“Conversations With Stalin” is a quick read.
I read Djilas back on college. I was in a fairly sophisticated anarcho-communist group. After teading i moved closerto Marcism and much
Much further from Stalinism. Not the same thing, as u know. Im enjoying ur substack btw
I remember being informed, indignantly, "back in the day" that Yugoslavia was NOT liberated by the Red Army -- a conversation that pointed intriguingly to Tito.
IIRC, Djilas said that Stalin did become a monster, but only after the war.
Surprising in light of things like the Moscow trials.
