No, Slovenia was not part of the Soviet Union. It was one of the six republics of Yugoslavia, a socialist federation that existed from 1946 until the early 1990s. While Yugoslavia was aligned with the Soviet bloc during the Cold War, it maintained a degree of independence from the Soviet Union. Slovenia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.
Ethnic tension in the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia escalated due to a combination of historical grievances, nationalist sentiments, and the suppression of ethnic identities by centralized authorities. In both cases, diverse ethnic groups were forced to coexist within artificial national boundaries, leading to competition for political power and economic resources. The weakening of central control—especially during periods of reform—allowed suppressed nationalist movements to resurface, resulting in violent conflicts and the eventual disintegration of both states. These tensions were exacerbated by propaganda and political manipulation, fueling divisions among ethnic groups.

Yugoslavia and the USSR (Soviet Union)
Yugoslavia
At the close of World War 2, Yugoslavia had managed to liberate itself from the Axis powers with only limited direct support from the Soviets. This meant that at the end of the war the Soviet Union did not have a military foothold in Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav Communists were not 'indebted' to the Soviet Union for helping to liberate their country.
No, Yugoslavia did not remain part of the Soviet bloc. Although it was a communist state after World War II, it followed a non-aligned path and distanced itself from Soviet influence, particularly after the Tito-Stalin split in 1948. Yugoslavia pursued an independent foreign policy, aligning itself with neither the Soviet Union nor the Western bloc during the Cold War.

They were both communist, but Yugoslavia was independent, while Poland was a Soviet satellite state.
Probably because the Soviets were never in Yugoslavia. Yugoslva, which no longer exists, was a socialist country until 1991 but it was never a Soviet country. The Soviets had no real influence because after WW2 Yugoslavia freed itself from Nazi Germany and Italy without the need for significant Soviet (Russian) support. Because of this Yugoslavia was able to make its own way in the world without following the Soviet government's wishes.
