KLUB STUDENATA JUGOSLOVENSKE RADIKALNE ZAJEDNICE »SLOVENSKI JUG« NA BEOGRADSKOM UNIVEZITETU 1935. - 1941.
THE YUGOSLAV RADICAL SOCIETY STUDENT MEMBERS' CLUB »SLAVIC SOUTH« AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE 1935 - 1941

Summary/Abstract: The »Slavic South« club was founded in December 1935 by student members of the Yugoslav Radical Society (YRS) of the University of Belgrade. In the beginning of 1936 the society newspaper bearing the same name was issued as a formal organ of the YRS student organization. The primary aim of the Club was to take part in suppressing the influence of communist and other similar student circles affiliated with the Student Youth Association. In the middle of 1937 all the various »Slavic South« clubs in Yugoslavia were joined to from the »YRS Academic Youth« organization, with the purpose of creating a bond between student YRS supporters from the universities of Belgrade, Zagreb and Ljubljana, as well as from the colleges of Subotica and Skoplje. The activity of the Belgrade University »Slavic South« club was especially pronounced towards the end of 1937 and the beginning of 1938 with the opening of a library and student canteen, and the beginning of work of various sections. Branch committees of the club were also formed in this period in Niš and Pirot, while members of the club took part in student delegations which visited Germany, Italy and Greece. The fall of the Government of Milan Stojadinović in February 1939 brought about changes in the leadership of the Club and a greater involvement of the party in the work of the student organization. Following the congress held in June 1939 activity of the Club had practically ceased and, consequently, little information is to be found about its further work even in party publications.
