Милован Ђилас и мађарска криза 1956. године
MILOVAN DJILAS AND THE 1956 HUNGARIAN CRISIS

Summary/Abstract: In November 1956, after the Soviet military intervention in Hungary, the American weekly The New Leader published an article by Milovan Djilas, The Storm in Eastern Europe, in which the former top-ranking Yugoslav official sharply criticized Soviet and Yugoslav policies towards Hungary. At the time Djilas was already under a suspended sentence for public statements against the Yugoslav regime; as a result of additional public denunciation of Yugoslav policies, or, as termed by the prosecution, “enemy propaganda”, Djilas was immediately arrested and, after a new trial, sentenced to prison. Thus, one of the most noted communist dissidents began his nine-year sojourn behind the bars of the political system he had fought for.
