Question For Big

I've been doing some reading on Tito recently, and I'm legitimately curious what you think of him (just in general), or what the "Russian" or "Soviet" take was/is on him.

He seems like he was a relatively interesting guy, he himself, and his relationship with the Soviets has been touched on in a few classes I've been in this year, and as I've said I'm just curious on your perspective.

He wasn't praised too much in Soviet Union. He was somewhat pro-Western so he wasn't considered completely loyal to Soviet Union but at the same time he was considered an ally.

Thats pretty much what I figured, I know Stalin hated him, but then Khrushchev kind of reached out to him a little bit, and regarded him as kind of a necessary evil.

But yeah, his relationship with the specific Soviet leaders is something I'll probably continue to read up on.
