Ne staljinizmu

The historical and journalistic study Ne staljinizmu ("No to Stalinism"), authored by Zvonko Štaubringer and published in 1980, examines a pivotal moment in the modern history of Yugoslavia: the 1948 conflict with the Cominform and the subsequent rejection of the Stalinist model of the state and the Party. Written in the year of Tito’s death, the book carries added weight as it revisits the foundations of Yugoslav independence and sovereignty, as well as the right of every nation to choose its own path of development. Drawing on documentary material, speeches, and political analyses, Štaubringer reconstructs the dramatic months and years during which Yugoslavia—led by Josip Broz Tito—resisted Stalin’s hegemonic pressures, economic blockades, and threats. The author details how this resistance led to the creation of a distinct Yugoslav model characterized by workers' self-management, non-alignment, and an open society—developments that permanently altered the geopolitical map of Europe. The book serves as an important historical testament and a valuable resource for understanding the anti-Stalinist struggle, ideological emancipation, and the defense of freedom and autonomy in post-war Yugoslavia.
