Sažetak

As two countries that adopted the Communist ways, Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, collaborated closely until 1948 when a conflict occurred between the two countries’ leaders. The idyllic relations that were in power up to that fateful year never repeated themselves in spite of conciliation and a reestablishment of economic collaboration. The Soviets were exalted in the period from 1945 until 1948 and there was a tendency to show loyalty and respect for the brotherly Soviet Union in every aspect (art, culture, everyday life, propaganda…). The aforementioned conflict introduced a change in the relations of the two countries and the Soviets were no longer idealised, they even became the enemy that wanted domination over the Balkans. The first part of the article is dedicated to the historical and political context as well as the development of Yugoslavia’s and the USSR’s relations. The second part brings forth an overview of the relationship between Yugoslavia and the USSR in the spheres of art, literature and culture before and after 1948. The final part of the article is dedicated to researching Yugoslavian representations of the USSR in the magazines “Republika” and “Kulturni radnik” in the period from 1945 until 1972. The article shows the change in the image of the Soviets in Yugoslavia caused by political events in the given period.
