Interesting! I did some reading, and it looks like Yugoslavia managed to escape the work camps and genocide thanks to Tito, who split with Stalin early on, and was able to maintain power in Yugoslavia (which was then excluded from the Warsaw Pact).

Also looks like there was US aid involved as well. Interesting. Not sure why the Soviets didn't push for military action, though.
