Josip Broz Tito (Žika Vučić for Tanjug, file)
BELGRADE -- Josip Broz Tito was "not of Yugoslav origin," a recently declassified document published on the CIA website has asserted.
The U.S. intelligence agency said that a phonetic analysis of his speech suggested this conclusion.
Broz - who came to power in the post-WW2, single-party communist Yugoslavia, and remained president until his death in 1980 - was officially of mixed Croat-Slovenian heritage.
But the paper says that the manner in which he spoke "Serbo-Croatian" - allegedly his mother tongue, but spoken with a foreign accent - meant that his true native language, "or at least one closer to him than Serbo-Croatian," was either Russian or Polish.
The authors of the lengthy analysis conclude that it would be "logical to assume" that the controversial leader was either Russian or Polish, but stress that his true identity can only be hypothesized - but that it "certainly was not Yugoslav."
They went on to assert that his non-Yugoslav origins were the reason for his "impartiality and success in solving the various problems and conflicts of ethnic groups in Yugoslavia."
The speech that was analyzed dates back to 1977, Belgrade-based Politika and Mondo media outlets are quoting the document on Monday, adding that "any further investigation of Tito's true identity would only serve academic purposes."

In his day, Tito was a giant. A partisan fighter in WWII, he stared down the Soviet Union and the US.
And the conglomerate known as Yugoslavia had years of “relative” peace because of him.
At the price of forceful ethnic suppression.
When Tito died, all hell broke loose!
One powerful guy.
One more note: he holds his smoke like an arrogant European. They all do that.
So what? We’ve got over 310 million citizens, yet we’re ruled by a kenyan commie.
And in other reporting “Is American President Barack Obama really American”?
I think the “I” in CIA is supposed to stand for “idiot”.
Au contraire...Tito was a corrupt monster...had the greatest hero of the 20th century executed.
Tito was Croatian with kaikawian accent. If any of you hear this accent will know why he spoke like he spoke and why he hide his accent. Anyways Tito’s original accent sound more like mix of russian and polish when he tried to talk serbo-croatian.
If there is and proffesional linquist will u derstund what I am talkin about. Check the accent and ancient words of burgenland croatian around Austrien city Gratz.
If in any case Tito’s mother was from island in mid of Dalmatia and not from Zagorje in Croatia, he will sound as Italian double agent. Josip Broz Tito was what he was and for better propaganda and well being of comunnism regime he tried to talk short because east Yugoslaw ethnics doesnt prefer in that time to hear native kaikawian or ssamples of Deutch accent in “marshal’s” speach. So it was better that kaikawian grammar and accent were blended with his knowledge of russian into “his” serbo-croatian.
Btw, You must watch Gruntovchani series to realy understund how sound kaikawian accent and question yourself does anyone not close to this croatian accent realy catch any sentence
