In the past, Slovenians have had excellent, talented beekeepers, who greatly contributed to the global body of beekeeping knowledge. Already in the 18th century, when Austrian Empress Maria Theresa founded SEPTEMBER 13, 2013, PAGE 3 a beekeeping school in Vienna, Slovenian-born Anton Janša (1734-1773) was the first teacher of beekeeping at this school (1734- 1773). He was renowned as a great theoretician and practitioner and even wrote two books in German on beekeeping: A Treatise on Bee-swarming (1771) and A Full guide to Beekeeping (1775). Exceptional credit for developing Slovenian beekeeping also goes to the priest and teacher Peter Pavel Glavar (1721-1784) and to Anton Žnideršič (1874-1947). One hundred years ago, Slovenian beekeepers and bee merchants Beekeper`s vehicle in the field (Source: www.slovenia.info, photographer: Aleš Fevžer) even controlled the trade in Carniolan bee colonies and queens winters in colonies with a relatively which is sufficient for domestic all over the world. low number of bees. needs and even used for export.

  • Edvard Kocbek: Osebni Dosje Št
    Žiga Šorli Državni svet, 29.9.2014 Čez leta bomo razumeli zločin, ki se je dogodil pred našimi ogoljufanimi očmi. To je zločin duhovnega zapeljevanja. Množicam so obsedli dušo in telo, z bleskom in šumom so jim razdražili čute, gone so jim zagnali v strasti, pamet so jim zmedli in vso zavest razžgali do brezumja. Na milijone človeških bitij so ujeli v privide, vse telesne in duševne moči so jim usmerili v eno ter isto stran, v radovoljno službo enemu samemu človeku, bogu naroda, ki gre na čelu maščevalnega pohoda. Množice so dosegle višek cirkuškega tuljenja, z drhtečim sladostrastjem koprnijo po novi posiljenosti svoje zavesti. Doslej še nismo vedeli, kaj pomenijo do skrajnosti razbičane duševne sile, kadar jim Mefistofeles šepeta ukaze. Šele zdaj bomo to spoznali, ko zapeljivec zgublja oblast nad svojimi zapeljanci.

Str. 9 2 Ko smo delo končali, smo v sebi občutili usedlino nečesa nepovratnega, dokončnega, neizbrisnega. To so atributi zgodovine. Prišli so nad nas kakor nekoč znamenja ognjenih jezikov. To niso bili atributi mitične, legendarne, odmaknjene, temveč navzočne, tesnobne, s srčno krvjo ustvarjene in z nami do kraja spojene, odgovorne zgodovine. O zgodovina! Kako smo hrepeneli po tem občutku, krutem in polnem, pomenljivem in odgovornem. Šele zdaj sem dobil občutek, da je skozi našo borno sobico zavel dih elementarne usode.

  • Political Changes and the National Question in Yugoslavia in the Decade Following the Dispute with the Cominform 1948–1958
    M ATEJA R EŽEK Political Changes and the National Question in Yugoslavia in the Decade Following the Dispute with the Cominform 1948–1958 The dispute with the Cominform in 1948 was a dramatic experience for Yugoslav Communists. On the one hand, Yugoslav leaders rejected the So- viet accusations and relentlessly persecuted the supporters of the Comin- form’s resolution; while on the other hand, they made every effort to rec- tify the mistakes of which Stalin charged them, enforcing a large number of measures to prove their obedience to Moscow. Such behavior was dic- tated by ideological ties with the Soviet Union and the fear of armed inter- vention and a consequent loss of power. Aggressive Stalinist methods, es- pecially collectivization, worsened the political and economic crisis that soon forced the Yugoslav leaders to search for new solutions. Moreover, the Yugoslav authorities were under pressure from the West to provide – in exchange for economic, political, and military aid – concessions in the form of democratizing the Yugoslav political order. Determined to devise an alternative to the Soviet model of socialism, the Yugoslav leaders abandoned their rigid imitation of Soviet socialism at the beginning of the fifties and began an adventurous ideological search. Their main source was Marx, while they also drew secretly on works by less “orthodox” authors, particularly by the French utopian socialists. In con- trast to Soviet centralism, they began to propagate Marx’s thesis on the withering away of the state, which postulated that the functions of the state would be gradually taken over by the working class.

