Summary/Abstract: The articles presents and discusses the project jointly realized by Russian and Serbian historians, whose main result will be a two-volumes publication of the records of high-level Soviet–Yugoslav talks since 1946 until the death of Iosip Broz Tito in 1980. Besides the records of these talks, other important documents concerning the bilateral and the East–West relationships are included. The first volume covering the period 1946–1964, until the peaceful removal from power of Khrushchev, was published in 2014 both in Russian and Serbian. The talks records and other documents allow us to understand the utmost importance both Soviet and Yugoslav leaders attached to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. This event was a constant subject of bilateral talks until 1962. The collection of documents presented below places the Soviet–Yugoslavian dialogue in the international context of the Hungarian Revolution, and it also reflects the evolution of the Soviet–Yugoslavian dispute concerning key issues such as the results of the Brioni Tito–Khruschev meeting in early November 1956, the fate of the Imre Nagy group, as well as the effects of Tito’s programmatic speech delivered at Pula not only for the Soviet–Yugoslavian relations, but also for the post-revolutionary political consolidation in Hungary.
