Na osnovi izvornih arhivskih dokumenata iz Državnog arhiva u Splitu u ovom se radu daje kratki prikaz poslijeratne komunističke represije, zarobljeničkih logora i progona svećenstva na području grada ...Splita i šire okolice. Poseban je naglasak na slučaju fra Petra Turkalja, gvardijana Samostana sv. Josipa, koji je početkom 1946. osuđen na 12 godina zatvora s prisilnim radom. Turkalj je umro za vrijeme izdržavanja kazne u KPD-u Stara Gradiška, a njegovu je presudu u listopadu 2022. poništio Županijski sud u Splitu.
Iako je uspostavom višestranačja omogućeno istraživanje protukomunističkog otpora u prvim poslijeratnim godinama, u historiografji je broj radova koji se bave ovom problematikom još uvijek skroman. ...Stoga se u ovom radu autorica fokusira na djelovanje križarske skupine Mirka Kapulice. Dio Kapuličine mreže jataka djelovao je na području Cetinske krajine, a pokušaj rekonstrukcije temelji se uglavnom na UDB-inim dosjeima njegovih „jataka“ koji se čuvaju u fondu Sekretarijata za unutrašnje poslove u Državnom arhivu u Splitu.
U prvim mjesecima nakon završetka vojnih operacija u Dalmaciji, započeto je organiziranje prvih križarskih skupina. Među njima bile su i one u okolici Metkovića koje su osnivane već krajem 1944., a ...koje su često prelazile na hercegovačko tlo ili održavale kontakte s tamošnjim suradnicima. Tijekom tog razdoblja pojedine skupine su razbijene, a obračun s križarima nastavljen je i tijekom 1945. godine. Do početka 1946. neretvanski kraj će uglavnom biti „očišćen“ od križara, a brojni njihovi suradnici poznati komunističkim vlastima i progonjeni. No, upravo se tada na metkovsko područje povremeno počinje prebacivati skupina križara Ivana Milasa iz Čapljine koji je surađivao i sa širokobriješkim križarima. Na temelju dokumenata, konstantno djelovanje Milasove skupine na metkovskom području može se pratiti negdje od početka ljeta 1946. pa do početka rujna kada je Milas uhvaćen. Njegova sudbina još je uvijek predmet kontroverzi.
In the first months after the end of military operations in Dalmatia, the or-ganization of the first crusader groups began. There were groups founded nearMetković at the end of 1944, and which often crossed over to Herzegoviniansoil or maintained contacts with local associates. During this period, indivi-dual groups were broken up, and the showdown with the crusaders continuedthroughout 1945. By the beginning of 1946, the Neretva region was mostly“cleansed” of crusaders, and there were many persecutions of their associatesknown to the communist authorities. However, it was then that a group of cru-saders Ivan Milas from Čapljina, who also collaborated with the Široki Brijegcrusaders, occasionally began to transfer to the Metković area. Based on thedocuments, the constant activity of Milas’ group in the Metković area can betraced somewhere from the beginning of the summer of 1946 to the beginningof September when Milas was captured. His fate remains unknown.
This book focuses on the events that took place in late 1944 and 1945 in Croatia and Slovenia when the intensity of violence was strongest. At that time, the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ), ...assisted by the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav Army, the Department for the Protection of the People (OZNA) and the Corps of People's Defence of Yugoslavia (KNOJ) conducted organized terror not only by intimidation, persecution, torture and imprisonment, but also by the execution of a large number of citizens perceived by the KPJ as disloyal, passive, ideological enemies or class enemies. However, investigating war and post-war crimes committed by communist regime was not possible until 1990, after the democratic changes in Yugoslavia. This book is based on documents kept in the archives of Croatia, Slovenia, the UK, and Serbia. Many of them, especially those in Croatia, recently became available to the public, which makes them extremely valuable source of data to the academics and students in this field and which shed new light on these historical events.°The Communist Party in the former Yugoslavia was an organization which used all available means to seize and keep power, including terror and mass murder, especially between autumn 1944 and summer 1945 when mass killings occurred across the country. However, in the Soviet sphere of influence, investigating war and post-war crimes committed by communist regimes was not possible until 1990. This project not only covers new ground in the research into communist war crimes at the end of and after the Second World War, but also contributes to coming to terms with the past in the successor states of Yugoslavia by studying one of the most controversial episodes in the contemporary history of the Balkans.°Since the October Revolution, when for the first time in history a Marxist party seized state power, communist regimes have influenced the lives of more than a billion people, caused millions of deaths and violated the human rights of countless people. However, in the Soviet sphere of influence and in Yugoslavia, investigating war and post-war crimes committed by communist regimes was not possible until 1990, after the democratic changes in Eastern Europe. Resolution 1481/2006 of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly strongly condemned human rights violations committed by totalitarian communist regimes and the 2008 Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism stated that these crimes were comparable with Nazi crimes but, very few people have been tried for committing such crimes. Nevertheless, 25 years later, in former Yugoslav republics this topic is still a matter of political and scientific debates.
U članku se analiziraju ranije poznati podaci o sudbini ranjenih pripadnika Hrvatskih oružanih snaga, koji su se po završetku Drugog svjetskog rata zatekli u zagrebačkim bolnicama te se nadopunjuju ...dosad neobjavljenim dokumentima iz sačuvanog gradiva nekadašnje Zakladne bolnice i Bolnice sestara milosrdnica, koje se čuva u Državnom arhivu u Zagrebu. Naročitu vrijednost predstavljaju popisi ranjenika otpuštenih iz ovih dviju bolnica između 17. svibnja i 29. lipnja 1945, među kojima i onih otpremljenih u logor Prečko.
