Yup. 2 or 3 of the stones have concrete bases to stop them falling over, that's about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) An unusual sounding theory I became aware of about 20 years back by spending way too much time around various nutters from the former Yugoslavia is that the real Josip Broz Tito was swapped for a non-Yugoslav by the Comintern some time in the 1930s and was actually probably Polish at least in the version I was told. There are other variations on the theme apparently: https://euobserver.com/news/29817 This was all based on him having had a very strange accent when speaking Serbo-Croat. Always had that filed under aye right because if Stalin had known what the Comintern had been up to on that why would he not have made it public when they had their big falling out in the late 1940s but I read recently that CIA linguistics experts looked into it in the 1970s and concluded that it was probably true: https://www.nsa.gov/portals/75/documents/news-features/declassified-documents/cryptologic-spectrum/is_yugoslav.pdf ...On the other hand, the simple fact that Tito is probably not the real Josip Broz who was born in 1892 does have some real significance. Firstly, Tito may very well be a much younger man. A second, and perhaps more important, point is that Tito's non-Yugoslav origin may explain his impartiality, and consequent success, in dealing with the various ethnic groups in Yugoslavia. It remains to be seen whether those who follow him will enjoy the same success. The more mainstream explanation would be that he picked up the strange accent through being a POW in Russia during WWI and eventually even getting married to a Russian.

I'd say renovation is a pretty good word for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the Polish tale from a Macedonian. My own theory is that he was a Turra fermer called Joe Bruce, hence the strange accent.
