Summary/Abstract: After World War II, the Yugoslav Popular Front (PF) developed extensive activity in the rural areas of Yugoslavia, following the line set by the ruling Communist Party (CPY). It was only from 1948/49 that the Party itself emerged from the rear into the front line of the struggle for the “socialist reconstruction of rural areas”. Due to the fact that the issues concerning the policy of the Yugoslav Government toward the peasantry had played an important role in the breakup between Yugoslavia and the USSR (1948), both the PF and the CPY intensiϐied their activities in the rural areas and among the peasantry, in order to disprove the Soviet accusations.
