ČISTA STRANKA PRAVA U VARAŽDINSKOM I LUDBREŠKOM KOTARU POČETKOM 20. STOLJEĆA
PURE PARTY OF RIGHTS IN VARAŽDIN AND LUDBREG COUNTY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20th CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to understand the differences between the two Croatian regions, Podravina and Varaždinština, based on differences in political activity of the Pure Party of Rights (Starčević’s Party of Rights/Party of Rights) at the beginning of the 20th century in the Varaždin and Ludbreg county. The author analyzed these differences based on the election results and the social structure of party members in both county. He noted that this party had previously penetrated into the Ludbreg rather than Varaždin county, that it penetrated into the Varaždin county from the Ludbreg county, and that in the Ludbreg county it created a stronger stronghold only in Ludbreg, while in the Varaždin county it created stronger stronghold in the countryside. This enabled the penetration of the Croatian People’s Peasant Party into the Ludbreg county, and caused it to stop at the borders of the Varaždin county. The author started from the former affiliation of the Varaždin county to Podravina, and from the existing definition of Podravina as the startin area of the Croatian People’s Peasant Party. Based on this he concluded that the Pure Party of Rights, stopping the overflow influence of the Croatian People’s Peasant Party from Ludbreg to Varaždin county, significantly contributed to the separation of Varaždin county into a special region, Varaždinština.
