I read a New York Times article - Tito On Internet, 'Yearning for Socialism's Good Old Days (http://www.titoville.com/articles/tito-nytimes.html) - today about how citizens from the former Yugoslavia are always e-mailing the guys who run titoville.com (a great site) and addressing them as if they are Tito himself.
These e-mails are archived at http://www.titoville.com/tribune.html and are well worth a read. Some of them provide very interesting insights into post-communist Yugoslavia.
One of the more unsettling ones I read was written in Slovak and said something like "Tito, so much drugs and drugs abuse now... I have nothing to cook... Come back."
(Naturally, you may need to have Google Translate up in another window to read a lot of these)
