„Процес шесторици“: почетак краја идеолошког прогона у социјалистичкој Србији
„Process Against The Six“: Beginning Of The End Of Ideological Persecution In Socialist Serbia

Summary/Abstract: Together with growth of political repression in SFRY since the beginning ofthe 80s, resistance against non-democratic regime also grew, based mostly on newborn nationalism as well as on critical questioning of ideological motives. Thanks tothe awakened general public, deprived of totalitarian social context, these kinds ofshow trials in Serbia more and more missed their target. In the words of the attorneySrdja Popović, courthouses were legally turned into “schools of democracy”, insteadof stages of terror. The first case of this kind of process was the trial of the poetGojko Djogo in 1982, which ended ingloriously for the state, with the acquittal of theaccused, after a strong reaction of foreign and domestic general public as well as thehuman rights organizations. The same thing, with even stronger intensity, repeatedon the trial of six activists of Free University in Belgrade in 1985, which practicallyindicated the end of ideological pursuits in Belgrade and Serbia.
