Summary/Abstract: The text examines the possibilities of articulating the political resistance in Croatia, which the author calls the “anti-Brussels revolution”. The first part of the text clarifies the relationship between cultural and anti-bureaucratic revolution in the context of the relationship between political elites and the body politic. The second part presents and explains the use of the phrase anti-bureaucratic revolution in the analyses of Mirjana Kasapović, a political scientist, which provide historically instructive insights into the relationship between institutional and extra-institutional political activity necessary for the analysis of the emergence of the anti-Brussels revolution in Croatia. The third part of the text provides a brief presentation and typologization of six paradigmatic episodes related to protest, referendum and counter-referendum politics. These episodes can be subsumed under the conceptual field of revolution studies and represent a precursor to the anti-Brussels revolution as a political event in the realm of the sense of the possible. It is concluded that the anti-Brussels revolution is a form of emerging anti-bureaucratic revolution.
