Revolutionary Terror and Communist Repressions in Yugoslavia in 1941–1946. Outline of the Problem

Summary/Abstract: This article is a scientific study of an issue that is rather little known to the Polish reader. The communist terror and repression in Yugoslavia during World War II were used by Tito’s partisans and later by soldiers and functionaries of the security apparatus of the communist Yugoslav state. In the years 1941–1946 the victims of communist terror were tens of thousands of political and class opponents of the KPJ, actual or merely alleged collaborators of the occupiers, as well as representatives of national minorities. The events described in the article created an extremely complex picture of the reality of the years of war and the first year of communist rule in Yugoslavia, which included: collaboration, ethnic cleansing, communist revolution, civil war and the beginnings of the communist order. The presented article is based on the available literature on the subject: Yugoslav literature, including emigration literature, as well as scientific studies published after 1991 in Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. They have been supplemented with selected items from Western and Polish literature on the subject.
