Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the activities of the Muslim Cultural Association “Preporod” from its foundation in 1945 until its abolition in 1949. The Muslim Cultural Association “Preporod” is practically a new national society, but in which two old pre-war “Bosniak” societies, Gajret and Narodna uzdanica, merged, which, as it stood out, eliminated divisions and divisions within the Bosniak people. However, the new society was not founded solely for this purpose, but above all to make it easier for the communist regime to win over the part of the Bosniak population that was not in favor of or was suspicious of the new authorities. The paper seeks, in the first place, on the basis of historical sources, to look more closely at these issues through the prism of the activities of the Muslim Cultural Association “Preporod”, especially its Main Board, the Sarajevo Local Committee, the state of society and the relations of the communist regime towards national societies in the period of 1945-1949.
