Featured Article: Milovan Djilas
Milovan Djilas or Đilas (June 4, 1911 – April 20, 1995) was a Montenegrin Serb, Communist politician, theorist, and author in Yugoslavia. He was a key figure in the Partisan movement during the World War II as well as in the post war government. His book, The New Class was a devastating critique of Soviet-style communist bureaucracies which claimed to have created a classless society but had merely replaced the bureaucrats of the old system with those of the communist system. Djulas was widely hailed in the West for his sober analysis of the ideological failings of the communist system.

They were mainly led by Beijing students and intellectuals. The protests occurred in a year that saw the collapse of a number of communist governments around the world.
