    Djilas was anti-communist? I thought he was literally one of the top guys in the Yugoslav government.

      He was anti stalin as the Yugoslavs were and he later renounced communism entirely IIRC

      edit: He was one of the leading critics of Stalin leading to the Soviet-Yugo split. Then during the mid 1950s he went full lib and denounced the Yugoslav government as authoritarian. He spent the rest of his life being sent to jail by the Yugoslav government over and over again for publishing books that were against communism.
