Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the first period of revolutionary violence and uses sources reviewed thus far to show that the revolutionary side in Ljubljana and its immediate surroundings carried out attacks, kidnappings and assassinations targeting around 200 people between July 1941 and the end of October 1942 until the emergence of the counter-revolutionary side’s armed units; as many as around 170 of those people were killed. The vast majority of them were civilians or non-military persons, but there were also some victims from the revolutionaries’ own ranks – these were Partisan deserters or “unreliable persons”. The article contains an up-to-date list of the names of the victims from this period.
