The bomb in the munich carriage
Ustash terrorism and its Slovenian victim
Keywords:
The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, dictatorshipAbstract
The most determined opposition to the dictatorship of King Alexander and his authoritarian regime was offered by two rather weak and in many ways marginal political groups - i.e. movements - from the two diametrically opposed poles of the Yugoslav political spectrum: the Internationalist communists from the far left wing and the Croatian nationalists from the far right wing of Croatian politics. While the communist »uprising« was thoroughly nipped in the bud, the Ustash movement with its terrorist actions proved to be far more dangerous, successful and ruthless. One of the most resounding - and most bloody - diversions carried out by the Ustash was an explosion on the Munich-Belgrade train on 2 August, 1931, which claimed the lives of three innocent victims. Amongst them was also Janko Lešničar, a prominent liberal politician, journalist and expert in the field of economics from Celje.
