Summary/Abstract: During the 60 years of publication of the journal Vojnoistorijski glasnik it was to be expected that a prominent place in its pages would be granted to the person and the work of the Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito. Tito featured as the author of some contributions, usually aimed at explaining certain tenets of the complicated relations between Yugoslavia and the USSR. Over time Tito became interesting for authors of various fields, mostly from the top brass of the Yugoslav People’s Army and primarily with the aim of glorifying him and portraying him as a symbol of the Yugoslav unity and authentic approach to the development of the armed forces. The end of the Cold War, fall of communism and the break-up of Yugoslavia opened a new chapter in dealing with such a complicated subject as the place and the role of Josip Broz Tito in the more recent Yugoslav history. Thanks to the new researches based on archival sources, the „personality and work" of Josip Broz Tito migrated from journalism and yellow press to pages of several monographs and scholarly journals, among them to the Vojnoistorijski glasnik.
