How quick they forget the enslavement, and the iron fist of the Soviet Union.
if they are unveiling Tsar Nicky, they aren’t celebrating the Communist angle of the relationship.
They actually weren't enslaved by the Soviet Union. Yugoslavia essentially liberated itself and Tito chased the Red Army out of Yugoslavia. It's ironic that they're welcoming the Russians now as liberators -- that wasn't how the Yugoslavs ever saw the Russians.
Yugoslavia was never subservient to the USSR. They were not a member of the Warsaw Pact, and were not occupied by the Soviets. Russia went to war with the Central Powers in WWI on behalf of Serbia (which is why the statue of Tsar Nicholas II). And when Clinton launched an illegal war to steal Kosovo and give it to Muslim terrorists, Russia stood by them. That’s what they remember.
