The article needs more information on the first two decades of Tito's reign. From 1943/44 onwards his style of leadership 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]). Tito and his comrades set up KGB/NKVD style police units (UDBA & OZNA) in former Yugoslavia and also ran Partisan Death Squad [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1160708/300-victims-Yugoslavias-communist-regime-mass-grave.html] [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=hr&u=http://www.mojevijesti.ba/novost/15435/na-otoku-daksi-ekshumirano-48-zrtava-komunizma&ei=Uh3cSrTJB4Xs6AOgvvmYBg&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&ved=0CAgQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3DDubrovnika,%2Bna%2Bstrati%25C5%25A1tu%2B%25C5%25BErtava%2Bkomunizma%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den-us] towards the end of Word War Two'' (scroll to:Visit Vraninama...''[http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=hr&u=http://www.radio-m.hr/&ei=FhjcSqC2KaXm6gPdyvSZBg&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=2&ct=result&ved=0CBAQ7gEwAQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dradio%2Bm%2BPOSJET%2BVRANINAMA%2BI%2B%25C5%25A0IBALOVIM%2BNOGAMA%2BU%2B%2Borganizaciji%2Budruga%2BHrvatski%2BDomobran%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den-us]).

"''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."''

'''Harry Truman''' (the President of USA) stated on the 23th of April in 1948, in a speech:
