Abstract
Edvard Kardel was the the most import ideologue of Tito’s regime. His attitude towards Soviet Union was biased by his personal experience of Stalin’s terror inthirties. At that time young Kardel studied in Moscow, where he become the witness of the liquidation of the large Yugoslav political diaspora. This experience did not shake his belief in Marxism, although inspired him the idea that it should be realized in Yugoslavia in a more human way. After the split between Stalin and Tito in 1948, Kardelj was able to start developping his «socialism with human face» and his doctrine of self-management, based not just on Marxism but on the traditions of the French utopian socialists too. His main point was the belief that the CPSU has degenerated into a bureaucratic caste, which usurped power in the name of the working class. This polemical attitude provoked in Moscow a critic of the Yugoslav «revisionism», that lasted till Kardelj’s and Tito’s death.
