Keywords:
Mladi junak (newsletter), alcoholism, alcohol struggleAbstract
In this article, the author describes the anti-alcohol newsletter Mladi junak (Young Hero), which was published between 1924 and 1935. After an introduction to the state of alcoholism among Slovenian youth, he focuses on the basic presentation of the newsletter, naming the editors-in-chief and briefly introducing some of the columns published. It goes on to give examples of anti-alcohol stories, poems and riddles aimed at discouraging young readers from drinking. In the final part, some other contributions are described, which are not related to the anti-alcohol fight, but rather point young readers towards a healthy and better lifestyle, and compares Mladi junak with two anti-alcohol newsletters.
