AUS DER WELT DER SÜDSLAWEN. Politisches, Historisches, Sozialistisches, nebst zwei Südslawienfahrten und Nachdichtungen südslawischer Lyrik

Author(s): Carl Max Ludwig Hermann Wendel / Language(s): German

published by: J. H.W.DIETZ NACHFOLGER, BERLIN //When Friedrich FG Kleinwächter says in his far too little read, very informative book “The Downfall of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy” that Europe knew more about Japan and India than about the South Slavic countries of the Habsburg Empire, the South-Slavic world still today is not in the bright midday light of being known. // In Germany, too, there is often an almost encyclopedic ignorance about the southern Slavs, although they come across our tribal territory on a broad front and one day they will also be our border neighbors in the state; Gone are the days when a Jakob Grimm, an Alexander v. Humboldt, a Leopold v. Ranke were eager to gain an understanding of South Slavic matters. // This regrettable fact - more regrettable for us than for the southern Slavs - justifies the summary and publication of treatises which, whether they have been in "Society" or "Wage", Viennese, workers' Newspaper ”,“ Frankfurter Zeitung ”or“ Prager Presse ”have appeared, are based on knowledge of the subject, strive to penetrate the subject matter and are carried by the will to objectivity.

In 1931, the Serbian Royal Academy decided to open a new department for historical material from the Dalmatian archives in its "Proceedings for the History, Language and Literature of the Serbian People". Liber notariare, with material from 1336—1421, paid special attention to the Dubrovnik archives. age and diversity of material stands out in the first place among the archives in our country. // Just as Dubrovnik today attracts the attention of every traveler with its position and appearance, so its past is strange, very changeable and always interesting. Dubrovnik, like many other towns on the east coast of the Adriatic, developed near the end of a turbulent period of migration. Then the population of the old Epidaurus (Cavtat) took refuge in the inaccessible place of Dubrovnik, whose cliffs fall vertically into the sea, and which is protected on the dry side by the high hill of St. Srđa od Brgata. The Roman population of Dubrovnik was instructed from the first beginnings in navigation and trade, but very early it developed a lively action to expand its territory beyond the tame and fertile surroundings of Župa, Rijeka and Šumet. Thus, Romanesque Dubrovnik came into contact with the neighboring South Slavic tribes very early, and during the 10th, 11th and 12th centuries it developed safe and fast, while Latin remained the official language of the state and the church during the Middle Ages. // THIS VOLUME HAS BEEN PUBLISHED in 1934 by the SERBIAN ROYAL ACADEMY as Volume III, Book II of its series ЗБОРНИК.

Due to its geographical position and centuries-old connections with the foreign world, Dubrovnik was able to collect very interesting data about the own country as well as many other countries and to archive important historical documents. In the archives of their country, the people of Dubrovnik very early began to keep it carefully and keep it in order. That is why today the Dubrovnik Archive preserves the most important and numerous sources not only for the knowledge of our domestic history, but also for the examination of the past of a large part of the Balkan countries. // This volume is part of the project of the Serbian Royal Academy to systematically publish all important series of historical documents of the Dubrovnik Archives. This priceless and immense treasure will bring new light to many issues of our national and general history, and will certainly give a strong impetus not only to domestic, but also to general historical science. The Dubrovnik Archive and its centuries-old wealth of documents will only now receive the price it deserves. Scientists from all over the world can equally and completely use what the Archive hides. True, some of all this has been published so far, but, with rare exceptions, it has been unsystematic and incomplete. Either parts of individual series or only documents related to certain issues were taken. Complete series, without any releases, are only now starting to be published, and thus save from eventual decay. // THIS VOLUME HAS BEEN PUBLISHED in 1935 by the SERBIAN ROYAL ACADEMY as Volume III, Book IV of its series ЗБОРНИК.

