Vojo Rajčević
Abstract
The author, in this article, points out some of the most important factors of the activity of Josip Broz Tito in the reorganization of the Young Communists' Association of Yugoslavia (SKOJ) in the year 1937.
One of Tito's more important first steps after his return to the country in the autumn of 1936, when he took over the function of organizational secretary of the Yugoslavian Communist Party (KPJ), was the renewal of activity within the revolutionary youth movement in Yugoslavia. Conditions in SKOJ were extremely difficult owing to undefined views among the leaders of KPJ concerning work with the youth organization in question, which should have been one of its strongest political levers. All this brought about the dissolution of SKOJ organizations which naturally hit the further work of this organization very hard.
With Tito's arrival in the country SKOJ revived her work. The author has described particular actions undertaken by Tito in this direction, the most important of which was the formation of the Central Youth Commision, i. e. the leadership of SKOJ. Of special significance in this regard was Tito's formulation of basic programs for the further political activity of SKOJ. In his action of the reorganization of SKOJ Tito devised guidelines for the future work of young people in such a way that he coordinated their activity with the struggle for the creation of a united working class, and for the gathering of all democratic forces in the broad movement of the National Front.
