Re: Slavko Golstein. He was used as proof by the government of Banjo Tudjman that its regime was not anti-semitic as Golstein was one of the few jews who didn't leave and didn't call the government anti-semitic, despite Banjo's famous remarks. Norman Stone, the Oxford(?) historian and Croatian propagana proxy wrote a piece in the Times Literary Supplement (1993/4?) to push the Croatian government's line.

This historian pretended that he knew serbo-croat but relied entirely on translations handed to him. His greed in trying to make a name for himself as a 'Balkan expert' was his undoing. Unfortunately, people like Noel Malcolm and Mark(?) Almond (i.e. not 'Tainted Love' but School for Eastern European Studies (?)) are still there.
