@kenshirriff@KanaMauna Yeah but Yugoslavia split with the USSR in 1948, there's no time during the space race when it would have been considered an ideological ally
@PavelASamsonov@kenshirriff@KanaMauna
They somewhat reconciled under Khruschev (see the Belgrade declaration of 1955). The Hungarian revolution soured the things, but probably Yugoslavia was still a better bet than China or NK (due to the fresh Sino-Soviet split)
