Double tap to edit Josip Broz Tito, exasperated by Stalin’s repeated attempts to assassinate him, sent a bold and defiant message: “Stop sending people to kill me. We’ve already captured five of them—one with a bomb and another with a rifle. If you don’t stop sending assassins, I’ll send one to Moscow, and I won’t need to send a second.” The threat was so direct and chilling that Stalin never attempted another assassination. Remarkably, Stalin kept Tito’s letter in his office until the end of his life, a testament to the Yugoslav leader’s audacity and determination.
