The Praxis journal was published by a group of praxis theoreticians, mainly from Zagreb University. It was published in two editions: Yugoslav and foreign. The first issue of the Yugoslav edition was published on 1 September 1964 and was published until 1974. As for the foreign edition, it was published between 1965 and 1973. Its founders were Branko Bošnjak, Danko Grlić, Milan Kangrga, Rudi Supek, Gajo Petrović, Predrag Vranicki, Danilo Pejović and Ivan Kuvačić. The first editors of the journal were Petrović and Pejović, but in 1966 Pejović resigned from Praxis. After that, Supek was the co-editor of the journal together with Petrović. In January 1974 Supek also resigned and was replaced by Kuvačić as the co-editor of Praxis (Souce:Wikipedia)
More...»Gegenstimmen« was founded in 1980 by a "Socialist Committee« in Vienna - a goup of leftist intellectuals with rather Maoist than Moscow-related sympathies. In a standard text included in many issues opf the journal the editors are introducing themselves in the following way:
»More and more Socialists and Marxists in the West are taking a stand against the suppression of democratic freedoms in Eastern European countries. The labor movement has the same international responsibility in this area as in supporting anti-imperialist struggles in the Third World. A socialist strategy in the West must be one with the anti-bureaucratic struggles in the East. The Stalinist regimes in Eastern Europe have discredited socialism in the eyes of many. Therefore, we can not leave reporting on these countries and solidarity with the democratic and socialist opposition to the bourgeois media.«
CEEOL has re-digitized the journal (as far as issues were available), because we consider this specific point of view on Central and Eastern European Communism as a significant element of the contemporary approach to the reality in this part of Europe.
