nostalgia for the communist era

"Former Yugoslavian first lady Jovanka Broz was buried near the grave of her husband, Josip Broz Tito, and was mourned by a throng who remembered Tito’s communist federation as a haven of peace, prosperity and equality more than 20 years after it broke up in bloodshed. While vilified during the nationalist euphoria that followed the breakup, Yugoslavia has since regained popularity. “Today, we don’t just bid farewell to Jovanka Broz, we bid farewell to Tito’s era,” Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic said in a speech. “Today marks the departure of the last icon of the former Yugoslavia.”"
