Clearing the Way. Long before Tito and his Junoesque wife arrived at the Bois de Boulogne Station in their special blue and silver armor-plated train, all known anti-Titoist refugees in Paris were placed under surveillance. The most ardent of them were rounded up, along with a motley crew of anarchists, royalists, diehard Yugoslav Catholics and Cominform Communists, and shipped off to Corsica for a week's vacation-food, wine and sightseeing-at France's expense. A small army of about 15,000 police, plainclothesmen, helmeted Gardes Republicaines and firemen were deployed over Paris to help keep...

This suggested that a whole series of "Titoist" purges in the satellite countries (e.g., Poland's Wladyslaw Gomulka, Hungary's Laszlo Rajk, Rumania's Ana Pauker, Albania's Koci Xoxe) might be reopened.
