The Role and the Activity of the Soviet Military Mission in Yugoslavia. Fall-Winter 1944

Summary/Abstract: The relations between USSR and the People's Liberation Movement attracted attention of historians during the Communist Yugoslavia's existence although the subject was thoroughly dealt with only in Nikola B. Popovic-s book. The mission was jointly prepared by diplomatic, military security and security services of USSR. The chief of the mission General Konyev was a highly educated military intelligence officer, as were most of other members of the mission. After the arrival of Konyev's mission to Bari, Soviet officers and radio-operators spread throughout the Balkans. According to the history of the radio-service RU RKKA, due to Kornyev's mission's arrival a network of radio-stations sprang up in South-East Europe comprising 14 points and the main station ,,Purga-l". The role of the Soviet mission was also important in saving Tito during the German operation ,,R6sselsprung". Tito was afterwards forwarded from the isle of Vis to Moscow where he had the chance to meet Stalin. After that, Tito returned to Craiova, where he was again surrounded by the members of the Soviet military mission. After Belgrade had been liberated from Germans, Tito and the Soviet military mission arrived in Belgrade. The radio-station of the Soviet mission in Yugoslavia, ,,Alfa", went on air there again, and eventually became the radio-station of the Soviet embassy in Yugoslavia.
