==Josip Broz Tito==
   −
The article on Tito in Wikipedia needs more information on the first two decades of Tito's reign. From 1944 onwards his style of government was similar to that of Stalin's. Tito was a member of the '''Soviet Communist Party''' and the notorious Soviet Police-'''NKVD''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NKVD] (this is mentioned only briefly in the Wikipedia article) The NKVD executed the rule of terror and political repression, on a grand scale (NKVD executed tens of thousands of Polish political prisoners in 1939-1941/Katyn massacre [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyń_massacre]). He and his comrades set up KGB style police units (UDBA [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2v4118TV8c] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDBA] & OZNA [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OZNA]) in former Yugoslavia and also ran Partisan Death Squads towards the end of the war.

'''BBC UK/History''' (by Tim Judah):
:Tito's Yugoslavia also gained enormous prestige as a founder of the non-aligned movement, which aimed to find a place in world politics for countries that did not want to stand foursquare behind either of the two superpowers.

Despite all this, and although there was much substance to Tito's Yugoslavia, much was illusion too. The economy was built on the shaky foundations of massive western loans. Even liberal communism had its limits, as did the very nature of the federation. Stirrings of nationalist dissent in Croatia and Kosovo were crushed. The federation worked because in reality the voice of only one man counted - that of Tito himself.

Professor Ivo Goldstein’s[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivo_Goldstein] work  ''above'' proves that Josip Broz, put simply, was a bad economist and the Communists Party members were bad economists too. According to these and other references, this was one of the reasons that contributed to the break-up of Yugoslavia. As this was such an historical event, this information should be in the Wikipedia article in order to make it more encyclopaedic.

Draža Mihailović was one of the organizers the royalist Chetniks in Yugoslavia during WW2. He has been portrait by the Former Yugoslav State (& the Western Allies) as being allied with Germans. The truth is turning to be much more complex (Mihailović was awarded the Legion of Merit [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_of_Merit], based on General Dwight D. Eisenhower[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower] recommendations).
