Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the circumstances and course of the visit of Josip Broz Tito to Soviet Union in the end of spring in 1956. His conversations in Moscow ended the process of normalization of mutual relations which was started soon after the death of Stalin. The conversations with Khrushchev showed on one hand the closeness of the points of view of the leaders of both totalitarian regimes and on the other hand they signalized differences in the points of view on the matter of the future form of mutual relations which were difficult to overcome.
