Abstract

Ten years after Stalin’s death, the communist system, from monolithic would be improperly fragmented, and the former single block would be turned into ground fighting for ideological and political supremacy. The differences between the communist countries and their parties would not be surpassed, because everyone himself was considered a Marxist-Leninist. During all the years of Stalin's rule, there would be only one divergence. Tito decided to oppose the Soviet Union and Stalin, and he would never regret about it. Moscow and Belgrade would reach reconciliation even after Stalin's death in the 1955-1956. In 1956 it came to the development of separate national communism which would be stopped in Poland by the USSR, and in Hungary would be suppressed by force. But that would not mean total halt of the tendencies of liberalization and insistence on the right to autonomy. At the meetings of the world communist movement, which were held in 1957 and 1960, it was adopted a resolution that confirmed the principles of equality, respect for territorial integrity, national independence and non-interference in the internal affairs of other states. But these decisions would not be reality, considering the inequality of power in the communist tabor and the fact that in the past no such principle was respected. The successors of Stalin this decision would not accept and respect, but they would not have his authority which would impose worship and respect of millions of revolutionaries outside the borders of the USSR.
