Abstract
The author analyzes the political literature that the members of the Young Comunist League of Yugoslavia living on the territory of the People's Republic of Croatia read in the first years of founding the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. The paper analyzes the period until the end of 1948, when the conflict between the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics broke out, due to which the process of de-Stalinization in Yugoslavia began. Using the reports in which the leaders of the Young Comunist League of Yugoslavia stated what they had read from the Marxist literature, the author uses a quantitative method to detect several most widely read works which are then analyzed separately. Applying the concepts of narratology in historiography the author tries to highlight in the analyzed works some of the strategies of dissemination of the ruling ideology, and in this way providing an additional insight into the topic of the political education in Yugoslavia.
