    Interesting. They still used clones of Russian weaponry though. Yugoslavian SKS rifles were made in the Russian caliber, 7.62x39.

    IIRC, the Czechs wanted to go their own way there but couldn’t.

    Politically independent, yes. Economically, not so much - if at any point after 1956 Yugoslavia was offered a choice between unfettered trade with either NATO aligned countries or the Warsaw Pact, Tito would have chosen the Warsaw Pact.

    Russia and Soviet Union can be used interchangable. It was Russia, the other, so called socialist republics were their slave regions, I would not even called them states. Now, countries like East Germany, Poland, Czekoslovakia or Hungary, were their vasal states, had their own central governments and armies, but also communist parties that oversaw that anything they did internally weren't too far off from the Moscow's established course.

    Some of their independence was allowed by Russia because they were ideologically communist. They went their own communist way before the Warsaw pact was created.

    I am certain if they had ever applied for NATO membership, Moscow would have intervened. They were in a difficult terrain of Balkan region but still, the tanks with the red star would have rolled in.
