Abstract

The Yugoslav exhibition of consumer goods in Moscow
was the fi rst of its kind organized by Yugoslavia in a communist
country. It opened its door to the public on May 25, 1960, amidst
the super-heated international political environment aft er the
American U-2 spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union.
Following the colossal propaganda success of the 1959 U.S. National Exhibition in Moscow, the Yugoslavs managed to deliver yet another propaganda blow to the Soviet prestige, showcasing that even
socialism outside the Soviet bloc and in close collaboration with
the United States was not only possible but also better.
