Abstract: At the start of the 1950s, French socialists, like other socialist and social democratic parties in Europe, entered into relations with the Communists in Yugoslavia, despite the distance separating them politically. They opened an amazing doctrinal dialog and observed with great interest the experience of worker self-management undertaken by Tito. Belonging to the French Section of the Workers? International (SFIO), these socialists did not have an innovative approach to economic and social issues; but they turned out to be effective, precocious makers of a myth about Yugoslavia in France. Paradoxically, they took part in adapting the ideas on self-management that, relayed by the events of May 1968, were used to dismiss the traditional parliamentary socialism that these socialists represented in the eyes of the ?new left?. Archives and printed sources are used to reconstitute this little known episode of the Cold War.
