FORMER YUGOSLAVIA BETWEEN 1946 AND 1953
The new constitution of Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, fashioned after the Soviet Union, was promulgated on January 31 1946 and it established six People's Republics, an Autonomous Province, and an Autonomous District that were part of SR Serbia. The federal capital was Belgrade. The Republics were : Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Socialist Republic of Croatia, Socialist Republic of Macedonia, Socialist Republic of Montenegro, Socialist Republic of Slovenia and Socialist Republic of Serbia, and the provinces were : Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.[7] The attempted plan in 1947 by Yugoslavia and Bulgaria to form a union of two independent countries was stalled by Stalin. The period of Informbiro ushered in De-Stalinization in Yugoslavia.This period was from 1948-1955.Informbiro is the Yugoslav rendition of Cominform and was characterized by conflict and schism with the Soviet Union. The Tito-Stalin Split which was a conflict between the leaders of Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, resulted in the expulsion of Yugoslavia from the Communist Information Bureau -Cominform, in 1948. It was generally assumed to be caused by Yugoslavia's disloyalty to the USSR and its socialist style domination, but abundant evidence revealed that it had more to do with Josip Broz Tito’s personal ego and what may be termed a ‘gross insurbordination’ to to Joseph Stalin’s will.
