Socialist Yugoslavia saw some political imprisonments, mostly immediately after the war as Tito tried to limit Stalin’s influence in the country. But there was never collectivization leading to famine, never killings on a massive scale. The genocide in the region was only unleashed after the end of the socialist era. And before you want to rant about crushing poverty: Yugoslavs in the 1960s and 1970s lived well enough on average that they were conspicuous among tourists on the Istanbul-Kathmandu trail and Indonesia, and many international brands were sold in Yugoslavia just like in any Western European country.
