From 1920 Josip Broz Tito was an organizer with the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY). Tito survived Joseph Stalin’s purges to become secretary-general of the CPY in 1939. Following the Soviet seizure of Yugoslavia, with the help of Tito’s Partisans, from its Axis occupiers, Tito consolidated his control over Yugoslavia, becoming its premier in 1945.
