Jugoslovanski federalizem in ustavni zakon leta 1953
No full textOn the basis of archive sources and professional literature, the author deals with the 1953 Constitutional Law from the viewpoint of Yugoslav federalism and the national question. Special attention is dedicated to the abolition of the Council of Nationalities, as an independent chamber in the Federal Assembly, and the introduction, in its stead, of the Producers\u27 Council which was class rather than nationality based. The author concludes that the Constitutional Law drastically limited the rights of individual nationalities and federal units, which had been, at least formally, guaranteed by the 1946 Constitution.Avtorica na podlagi arhivskih virov in strokovne literature obravnava ustavni zakon iz leta 1953 s stališča jugoslovanskega federalizma in nacionalnega vprašanja. V ospredje postavlja ukinitev zbora narodov kot samostojnega doma zvezne skupščine in uvedbo zbora proizvajalcev, katerega podlaga ni bil nacionalni, temveč razredni element. Avtorica ugotavlja, da so bile z ustavnim zakonom močno omejene pravice posameznih narodov oziroma federalnih enot, ki jim jih je vsaj formalno zagotavljala že ustava iz leta 1946
Vpliv okupacije na življenje Slovencev leta 1941
No full textThe author concludes that the 1941 occupation was the greatest turning point in the hitherto history of Slovenia. The occupation radically changed people\u27s lives in all spheres of their activity, especially on the German occupied territory. For most Slovenes, whose ethnic identity was destined for annihilation by the occupiers, the period of struggle for mere survival began.Avtor ugotavlja, da je okupacija leta 1941 pomenila največjo prelomnico v dotedanji slovenski zgodovini. Življenje ljudi se je do temeljev spremenilo na vseh področjih njihovega delovanja. Za večino slovenskega prebivalstva, ki so ga okupatorji obsodili na smrt, se je pričelo obdobje gole borbe za obstanek
Pogledi slovenskih revolucionarno usmerjenih marksistov na črnogorsko vprašanje leta 1923
No full textThe author presents the position of the Slovene communists with regards to the so-called Montenegrin question in 1923. In the context of a public political discussion on the national question, from May to December that year, the Yugoslav Communist Party (Komunistična stranka Yugoslavije) devised its multi-national, federal program. The author points out that it was the Slovene communists who first called for the recognition of Montenegro as a legal state entity and its inclusion in the Party\u27s federal program. He concludes that the political process, which eventually resulted in the formation of the Republic of ontenegro within the second, federal Yugoslav state, had actually been started as early as 1923 by the Slovene members of the YCP.Avtor predstavlja gledanje slovenskih komunistov na črnogorsko vprašanje leta 1923, t.j. v času, ko je Komunistična stranka Jugoslavije - od maja do decembra 1923 - v okviru javne teoretsko-politične razprave o nacionalnem vprašanju oblikovala svoj federativni narodni program. Opozarja, da so bili slovenski komunisti prvi, ki so v okviru KSJ zahtevali, naj komunistična stranka kot posebno državnopravno enoto vključi tudi Črno goro v svoj federativni narodno-državni načrt. Na tej osnovi ugotavlja, da je bil politični proces, ki je privedel do oblikovanja posebne črnogorske republike v drugi (federativni) jugoslovanski državi, sprožen že leta 1923 v slovenskem delu KSJ
