Individuals in the vice of totalitarianism

Solkan in the years 1947–1952

Abstract

The contribution represents the not sufficiently researched darker side of political events in the first years after the annexation of the Primorska (Littoral) region to the parent homeland in 1947 from which we learn how the totalitarian nature of the new communist regime intervened violently and fatally in the lives of some Slovenes in the Gorizia region. Represented in the contribution are separate events in Solkan that were also characteristic of a broader space of the Primorska region and the entire Slovene space.
