Abstract: The article analyzes the enemy propaganda and the violation of public order and peace, as well as the secret services’ propaganda activities as a form of resistance and subversion towards the regime in Serbia and Yugoslavia by the early 1970s. With illegal forms of active resistance eradicated until the beginning of the 1950s, dissatisfaction mostly manifested itself through an increased number of enemy propaganda acts and the attacks on law and order authorities. Unlike those from the time immediately after the war, the culprits of these deeds were to be found predominantly among the young people who grew up after the war, and who mostly originated from communist families. The phenomena to blame for “corrupting Yugoslav youth” were to a significant extent the activities of “foreign intelligence agencies”, as well as the activities of Yugoslav political emigration.
