This walking tour discovers Ljubljana through the unusual relationship between the Communist past and Capitalist present, analysing the influence of Josip Broz Tito, Socialist Yugoslavia and workers’ self-management on today’s life in independent Slovenia. It showcases amazing examples of Yugo-nostalgia, brutalist architecture, communist monuments, cult of personality, art censorship and a secret police jail.
