Hi all,

I need help tracking down a town name. My great grandfather was born in Lovinse, Yugoslavia according to his draft card (or at least that’s how it appears to be written— the actual handwriting is difficult to read) in the early 1900s. I asked my grandma about it over the weekend and she was unable to confirm the town name but said he and great grandma were Croatian and mentioned Zagreb. She did also pronounce the town name in question for me but I don’t exactly remember the exact pronounciation.

I hope this is okay to post here. Grateful for any assistance you can provide.

So I was doing some research on the Yugoslav self-management system, and this paper references a "Law on Associated Labor" passed in 1976 that apparently codified and clarified some aspects of the self-management system as defined in the 1974 Constitution. I would love to learn more, but I can't seem to find the text of this law anywhere. Could anyone point me to where I can find that? It's fine if it's in Serbian, Croatian, or another language.

Pade mrak, a niko na ovom sabu da se seti da čestita Dan ujedinjenja, dan kada je pre 106 godina stvorena zajednička nam država. Međutim, niko od vas nije zaboravio na Dan republike, jedan par excellence ideološki praznik kojim su komunisti zamenili Dan ujedinjenja.

Da ne bude da je ovaj praznik prošao nezapaženo – srećan nam svima Dan ujedinjenja! – dan kada je naš Viteški Kralj Ujedinitelj, najveći sin Jugoslavije, naš Kralj Mučenik koji je glavu dao za našu milu Jugoslaviju, proglasio ujedinjenje svih jugoslovenskih naroda u jedinstvenu jugoslovensku državu!

I’m writing this as an American who has seen my country grow increasingly divided throughout my lifetime across race, wealth, and political lines and as someone who’s interested in the history of Yugoslavia, i’m curious as to what methods Tito used during his reign to prevent ethnic tension in the country and create a united national identity. Based on how fast Yugoslavia fell apart following his death it seems like a miracle he was able to maintain order in the country for as long as he did.

I have been trying to find a footage a saw a long time ago of socialist Yugoslavia and what I think it was Tito. I remeber there was a platform where there was a series of what I suppose were members of the government and in front of them an altar where you can see the coat of arms of Yugoslavia, where what I supposed was Tito giving a speech. In the background I don't remember well but perhaps it was some train tracks with wagons (?). In another shot you can see Tito next to some women in traditional local dresses. The footage is in color. Thanks in advance.

Samo da se podsetimo mi koji smo bili pioniri!

Bear with me (I’m sorry). My 5yo daughter has gotten obsessed with the fact that this bear doesn’t have a mom. Context: he did, and she knows I “left her behind” when we left in the 90s. Maybe this was a common toy that someone else had or has seen before? It was my favourite teddy bear growing up and the only one I still have from early childhood. She really wants us to get a big blue bear to be his mom now (over 3 decades later) but she also said “can you ask the world to find the real mom?” so obviously Reddit = the world. Thanks for reading this silly thing! Ps - he was muuuuch more blue before I carried him around everywhere and mangled him.

I am not all that knowledgeable of Yugoslavia, but I was curious about documentaries about Yugoslavia from before 1992, any covering Yugoslav life, culture, economy, basically anything except "why did Yugoslavia fall" which is basically all documentaries I am able to find, and have already seen quite a few of.

If anyone here has any recommendations, please let me know. I'd be more than happy to see local and international documentaries on the matter.

Hello,

Not sure if this is allowed or anything, just have hit a dead end and looking for some help. Figured the subreddit for Yugoslavia would be the best place to ask.

I'm trying to locate my wife's late grandmother's place of birth so I can try to find a gift for her from that region. She was very close to her and lost her about 10 years ago and regrets not asking more about her home country. The only information I have is from her birth records that says Krizah No 7, I do know that she was from Yugoslavia, and came to America in the 50s from Austria after moving there during WW2. The Ellis Island records just say statel. I've tried googling, and research online but I haven't been able to find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated TIA

Friends I spent hours to translate this amazing book about the Yugoslav self-governing socialism written by the one and only OG Edvard Kardelj, if you're interested in downloading the copy for free the link is below. It also contains the original Serbo-Croatian version.

Is that the reason why people had it good during his time? Because they were living on borrowed money?

And they didn’t have to pay interest thanks to him, as he was famous and respected.

As soon as he died, other countries started demanding the debts be paid back. Were these debts a consequence of WWII?

Recently read this book about something I experienced but never had any information on.

Apparently this flight took out a load of people from Sarajevo in 91/92

Was anyone else evacuated on this plane?

This is a book that I wrote. It's a conspiracy thriller but happening in an alternative Europe. In this Europe, Yugoslavia successfully managed to survive the 1990s and join the EU (albeit by losing it's Non-Aligned status). A pilot working for JAT starts to suspect that an accidental death of his friend, an Air Force commander, hides something much deeper.

The cover of the book

I have to admit that finding a plausible scenario in which Yugoslavia survives the 1989-92 was tricky. I researched a lot about what Ante Markovic had in mind for the political restructuring (not only the economic one), the civic alternatives to the nationalist parties that existed and so on.

The book is available on Amazon (paperback & ebook), Kobo, Google Books and Apple Books.

Just by chance, has somebody read it, perhaps?

(I don't see any non-selfpromo rules in this subreddit, so that's why I'm sharing it. )

Zdravo, u sramu, pokoru, bedi, braća smo, braća!
