STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF PUNISHED “COMINFORMERS”: NATIONALITY, LENGTH OF SENTENCE, AGE, GENDER STRUCTURE, RELATIVES, RETURNEES.

Summary/Abstract: The collective demographic portrait of those convicted for sympathies towards the USSR in communist Yugoslavia after 1948 is determined in the article, based on the “List of convicts under the IB-accusion”. The sketch of statistics that we drew from this list gives us a limited number of possibilities because it was only an “operationally useful” list created by revising and shortening previous versions. Thus on the basis of this document, we can conclude that the arrested were relatively young people (20-30 years old), among whom Serbs and Montenegrins dominated numerically, many of whom participated in the Partisan Movement. These statistics support the already widespread scientific hypothesis that the conflict was not an ideological dispute, but was related to the determination of Yugoslavia’s affiliation to the East or the West. The number of Serbs, Bulgarians, Russians and Montenegrins convicted for sympathizing with the USSR was disproportionately higher than the percentage representation of those peoples in the population of Yugoslavia. At that time, the mountaines of Montenegro hid the most ardent supporters of the Soviet Union.
