The article reveals the background and determination of the Yugoslav-Soviet relations improvement in the beginning of the 1970-ties. The postive attitude towards Yugoslavia was the part of the ambitions of the Soviet officials in their new international policy strategy towards the United States. It was formulated as the Program for the Peace at the 24th Congress of the Soviet Communist Party in 1971. This improvement in Soviet-Yugoslav relations was enabled with the close similarity of the both foreign policies at the time. The Soviet wish to establish the closer relations with the Non-alligned movement where Yugoslavia had the leading role, also helped the improvement. Tito’s positive attitude towards president Brezhnyev policy of detante was welcomed in Moscow. Beside this process, the Yugoslav leadership never stopped to have suspicious on the final Soviet aims to include the Yugoslavia in the Eastern bloc and to discipline its leadership.
