Titoism and Totalitarianism was a political system (single-party state) that was part of the former Yugoslavia.[1][2][3] A single party, the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and its leader Josip Broz Tito, ruled the country.[4][5] The regime relaxed its power from the 1960s onwards. Josip Broz Tito was a member of the Soviet Police-NKVD and the Soviet Communist Party. The NKVD executed the rule of terror and political repression in and out of the Soviet Union.[6] Tito and his comrades set up KGB/NKVD style police units in the former Yugoslavia (UDBA and OZNA). These organisations conducted political repression [7] on grand scale. [8]
