Summary/Abstract: On December 29/30 1920 a proclamation called the »Obznana« was issued. Immediately after the proclamation the ruling middle-class political parties, helped by the police and supported by the reactionary elements gathered round the so-called »National Guards«, practiced the opression on the working-class movement which was growing stronger and stronger. After the proclamation of the »Obznana« the employers rejected the workers’ legislature, amid prolongued the eight hour working day introducing the work by the piece. The country saw the crisis, as the agrarian problem had not been solved consequently. It caused the permanent class struggle between the landowners and the poor peasants. Meanwhile, the Communist Party did not make good use of it. Owing to the undeveloped forms of work in the country the Party did not accept the struggle and in that way it missed to turn it into the struggle against the regime itself.
