Summary/Abstract: Yugoslav identity and the idea of brotherhood and unity of Yugoslav nations and nationalities were based on patriarchal authority of Josip Broz Tito. According to Boris Buden, the idea of Tito as a father of a family, which was widespread in the period Yugoslav socialism, was a fundamental characteristic of ideology of Titoism. For this reason, Tito’s role in the Yugoslav socialism is often interpreted in a totalitarian context which is characterized by a strong cult of personality and by a transfer of private, familial relations onto broader social relations and the public sphere.
