow survive. There is no consistency in it. One day you have one brother, the next day you have another brother. The country must have a consistent basic foreign policy."

Culture of memory - Seventy years since the Second Session of AVNOJ

AVNOJ without our days

None of the decisions of the revolutionary assembly of November 29, 1943 are no longer in force. There is no Yugoslavia either. But those flames from the coat of arms first hung in the Sokolski dom in Jajce still shine in the darkness. They shine a light on the people and the time in which peoples who unite everything and share almost nothing, bloodily won the right to exist, dignity and independent decision on their own destiny.

Liberation of Belgrade

Our tragic, glorious and great days

On the night of October 19-20, 1944, partisan Mladen Petrović, while shells and volleys were still being exchanged, unfurled the Yugoslav tricolor with a pentagram on the highest building in the city at the time - the "Albanija" palace. Belgrade was finally free

Exhibitions - Tito's rifles in the Museum May 25

The great hunter of all nations

Some of us, the older ones, remember that comrade Tito was a great hunter. His hunts were filmed first for "Filmske Novosti", and then for television. Newspapers regularly reported on them, especially if the Commander-in-Chief shot a stronger trophy, which happened often. The exhibition at the Museum on May 25 testifies to this with rifles and trophies and certificates and recognitions
