U radu se detaljnije istražuje život i djelo istaknutoga hrvatskog povjesničara Ferde Šišića od početka 1938. do 1940. godine. Temeljni je istraživački problem koji se postavlja u radu ...rasvjetljavanje i karakterizacija međuodnosa Šišićeva profesionalnog rada kao povjesničara i njegova političkog djelovanja. U tome cilju se na temelju brojnih arhivskih izvora, periodike i dostupne literature rekonstruira cjelokupna Šišićeva djelatnost na polju historiografije, u kulturi i politici u tadašnjem povijesnom kontekstu, određenom institucionalnim strukturama Kraljevine Jugoslavije.
This paper provides a more detailed analysis of the scholarly, cultural and political activities of the distinguished Croatian historian Ferdo Šišić during the last years of his life from 1938 to 1940. The main objective has been to cast light on the relation of Šišić’s work in the field of historiography and his political activities in the historical context defined by the institutions of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia at the time. The first chapter refers to Šišić’s withdrawal from his teaching duties at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb in the academic year 1937/38 due to a heart condition and to political conflicts among the students at Zagreb University. His activities in Masonic lodges have been explored and his actions published in early 1938 analysed; they clearly indicated his close relations to the regime in Belgrade and to the policy of the then Prime Minister Milan Stojadinović. Another focus of the paper is Šišić’s publications published in spring 1938 particularly in reference to the re-establishment of his cooperation with Matica hrvatska, which, administered by Filip Lukas, became the base of activities for Croatian nationalist intellectuals with a negative attitude towards the regime in Belgrade. A thorough analysis of Šišić’s works, primarily in journalist style, published under changing political circumstances after the fall of Prime Minister Stojadinović’s government in the first half of 1939, has provided a clear indication of Šišić’s opportunism and careerism as the most acceptable explanation for his political and cultural activities. However, in this paper close attention has been also drawn to Šišić’s huge energy for work which, despite his poor health condition, made him return to his teaching duties at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb in the winter semester of the academic year 1938/39; with this energy he maintained relationships with numerous colleagues and associates and continued writing, publishing a great number of works. This was partly also the reason why his seventieth birthday in March 1939 had a major impact, especially among the well-informed. The last part of this paper investigates Šišić’s life in the second half of 1939 marked by the progress of his illness, his retirement and the withdrawal from public life, which took place in the context of the establishment of the Banovina of Croatia. The final part describes Šišić’s death and his funeral in January 1940, special attention being paid to the first reviews of Šišić’s life and work immediately after his death.

Članak detaljno analizira političko djelovanje Ante Trumbića od njegova povratka u Kraljevinu Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca nakon potpisivanja Rapalskog ugovora krajem 1920. pa do kraja 1921. godine. ...Posebice se proučavaju njegovi odnosi prema značajnijim hrvatskim i srpskim političarima, djelovanje u Ustavotvornoj skupštini i politička angažiranost u pravcu revizije Vidovdanskog ustava nakon njegova donošenja. Time se rasvjetljava razvoj Trumbićevih razmišljanja o političkim odnosima u Kraljevini SHS, koji je u značajnoj mjeri odredio pravac njegova djelovanja tijekom dvadesetih godina. Zaključuje se da je u ovome periodu Trumbić u svojim političkim shvaćanjima napredovao od početnog optimizma u vezi skladnog rješavanja jugoslavenskog državnog uređenja prema realpolitičkoj taktici rješavanja hrvatskoga pitanja.
The purpose of this article is to explore the development of political views of a renowned Croatian politician Ante Trumbić after his return to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (SCS) at the end of 1920 until the end of 1921, mostly on the basis of seldom used or completely unknown archival sources, newspapers of the time, and secondary literature. The first part of the article describes Trumbić’s return to Split, central parts are focused on his political activity in the Constituent Assembly of the Kingdom of SCS and the reasons for his opposition to the Vidovdan (St. Vitus Day) Constitution, while the last parts of the article are exploring Trumbić’s cooperation with Stojan Protić and his political actions in the direction of revising the Constitution in the second half of 1921. It is concluded that Trumbić’s views at this time progressed from optimism in the possibility of harmonious solution of the Croat question in Yugoslavia between major politicians like Nikola Pašić and Stjepan Radić, towards realpolitik tactics of necessary cooperation of Croatian opposition with the major Serbian opponents of Svetozar Pribićević like Jovan Jovanović Pižon and Ljubomir Davidović.

This article analyzes the essays published in Drago Roksandić’s book Historiografija u tranziciji. The author exposes his considerations concerning its breakthroughs in methodology and content on the ...one side, and on the other insights into its partial affinity to still dominant “transitional” characteristics of Croatian historiography. In conclusion, the author suggests possible and desirable approaches to controversial and sensitive topics of contemporary Croatian history, which could achieve further breakthroughs in future research on this matter.
