Who was really Josip Broz TITO?
Who was really the president of last Yugoslavia TITO who was sometimes whorshiped like god by many jugoslavian people and is still whorshiped in this time? I have heard many times by different people that he was changed in time of battles on Balcans in WW2 for some soviet agent ... Some other sorcies write about other stories ... I have also heard that when he came back home from war his relations did not recognized him ... I have heard also that he did not recognize his last coworkers in factory of TITAN wich produces locks ... And so one, and so one ...
Once I read somewhere that some man who knew TITO tald to some other man something like that: "TITO is big secret for yugoslavian people and it is better that it stays so!" Otherwise, his widow Jovanka is still alive, perhaps she would tell something about that ...
What do you think?

I met a man from the former Yugoslavia, just last weekend, who had met Tito once. Tito gave him a school award of somekind in the '60's.

I agree with urqh.
Monty knew Tito personally and was writing about him in the 1960's. He even described Tito as one of the great leaders of the 20th Century. Monty had no reason to lie about Tito's existance and I doubt that he was deceived about his existance.

I was in Yugoslavia when Tito died. The whole country stoped for a couple of days. He was loved by a lot of people. He kept the Russians out and the country together.

Tito's death is actually one of the news events that I recall from my childhood. I was 10 years old, I believe. I don't know why it seemed like such a big deal to a 10 year old American kid but it did.

David;
Well he did the Third Reich some damage and managed to keep Jugoslavia out of Stalin's hands. He also managed to hold the warring tribes of Jugoslavia at peace-through judicious applications of the iron fist of course. In all, I rate his leadership as quite good.

Re: Who was really Josip Broz TITO?
Yougoslavia collapsed after he died. He was the only one who was able to keep the country together. He avoided a lot of ethnic cleansing in 1945 too. Some may however say that his rule swas clumsy and that he favored the Serbs in other Yougoslavian regions and this progressiviely led to a growing desire of independence from the Croates, Slovenes , Bosniacs-Herzegovians and Macedonians. Same thing for Kosovo with the renaming of Pristina into Titograd for example. However the Montenegrians who chose to quit the union in 2006 were traditional allies of the Serbs.

It was Podgorica, capitol of Montenegro, which is renamed Titograd, not Pristina.
