Feral Tribune

From 1990 to 1993 FERAL TRIBUNE was published as a satirical supplement of the then independent Split-based daily Slobodna Dalmacija, shocking new nationalistic authorities with satirical articles and photo-collages ridiculing stupidity of warlords and prominent political leaders of the so-called young Croatian democracy. FERAL TRIBUNE creators Viktor Ivancic, Predrag Lucic and Boris Dezulovic withdrew from Slobodna Dalmacija in March 1993. The first issue of the independent and self-reliant biweekly magazine FERAL TRIBUNE was published in June 1993. It contained satirical and serious articles penned by the very best Croatian journalists and intellectuals whose voice of reason was not to be heard amid the utter madness stirred up by the regime’s media. In December 1993. FERAL TRIBUNE established itself as a weekly magazine and soon became acknowledged as symbol of the struggle for freedom of the written word being at the same time the subject of merciless persecution by the Croatian authorities who tried to destroy the magazine with the numerous biased court trials, discriminating “pornographic” taxes, unlawful military mobilisation of its editor and burning papers at stakes at public places.
