...word was coined for this kind of view: Titoism. Tito has once met Gomulka, who made "a very favorable impression. He is a worker, rather modest and reticent."

...reeled under the mob's hostility, Gomulka quickly began to consolidate his new position. Though he did not yet dare to dismiss Rokossovsky from his other post as Defense Minister, Gomulka installed as Deputy Defense Minister General Marian Spychalski, who in 1951 was jailed along with Gomulka for Titoism...
