«Большая сделка» Ялтинской конференции и ее осуществление на местах: случай Югославии. Приграничное повстанчество 1945-1948 гг.

Abstract

At the highest level, Yalta's "grand bargain" became a diplomatic form of recognition of the Red Army's combat capabilities, but at the local level, the agreement was far from being observed. The rise of the anti-communist insurgency in post-war Yugoslavia relied, ideologically, and in border areas also financially, on the Anglo-American support. Besides the Serbian Chetniks, other rebel groups actively operated in Yugoslavia in the final months of the war and the first post-war years, including Slovenian units of the “Matthias’s Army”, Croatian Crusaders, Albanian ballists. Josip Broz Tito was no more considered a threat after his split with the USSR in 1948 and the number of rebels started to diminish rapidly. Some “pro-Soviet“ rebellions which occasionally occurred did not receive real support and faded away thus giving Yugoslavia four decades of peace.
