just a dash of antisemitism in the op because it is the balkans and it is ironic for a region with a history of pogroms, and not because the op is antisemitic and needs to be rescued from time to time in QCS 🤌

What are you talking about you stupid freak?

Went to Croatia recently and every city I went to had a "Jew Street" that leads to a now mostly empty "Jew Quarter" 🤔

Well yes that’s why the SS told the ustase to tone it down.

Many Nazi collaborating Balkanites also fought for both sides during the Algerian civil war.

Imo balkans > caucasus > baltics

Balkans have the serbs which makes them the best. Caucasuses still stand strong because Armenian food is dope despite being dragged down by the dullard countries that surround them, and the baltics are the bottom because I don't actually know what they contribute to the world outside of hitler memes.

Don't know much about this region. Any book recs are appreciated.

I don't know about pre yugoslavia stuff, but there really isn't much good stuff about yugoslavia and post yugoslavia. Most of the stuff written is by westerners who really didn't like the serbs or just untranslated.

That being said I really enjoyed the following:
Tito and His Comrades - A biography of Tito
To Kill a Nation - Talks about the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.

By request of Azathoth...

You have the main character of CSPAM making a thread and drawing a star of david as a swastika for a region that has nothing to do with Israel, and its most famous association with the Jewish people is genocide.





This is a recurring problem here, and not worth a 7-day probe to point out.

Episodes like this are why people are saying Animeistrash is a racist crybaby and Azathoth is a racist sack of poo poo...

Gas OP & try again

Both flags represent the same thing OP.

The Balkans 1804-2012 by Misha Glenny is pretty good although obviously not just about Yugoslavia.
Black Lamb and Grey Falcon by Rebecca West is a very interesting travelogue of Yugoslavia just before WW2.

Lol that book is on my reading list but the size of it alone is so intimidating.

I really liked Tito and his comrades, although that is more a biography of Tito.
