Obustavljanje antijugoslovenske propagande u susednim „informbiroovskim“ zemljama 1953-1954. godine
The End of the Anti-Yugoslav Propaganda in the Neighboring „Inform-Bureau“ Countries 1953-1954

Summary/Abstract: The cessation of the anti-Y ugoslav propaganda that was a serious obstacle in the relations between Yugoslavia and the USSR and countries of „people’ s democracy“ in general, and particularly in the relations with those neighboring countries that had been, due to their geographical proximity , the main exponents of the years long propaganda in the press, radio, fl iers, brochures, books and other means, was one of the palpable results of the normalization of mutual relations during 1953 and 1954. The inherent logic of its gradual disappearance were easily detectable as they were also in other fi elds of inter-state relations because the crucial moves that ushered into new phases of toning down of the anti-Y ugoslav propaganda always came from the Kremlin. Without them, independent decisions of Budapest, Bucharest, Sofi a or Tirana were not to be expected, particularly since in some of these countries no political will for them existed. The Cessation of defamatory writing and speaking about Yugoslavia during 1953 and 1954 was another necessary element for the creation of an atmosphere in which one could talk about real problems and moot questions in the relations between Yugoslavia and these group of neighboring countries.