    ACTA HISTRIAE • 22 • 2014 • 4 Received: 2014-05-12 UDC 94:322(497.1)"19" Original scientifi c article KATOLIŠKA LEVICA IN MARKSIZEM V SLOVENIJI PO II. VATIKANSKEM KONCILU: IDEOLOŠKA KONTAMINACIJA IN NJENE POLITIČNE POSLEDICE Jure RAMŠAK Univerza na Primorskem, Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče, Garibaldijeva 1, 6000 Koper, Slovenija e-mail: [email protected] IZVLEČEK Z normalizacijo odnosov med rimskokatoliško cerkvijo in državo oz. SFRJ in Svetim sedežem, ki je dobila svoje formalno obeležje z beograjskim protokolom leta 1966 in navezavo diplomatskih odnosov na najvišji ravni leta 1970, so bili hkrati dani pogoji za vzpostavitev dialoga med generacijo mlajših marksistov in teologov. Temu je bil naklo- njen razvoj dogodkov tako na mednarodnem prizorišču (od nove doktrine papeža Janeza XXIII, preko delovanja t.i. Pavlove družbe, do t.i. teologije osvoboditve in na drugi strani dialogu naklonjena stališča marksističnih fi lozofov kot Ernst Bloch in Roger Garaudy ali italijanske komunistične partije pod Enricom Berlinguerjem), kot ideološki in politični kontekst v Jugoslaviji in še posebej v Sloveniji (samoupravni socializem s poudarjeno noto »humanističnega marksizma«, razvoj sociologije religije, spremembe v republiškem političnem vodstvu). Odnos do marksizma oz. specifi čno do samoupravnega socializma, ki je v središču tega prispevka, se je pri povojni generaciji teologov, ki je v 60. letih izhajala iz skupne koncilske usmerjenosti, v 70. letih jasneje profi liral. Medtem, ko se je večji del posve- čal študiju jugoslovanskega marksizma z namenom učinkovitejše kritike režima, je del teologov in laičnih izobražencev vse bolj prepoznaval prednosti zlasti jugoslovanskega socializma in v krščanstvu iskal motivacije za vključitev vernikov v njegovo izgradnjo. Predstavniki »socialistične teologije« so bili dejansko vselej številčno osamljena sku- pina znotraj pretežno konservativne slovenske Cerkve, ki pa jim je odmevnost dajalo dejstvo, da je njihov voditelj Vekoslav Grmič zasedal mesto mariborskega pomožnega škofa.

  • Pot Slovenskih Izseljencev Na Tuje Is a Well-Designed and Well-Written
    REVIEWS 215 But sometimes there is too much of a primary source included directly in the text, and it disturbs the fluency of reading. As an example, in the chapter on "Traveling and emigration agencies in Ljubljana," there are eight pages (134 through 141) entirely taken up with the reproduction of an advertisement about the steamer "George Washington," bound for the United States, enticing potential customers. Interesting and relevant but lengthy materials should be placed in appendices, rather than inserted in the main body of the work, where they can create lengthy breaks in the actual text. They cannot be a substitute for description and analysis of concrete data within a broader framework of a historian's pursuit, even for the general public. This is the impression that the reader, unfortunately, receives from time to time. This is, of course, not to detract from the tremendous accomplishment that Dmovsek achieved with his work, or from the undeniable usefulness of the data he assembled and analyzed, through which Slovene emigration, almost without precedent in the history of small nations, can be better understood. Pot slovenskih izseljencev na tuje is a well-designed and well-written book on Slovene emigration, and makes inviting and stimulating reading for the general readership as well as for professionals who are interested in the topic. In addition to the notes, an index, and a bibliography, the book also contains resumes in English and Gelman. Lea Plut-Pregelj, University of Maryland Miran Hladnik, Slovenska kmeeka povest.

  • Življenje in Delo Antona Korošca Do Prve Svetovne Vojne
    Prispevki za novejšo zgodovino XXXI - 1991 Feliks J. Bister Življenje in delo Antona Korošca do prve svetovne vojne I. Uvod Prleška vinska trta je od nekdaj vplivala na sproščeni in odkriti značaj domačega prebivalstva. Hkrati je jamčila za mednarodno priznano kakovost spodnještajerskih vin. Zato po mojem nikakor ni slučajnost, da je iznajdljivost ljudstva prav v tem mej­ nem panonskem prostoru med staro Avstrijo in bivšo habsburško Ogrsko tako velika. Prlekija je dala celo vrsto pomembnih mož - znanstvenike, pisatelje, pesnike, duhov­ nike, politike itd. -, ki so bistveno sooblikovali duhovno in družbenopolitično podobo slovenskega naroda. Imena kot Fran Miklošič, Božidar in Anton Raič, Jakob Missia, Stanko Vraz, Fran Ksaver Meško, Bratko Kreft, Edvard Kocbek itd. so nam vsem do­ bro znana.1 Med t. i. »velike sinove« Prlekije gotovo spada - ob vseh različnih svetovnonazor­ skih ali strankarskopolitičnih pogledih - zgodovinska osebnost duhovnika, novinarja in politika Antona Korošca (1872-1940).
