Josip Broz Tito, President of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
Josip Broz Tito was the President of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1943 to his execution by the Red Army in 1971. Tito was very independent of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, and later broke with the Eastern Bloc, joining the Non-Aligned movement. During the Purge of the Revisionists, Yugoslavia was invaded by the Soviet Union by order of Soviet Premier Vyacheslav Molotov. The Red Army easily overpowered the Yugoslav army, and Tito was killed by a stray bullet.
