{{quote|''"A locksmith in his youth. An Austro-Hungarian corporal. A case hardened revolutionary. Commissioner of the Comintern. A terrorist. Red menace. A robber. An illegal with ten different passports and names. A passionate hunter. Bon vivant. He had five wives and a party of his believers. An indomitable partisan. Undefeated by Hitler and Stalin. An adaptive statesman. A born Machiavellist. The lord of second [[Yugoslavia]]. No one before and after him has on this place more material for legends. He ruled the Serbs longer then Car Dušan, Knjaz Miloš and King Aleksander who propably would have used him as a pattern. A jovial dictator. The patron of the poor. The magnet of jet set. He sold his world vision like a new Christ of the Balkan peoples. A conjurer or the protagonist of an era, it was never clear to distinguish. One thing was for sure: Nothing in his proximity was of a small scale. Fortune and misfortune, deceit and truth, charm and actuality."''

While fighting In the [[First World War]], he was captured by the Russian Army. Broz converted to Communism and took part in the [[Red October|Russian Revolution]] in 1917.
