A STUDY OF THE COMMUNIST SOCIAL SYSTEM IN THE JOURNAL ŽIVOT AT THE TIME OF STJEPAN TOMISLAV POGLAJEN’S EDITORSHIP (1937-1941)

Summary/Abstract: In this article the author attempts to analyze the articles and documents published about communism in the journal Život at the time when Stjepan Tomislav Poglajen was its editor (1937-1941). These articles and documents review the Communist system of social organization in the Soviet Union and the countries occupied by it as well as the role of the publications of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, in spreading Communist propaganda. The work is divided into three parts. In the first part, under the heading “Život in search of the roots of Communism,” an analysis of the articles which show the origins of Communism out of the dialectic of historical materialism is presented. In addition, the author attempts to show how Život assessed the theory on which Communist ideology developed. In the second part of this work, under the heading “Communist Reality,” the author presents the articles published in Život which described, on the basis of eye witness accounts and accounts of victims, societal developments in the lands under Communist rule. In the final, or third, part of the article, under the heading “Analysis of the documents published in Život,” the author attempts to analyze and evaluate the worth and importance of the documents which presented a large number of facts about social developments and events in Communist lands. The author, by way of comparison with these documents, presents an overview of the Communist press and propaganda, in Život, and commentary on its content by the editor of Život, Stjepan Tomislav Poglajen. In the conclusion to this article, the author attempts to briefly evaluate the role and significance of the journal Život in bringing forward facts about Communism and social developments in the lands under the Communist regime.
