[edit] First winter Olympics in socialist country

How were they the first olympics in a socialist country? Have you not heard of the Moscow olympics?

The same text, regarding Sarajevo being the first and so far only, socialist town to host the Olympic games comes from the official IOC website. This links to the official Olympic Games website were the text is stated. Yugoslavia was a nation that was recognized as more socialistic than communistic. The Soviet Union was regarded as solely communist. Yugoslavia enjoyed much more freedom in trade (economics) than the Soviet Union. Also, there were more human rights in Yugoslavia than in the Soviet Union. For example, the Rolling Stones came to Zagreb, Yugoslavia (now located in Croatia) in 1976. In the Soviet Union some people were blocked from listening to (back then) LP disks. I could continue in the differences between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, but my point is that Yugoslavia was (overall) more on the socialist level, than on the communist when compared with the Soviet Union.

Your remarks have nothing to do if a country is "socialist" or "communist". Yugoslavia was a socialist country, because it was a written in the constriction. Czechoslovakia was also self-defined as "socialist", but according to your parameters it was "communist". It has nothing to do with openness or closeness. Yugoslavia had a communist party, but the state itself was socialist.

Another thing, Yugoslavia wasn't, and its states now are not a part of Easter Europe. Buy a map. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.172.4.250 (talk) 12:47, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Historical context

Should probably be something about Sarajevo Olympics as a landmark in Bosnian history. AnonMoos (talk) 04:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
