Blood Knows No Borders
This article explores the development of the Yugoslav blood transfusion system and practices, analysing them from their beginnings in the 1920s to the end of Yugoslavia. It shows that Yugoslav doctors experimented with blood transfusion almost as early as their international colleagues. Nevertheless, it took a massive effort by the post-war Yugoslav communists to develop the infrastructure, workforce, blood production system and modern practices …

Prostitution in socialist Yugoslavia
This article explores how Yugoslav communists formulated their ideas about prostitution, and how these ideas informed their approach towards sex workers. Yugoslav communists’ attitudes towards prostitution were a complex combination of Stalinist gender policies, the Partisan experience of the Second World War, and attempts to find a Yugoslav path following conflict with the Soviet Union. The first postwar Yugoslav laws closely resembled Soviet mo…

Building Socialism in the Countryside
This article examines the extent to which collectivization changed gender relations in the Yugoslav countryside. I argue that gender played a significant role in the formulation and implementation of the Yugoslav collectivization process, as the Communist Party developed policies that targeted peasant women and existing gender relations. By imitating the Soviet model of kolkhoz and the positive image of kolkhoznitsa, the party aimed to use collec…
Gender Policies and Amateur Sports in Early Yugoslav Socialism
This article examines particularities of the communist gender policies towards sportswomen and men in early Yugoslav socialism. By situating Yugoslav gender history of sport in transnational perspective, it points to Soviet influences on the formation of sport policies in the early Yugoslav socialism. The article sheds a new light on how gender policies towards sports were articulated, and domesticated in Yugoslav practice. By paying close attent…
