Beschreibung
A memoir by the former vice president of Yugoslavia describing three visits to Moscow and his encounters there with Stalin.

The author details his diplomatic missions to the Soviet Union between 1944 and 1948 as a Partisan general and Yugoslav cabinet minister. Chapters follow negotiations with Soviet officials over military equipment, Red Army conduct in Belgrade, and the political future of the Balkans.

The volume records late-night Kremlin meetings and private dinners at Stalin’s villa alongside Vyacheslav Molotov and Lavrenty Beria. In Moscow, the Yugoslav delegation confronts Soviet demands concerning Albania and Bulgaria on the eve of the 1948 rift.
