Bivšega policijskog upravitelja u Banjoj Luci i Sarajevu vlastodršci su krajem 1940. odabrali za ravnatelja zagrebačkoga redarstvenog ravnateljstva kao zamjenu za nepouzdanoga Josipa Vragovića. ...Svojim je iskustvom i oštrim pristupom prema neistomišljenicima političkoga poretka, prokušanim tijekom sedamnaestogodišnje policijske službe, trebao suspregnuti sve snažniju djelatnost komunističkih i ustaško-frankovačkih snaga u hrvatskoj metropoli neposredno pred početak
ratnih operacija na ovim prostorima. U prilogu se nastoji približiti Vikertov profesionalni i privatni život uz iznošenje podataka o njegovoj
povezanosti s onodobnim političkim strukturama, načinu ophođenja s protivnicima režima te najbližim suradnicima. Posebna je pozornost posvećena upravljanju policijom u Banjoj Luci, Sarajevu i Zagrebu, što je naposljetku i dovelo do toga da je samo nekoliko dana nakon uspostave
Nezavisne Države Hrvatske postao jednom od za režim najnepoželjnijih osoba.
Rikard Vikert (1889–1941) was the last chief of the Zagreb police before the beginning of World War II in this region. He remained at this
post only for a short time. Despite this, immediately after the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia, he was declared one of the most wanted persons of the new regime. The reasons for this were related to his earlier policing activities, especially his performance as the head of the Sarajevo police (1935–1940), when he was responsible for the cruel treatment of political dissidents of the old Yugoslav regime.
He was trained to perform police duties as early as the time of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, acting as part of the armed forces, i.e. the gendarmerie, immediately after the establishment of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. He was well-accepted in centralist circles because he voluntarily left the Austro-Hungarian army and joined the Serbian army at the very beginning of the Great War. In this way, he gained the trust of Belgrade’s political elites, which found him suitable for larger police tasks, due to the fact he was an educated officer. From 1923, he was employed by the Ministry of the Interior, and
climbed the administrative ladder within the police apparatus. He experienced a professional zenith when he became the chief of the Zagreb
police, where he tried to oppose the increasingly strong attempts of members of the Ustasha and communist movements to break the old order. After the entry of German forces into Yugoslavia and the proclamation of
the puppet Independent State of Croatia, he and his associates fled Zagreb, trying to find refuge in Sarajevo. There, at the end of April 1941, he committed suicide while resisting an attempt of the Ustasha police to apprehend him.

U ovom radu istražuje se fenomen sekundarne upotrebe rimskih novčića (II–IV vek) u srednjovekovnim nekropolama (X–XV vek) sa teritorije Srbije. U fokusu istraživanja su grobovi u kojima su rimski ...novčići upotrebljeni kao dekorativni elementi pokojnikove odeće – najčešće preoblikovani u priveske. Ovakav tip sekundarne upotrebe rimskog novca konstatovan je samo u ženskim grobovima. Cilj rada je da predloži interpretaciju ove pojave kroz analizu vrednosti i značaja sekundarno upotrebljenih novčića u stvaranju porodičnih dragocenosti koje se definišu u važnim i kritičnim momentima društvenog života zajednice. Posebno se ispituje mogućnost interpretacije ovih nalaza kao primera grobova u kojima su sahranjene ženske osobe sa delovima svog miraza. Analizira se konstrukcija značenja i vrednosti ovih predmeta kroz njihovu razmenu u običajima vezanim za sklapanje braka, i, naposletku, u funerarnim praksama. Budući da je rimski novac iz ovih grobova malobrojan, i da se uvek radi o bronzanim denominacijama, možemo pretpostaviti da je definisanje njihove vrednosti i značaja zasnovano na simboličkom i reprezentativnom nivou. Polazna tačka ovog rada je korpus radova koji istražuju fenomen ponovne upotrebe stvari u prošlosti, da bi se dalje u radu dublje istražila veza između srednjovekovne društvene strukture i evaluacije novčića u seoskim zajednicama centralnog Balkana.
Avtorica osvetljuje biografske vidike Ivane Kobilca, da bi pojasnila, kako je lahko ženska, rojena v Ljubljani, perifernem mestu habsburške monarhije 19. stoletja, postala uspešna umetnica. Čeprav ni ...pripadala višjim slojem, je odpotovala na tuje, študirala umetnost in se integrirala v več evropskih urbanih središčih. Biografija s posebnim poudarkom na njeni mobilnosti in socialni mreži razkriva premišljene strategije, s katerimi je premagovala ovire, ki so omejevali umetniško izražanje žensk v času belle époque. Študija temelji na ego-dokumentih, biografskih študijah in relevantnih historiografskih delih in izbrane vidike Kobilčine biografije umešča v širše in dinamično sociokulturno okolje.
Like his numerous contemporaries from the period of the dissolution of Austria-Hungary and establishment of the new Yugoslav state, Franjo Urbany (1874–1951), a lawyer from Zagreb, General Attorney ...and police chief of the second-largest city in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, had to make a considerable political and ideological U-turn in order to continue his presence in high administrative circles. It would be hard to say whether his personal pre-war views were in opposition to the new situation or not, but there can be little doubt that he wanted to ingratiate himself to the new power-holders. This was a necessity if he were to continue climbing the administrative ladder in the new environment. The difficulty was that Urbany, like many of his kind from the occupying system, had to virtually jump into the lap of those who had been occupied up until that point and – in the new circumstances – were the leading political forces of the state union of which Croatia had suddenly become a member. There can be little doubt that Urbany knew how to adapt. Once a participant in the burning of a Hungarian tricolour at Zagreb’s Jelačić Square in 1895 and a minor administrator of the Austro-Hungarian occupying forces in Serbia during World War I, he became a persecutor of the Croatian opposition and a campaigner for the protection of the centralistic and unitarian Yugoslavian community ruled by the Karađorđević dynasty. These merits provided him with the opportunity to lead and restructure the Zagreb police in the period of 1921–1924. Despite his successes, it appears that the power-holders were in search of a firmer hand for the upcoming times, in order to combat the increasing numbers of dissenters. Because of this, Urbany was forced to resign as the chief of Zagreb’s police and was succeeded by the notorious Janko Bedeković.
