VLADIMIR KOUDELA’S MEMORIES OF GOLI OTOK
Vjenceslav Herout
Abstract
In the past, a lot was written about Cominform and its conflict with the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, because 1948 was a turning point in Yugoslav postwar politics. The politics before and after 1948 were quite different. Probably none of what happened later would have happened if there had not been a change in politics in 1948. Closely related to that change, Goli otok was opened the very next year, where like-minded people, friends, and relatives were stationed. That political battle had to have a winner, and both sides had a chance to win. In case the losing side won, the roles would be reversed. This would mean that in the camps there would be those who, as victors, determined the destinies of the defeated forces. This was later discussed by prisoner Vladimir Koudela, who was a supporter of Cominform politics. However, in the 60s of the last century, it was established that the entire accusation was a fabrication of his former friends and associates.
