A guidebook to the wild world of communist minimalism in Tito's YugoslaviaSpomenik8213the Serbo-Croat/Slovenian word for monument8213refers to the memorials built in Tito's Republic of Yugoslavia from the 1960s to the 1980s, marking the horror of the occupation and the defeat of Axis forces during World War II. Hundreds were built across the country, from coastal resorts to remote mountains. Through these imaginative forms of concrete and steel, a classless, forward-looking socialist society, free of ethnic tensions, was envisaged.
