Синергията между мобилизационните практики и установяването на социалистическата власт в Демократична Федерална Македония
The synergy between mobilization practices and the establishment of socialist power in Democratic Federal Macedonia

Summary/Abstract: On 2 August 1944, in the monastery of St. Prohor Pšinjski Monasteryan Anti-Fascist Assembly for the People’s Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) was convened. This venue was tasked with the establishment of the future socialist Yugoslav Macedonian statehood. The new state formation was named Democratic Federal Macedonia, in line with the vision of Tito’s partisans for the reconstruction of Yugoslavia on socialist and federal principles. The following months were a dynamic period in the history of Yugoslav Macedonia, characteristic of which was the construction of the administrative infrastructure of NOO (People’s Liberation Committees) and NOF (People’s Liberation Front). The NOO’s served as organs of local administration whose powers were practically all-encompassing, whilst the primary functions of NOF were to be the main organizer of the various mobilization practices(mass gatherings, street actions, voluntary work, etc.) in the new state entity. The period of DF Macedonia (2 August 1944 – 31 January1946) covers the initial stage of constructing socialist social, political and economic relations in Yugoslav Macedonia – a process combinedwith the penetration of the Communist Party of Macedonia (and its continuations – the state-controlled organizations) in all levels of society.This paper claims that a distinctive synergy can be observed in the historical timeline of Democratic Federal Macedonia between the deployment of various mobilization practices and the establishment of the socialist Yugoslav Macedonian state and nationhood.
