...articles had earlier appeared in Western journals, including the New York Times and the New Leader. In an essay on Russian Novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Mihajlov noted that the true artist "really endangers the dictatorship of the Soviet Communist Party." In another work, he accused Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito of permitting a "cult of personality" and denounced the Yugoslav "party oligarchy" for attempting "to reintroduce total dictatorship in all vital spheres...
...explanation, despite Stonehouse's prowess as a swimmer. But in the weeks since his disappearance, assorted rumors have turned the case into a riveting political whodunit. Some have claimed that Stonehouse was a secret CIA agent; others have suggested Mafia connections. Last week a Czech spy defector named Josip Frolik, who now lives in the U.S. under an assumed name, said that Stonehouse-who was widely known to be a rabid anti-Communist-was in fact a fellow secret agent. In the House of Commons, Prime Minister Harold Wilson angrily denied the charge...

Now, with Athens out of NATO, such a strategy becomes much more difficult...
...Russia all took an interest in Yugoslavia's mineral resources and in transporting goods along the Danube River. But after the Second World War the Soviet Union achieved a position of dominance, largely because of the assistance and inspiration it had lent to the Yugoslav Partisans--commanded by Josip Tito, a Croatian Communist--who led the only active resistance to the Nazis. The United States and the other western powers seemed prepared to accept Soviet domination of Yugoslavia, and the Russians considered it part of their East European sphere of influence.
