OSVRT NA ISTORIOGRAFSKU PRODUKCIJU O ZAVNOBiH-u
A REVIEW OF THE HISTORIOGRAPHIC PRODUCTION ABOUT ZAVNOBiH

Summary/Abstract: A historiographic heritage was created on the example of ZAVNOBiH which can in relation to this subject be simply reduced to question of ideology and denial, from an apologetic attitude towards the act itself, its role and results, especially as a point of continuity in a new beginning, to a nihilistic denunciation of all variants which were treated quantitatively more by journalists of all colours rather than historians. Comparing the historiographic production on this subject with the political changes in the SFRY, regarding the process of strengthening of republican individualities, and thereby the statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina as well, it is evident that scientific motives for the research and study of ZAVNOBiH during the 1960-ies moved along with these tendencies. The division of a unitary course of affirmation of ZAVNOBiH in historiographic literature into many points from the 1980-ies, along with deep and complex changes in SFRY and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, shows that the different understanding of this historiographic problem as a political one, an apparition and process of long duration. While the whole baggage of the ”new approach” swayed on the watershed fascism – anti-fascism, new contributions appeared whose research results do not negate the basic values of a complex problem which we can cumulatively call ZAVNOBiH, and which have different evaluations of the event, personalities and other involved subjects, their activities in this very complex and eventful period with important and long-lasting consequences, but this is a methodological appearance which respecting and questioning facts based on its understanding of philosophy of history analyses and concludes.