Despite on-going peace process efforts, which have achieved some progress towards normalization of the situation in Northern Ireland, and disarming of the Provisional IRA conducted in 2005, this ...region still lives in constant danger of terrorist attacks. Operations of the IRA's breakaway wings have been intensified after 2007, and despite the Irish National Liberation Army's termination of the armed struggle in October 2009, the Real IRA (RIRA) and Continuity IRA (CIRA) do not yet show an intention to lay down their arms. Moreover, there are indications that the Real IRA established contacts with al-Qaeda cells in the UK, and that former members of the Provisional IRA joined the dissidents. Particular concern is the public opinion polls which suggest that dissidents enjoy greater support within the Catholic community than previously assumed. Moreover, in July 2012 the dissidents announced unification into a new organization called the "New IRA". In early 2015 a representative of Northern Ireland Police Bill Kerr announced that dissident groups are planning new attacks on the territory of the United Kingdom on the eve of elections and the centennial celebration of the Easter Uprising. The available data on dissident activities between 2012 and 2015 can not give a definitive answer about the future of a dissident movement. The fact is that the dissidents are "here", but if they will still be here after 2016 remains to be seen.
This thesis focuses on the exploration of 'normal' in post-conflict societies using an example of Croatia where the war ended in 1995. A new normal significantly differs from the pre-war 'normal' ...which was 'normal' only because 'we didn't know any better' suggesting there are expectations that a new 'normal' should meet to fulfil people's desires and be the 'normal' they fought for. Therefore, 'normal life' emerges as an ideal enriched by a dynamic and flexible nature which changes according to the external circumstances and inner experiences; thus, it is being actively pursued. If people's expectations are not met, a profound experience of disappointment and dissatisfaction persists, potentially leading to new instabilities and conflict. In this thesis, these ideas will be explored from the perspective of 300 Croatian Army veterans who participated in this study. Using my empirical data collected from their questionnaires and interviews, I argue that we need to rethink 'normal life' as a part of post-conflict recovery and the way it is currently understood in a broader context of peace-building. Although many researchers tackled everyday life and explored various peace-building topics such as reconciliation and truth, 'normal life' has not been analysed in-depth. Thus, it is essential to address this important theoretical gap to understand conflict in a specific context of a local 'normal' and reconsider more nuanced approaches to local post-conflict recovery. Furthermore, I discuss a range of definitions of 'normal life', what this ideal could be and how it links to different understandings of inner peace, another framing concept emerging from the data as closely connected to 'home' and 'normal'. I also look into what is lacking in order to establish 'normal life' in the post-conflict society from different perspectives such as history, security, relationship with the enemy, justice and how desire for establishing 'normal life' can encourage these processes.
Krajem listopada 1944. partizanske postrojbe zauzele su Solin, Split i čitavo srednjodalmatinsko područje. Vrlo brzo su formirane uprave u tvornicama u Solinu, Vranjicu i Kaštel Sućurcu, a tvornica ...cementa u Majdanu odmah je počela s radom. U nekima su radili njemački ratni zarobljenici o kojima je ostao sačuvan veći broj dokumenata. Organiziran je i veći broj zarobljeničkih logora od kojih se barem jedan nalazio u Solinu, o čemu svjedoče najamni ugovori pronađeni u fondu Općega građevnog poduzeća »Gradnja«, koji se čuva u Državnom arhivu u Splitu. O stanju na širem splitskom, pa tako i solinskom području, u
prvim poslijeratnim mjesecima ostao je sačuvan veći broj izvješća tadašnjih jugoslavenskih vlasti. Među tzv. reakcionarima koji su zabrinjavali novu komunističku vlast nalazili su se brojni neistomišljenici
Komunističke partije, pa tako i članovi drugih političkih stranaka i organizacija. U arhivu Sekretarijata unutrašnjih poslova (SUP) za Dalmaciju, koji se čuva u Državnom arhivu u Splitu, ostao je sačuvan zapis tadašnjih jugoslavenskih vlasti, moguće Uprave državne bezbjednosti (UDB), u kojemu se navodi da »u solinskom bazenu postoji vrlo opasna grupa H.S.S.« čiji je »duhovni vođa prije rata bio Marin Kljaković«. U zapisu se također ističe da ni jedno mjesto u Dalmaciji nije imalo tako jaku i čvrstu organizaciju Hrvatske seljačke stranke na čelu s dvadesetak mladih ljudi koji su za vrijeme Drugoga svjetskog rata ostali dosljedni politici te stranke. Po istom dokumentu dvojica su likvidirani tijekom rata, iako se izričito ne navodi kako i od koga. Petoricu najistaknutijih iz te grupe Kljaković je povukao »u Hrvatsku« ne bi li ih tako spasio od iste sudbine. Među njima je bio i Jozo Bulj u čijemu je dosjeu sačuvano obilje podataka o radu Hrvatske seljačke stranke (HSS) u solinskom bazenu tijekom Drugoga svjetskog rata i neposredno nakon toga. Buljevi iskazi pred isljednicima Odjeljenja za zaštitu naroda (OZN) i kasnije UDB-e sadrže obilje podataka o radu Hrvatske seljačke stranke uoči Drugoga svjetskog rata i za vrijeme rata na solinskom području te stoga predstavljaju vrijedan izvor za proučavanje dalmatinske povijesti 20. stoljeća.
