The '''History of the Balkan states''' is a complex affair.  Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the former Yugoslavia, certain historical factual information has come out into the open portraying the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and its leader Josph Broz Tito in a totally different light. His regime now seems to be much more Stalinist [http://books.google.com/books?id=N1j1QdPMockC&pg=PA354&lpg=PA354&dq=Frank+Waddams,+a+British+representative+who+had+lived+outside+of+Belgrade&source=bl&ots=0ogZwcLZau&sig=fTZXy1TLYBQBJnbyYCoeyZ61ABw&hl=en&ei=e13IStXNJZiQ6APPjMXKDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1#v=onepage&q=Frank%20Waddams%2C%20a%20British%20representative%20who%20had%20lived%20outside%20of%20Belgrade&f=false][http://books.google.com/books?id=3WLxbI1EhFAC&pg=PA312&dq=Josip+broz+tito+Cult+of+Personality&lr=#v=onepage&q=Josip%20broz%20tito%20Cult%20of%20Personality&f=false] than the image that was portrayed to the people of Yugoslavia and to the West during the Cold War. Joseph Broz Tito Commander of all Partisans and Communists during WWII oversaw some of the worst war crimes know to mankind. The notorious Bleiburg [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleiburg_massacre] [http://www.ess.uwe.ac.uk/genocide/yugoslav-hist1.htm] [http://www.nytimes.com/1990/07/09/world/evolution-in-europe-piles-of-bones-in-yugoslavia-point-to-partisan-massacres.html?pagewanted=all] and Foibe massacres [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foibe_massacres] [http://miran.pecenik.com/ts/balkan/balkan6.htm] [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6360429.stm] were two of these.

The articles that appear in Wikipedia (as of 2009) do not reflect this modern view of the former Yugoslavia.  They still adhere to and reflect the propaganda of the former '''Communist Party of Yugoslavia''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Yugoslavia]. The article about the Dictator Josip Broz Tito is written in a child-like manner, similar to a Yugoslav primary school textbook from the 1970s. From the late 1960’s to the 1970’s, economic decisions that were made by Josip Broz and the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, put the country in a disastrous political situation. Ironically the article on Tito does not even mention the fact that he was a Dictator [http://newsnbuzz.com/world/inside-titos-luxury-playground.html]or his Cult of Personality [http://books.google.it/books?id=TjOsyebOTS8C&pg=PA152&dq=yugoslavia+tito+cult&lr=&as_brr=3#v=onepage&q=yugoslavia%20tito%20cult&f=false] [http://books.google.com/books?id=AajCaf34k3oC&pg=PA94&dq=yugoslavia+tito+cult&lr=#v=onepage&q=yugoslavia%20tito%20cult&f=false]. None of this information is presented in a professional encyclopedic fashion and when qualified references are presented to prove otherwise, Wikipedia Admin meets it with silence. Why is this the case?
