The article about the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josip_Broz_Tito 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 (none of this is mentioned).
