摘要：The subject of this article are the events which took place in Yugoslavia in the 1970s, viewed primarily in terms of the scope and character of Montenegro’s part in the process. It aims to point out some elements and moments as may help clarify, first, why that particular decade (1960-1970) is considered especially important in the history of the Yugoslav “socialist experiment” and why it is justified to refer to it as some sort of its “spring”; second, in what way – i.e., through what ideas and political activities – Montenegro participated therein; and, third, whether there is any substance to the assumption that the “communist discourse” of the time may have caused the events in the Montenegrin society and state to take the course which, several decades later, would bring forth a new “breath of spring”.
