Something similar did happen in Communist Yugoslavia

Something similar to what? I'm confused.

Thomas was asserting that "rootless cosmopolitan" was an antisemitic slur that Vektorceraptor deliberately applied to Kenarov. I asserted that the knowledge and usage of that expression is not nearly as universal as Thomas claimed. Thomas clarified that it's a Russian dog whistle.

I've just finished reading the essay you linked there. How does it fit in this discussion?
