Summary/Abstract: Over forty years after the student unrest of 1968 occurred, it is still variously interpreted. Mystifications concerning the first emergence of democratic, liberal and other similar denotations are attached to the era of the revolt, while the radical communist solutions proposed by the participants in the revolt are mentioned least of all. The Zagreb demonstrations, under the banner slogan of “eminent communist solutions,” confirmed the later intent of the revolt, which – despite official criticism that it was led by “Demagogic-Anarcho-Liberal phrase-makers” (the so-called ‘DALF’ovists) – was in fact led by individuals who considered themselves “the last SKOJevists” (leaders of the communist youth movement). Thus the revolt was not the work of dissidents, but rather of schismatics characterized by their demand for the further radicalization of communist solutions.
