“Ostaci Građanstva’’ Na Putu Izgradnje Socijalizma uBosni i Hercegovini
“Remnants of Bourgeoisie’’ During The Building of Socialism in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: Even though many the post-war processes had started already in the last two years of the war, the year 1945 is considered to be the turning point in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Within the Yugoslav socialist political framework, Bosnia and Herzegovina was very consistent in the clearly defined policies of state-building of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. One of major communist tasks was not to allow the remaining bourgeois politicians to revive the multi-party system. Yugoslav communists combined deferent method of action and succeeded in their intent in a very effective way. One of the numerous methods they applied the one related to the establishment and operation of the People’s Court of Honor that served to get rid of political opponents, was very successful since, with the loss of civil rights, they could not be included in the electoral rolls to vote at the forthcoming elections. Upon the first strong measures, it was much easier for the communists to take actions against various ethnically based cultural and educational associations and remnants of political parties, where they took control over them immediately after having allowed their re-establishment - only to close them several years later, so that they could have a convincing proof that those groups were worn out from within and that there was no need for them to exist in a socialist society.
