Summary/Abstract: Vaso Pelagic spent the last ten years of his life in Serbia. He took part in many activates as a fighter for the national liberation of all Yugoslav peoples and a fiery fighter for the victory of socialist ideas. His publications aimed at propagating the socialist idea were the most important of these activities, but his practical work of organising the workers was likewise very important and so far less well-known. In this he showed himself to be an extremely capable propagator and organiser of the workers movement. Pelagic's propagation work was based largely on his seering critiscism of the existing socio-economic relations in Serbia and of capitalism in general proving, on the basis of this criticism, the necessity and possibility of developing a socialist society in Serbia. His practical work was manifested in his constant activity in the field of organising workers’ societies, books and libraries in helping to get workers papers moving and numerous other forms of activities in the workers movement.
