My father lived under Franco's Spain in the early 70s since Yugoslav communists forced you to study abroad for a year
Franco was not a good man
Worse than Tito?
In the Yugoslavian University System...for whatever reason you had to spend a year abroad in both Spain and the USSR. Franco's Spain was a disaster but my dad would always saw the USSR wouldn't last based on his experiences. Even in the 70s it was a dump with issues the Western world couldn't comprehend
Tito's Yugoslavia was a promised Land in comparison
