Jugoslávci a jugoslávství v letech 1966–1971. Mezi politickými doktrínami a národním cítěním

Between the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s the nationality question was opened up again in socialist Yugoslavia. One of the issues discussed among the political elite of that period was how to approach to ethnic Yugoslavism. For the most part, the Yugoslav communist elite approached ethnic Yugoslavism, an identity that some of the country’s social groups spontaneously professed, for the most part negatively. They evaluated it as an attempt at revivifying the interwar Yugoslav unitarism or as a ruse behind which was hidden Great Serbian chauvinism. The communist leadership was at most willing to tolerate Yugoslavism as an ideological construct that expressed citizens’ positive attitude towards the functioning of their shared Yugoslav state.