K PITANJU O ULOZI LIČNOSTI U ISTORIJI

LA QUESTION YOUGOSLAVE

Author(s): Auguste Gauvain / Language(s): French

The lack of interest is one of the causes of the most serious mistakes made by the Triple Entente in recent years. Its leading men, civilians and soldiers alike, realized neither the material and moral value of the forces moving in the eastern Adriatic, nor how they should be used. They took into consideration neither the warnings, nor the designs, nor the protests of the representatives of the peoples commonly known as the Balkan, although many of them had nothing in common with the Balkans. Even in a democracy, our ministers preserved the old customs of the great courts; they preferably discussed with the ambassadors of the great consecrated powers and, while showing the other heads of mission outward respect or cordiality, attached little importance to their conversation. As a result, they lost valuable opportunities to learn about things they had not been taught in their youth and which they subsequently neglected to study. They relied more on second- or third-hand intelligence, transmitted by agents who wished to please them by entering into their supposed views, than direct information from qualified foreigners with a deep knowledge of the country and the affairs they came to discuss. They were warned against men whom they held to be interested in speaking in a certain sense, though that interest might match our own. Unfortunately, the concordances were poorly discerned, even in Russia. Despite their status as Slavs, Russian ministers did not understand Yugoslav affairs any better than their Western colleagues. We will be amazed later, when it is revealed what ignorance some of the most eminent of them showed on this subject. The consequences of such errors are too terrible for us not to try to enlighten the public on a question which, by the inevitable chain of circumstances, is now at the forefront of European politics.

La Yougoslavie d’aujourd’hui

Author(s): Vukašin Životić / Language(s): French

Published in 1935 by the press-department of the Yugoslav Ministry for Foreign Affaires // Author (Head of the department) writes as introduction: During the three years of my presence at the head of the press section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I had the opportunity to find myself in contact with a large number of eminent representatives from other countries, coming to ask for various information on Yugoslavia and its activity in all fields. These frequent contacts have thus made me aware of what kind of questions foreign circles are particularly interested in Yugoslavia, its institutions, its political and economic organization. The experience gained during my career has encouraged me to write a sufficiently documented work that can satisfy the desires of benevolent strangers, anxious to obtain the objective and accurate information they need and to have, as an introduction to Yugoslav life, a manual which is not too incomplete. In taking on this initiative, I have carefully designed the scope and scope of this book, and, after several months of work, " La Yougoslavie d’aujourd’hui " has just been published. I leave it to others to judge the success of my business. For my part, I can only say that I have made every effort to ensure that this work achieves the goal I set for myself. I would like here to express my thanks to all the friends and collaborators who, either through their advice or through their work, have assisted me in writing this volume.

LES SERBES CROATES ET SLOVÈNES

Author(s): Pierre-Augustin Chaboseau / Language(s): French

As for the historical claims, we will certainly be happy when chance establishes an absolute or relative agreement between them and the new route, but there will be, in short, only aesthetic satisfaction. Today's world has neither the time nor the inclination to perpetuate the memory of more or less ancient spoliations, of more or less long usurpations. One of the essential conceptions which inspire the increasing efforts at the present time to organize an unprecedented international regime, is precisely that by virtue of which the so-called rights acquired by arms are held to be null. Finally and above all, whenever the reconciliation of systems based on geographical unity, the homogeneity of race, language, religion, the needs of military or naval defense, agricultural, industrial, commercial resources, has failed in the face of impossibilities or an excess of difficulties, the solution of the problem will be required from the popular will. There is one principle that dominates all others in our time. It is this, for example, much more than the principle of nationalities, which makes legitimate, sacred, in the eyes of all people of good sense and good faith, of all honest people, the aspirations of Alsace and from Lorraine, Slesvig, Transilvanie, Trentino. We propose to study, in the following chapters, what Yugoslavia can and should be for anyone who refers to the above ideas and feelings. (from author's introduction)

Tito, der rote Rebell und seine »vollkommene Demokratie«

Author(s): Bruno Mlinaric / Language(s): German

…At the same time, with what may be the last job I have left to do, I would like to try to make up for what I have sinned against my fellow man in the long years since I was an enthusiastic communist by - unsuspecting what I was doing - them as one of Moscow's most active servants unwillingly and unwillingly handed over to the red executioners. I sacrificed the best years of my life for communism and stood up for my convictions in prisons and concentration camps. For I always believed that communism would bring freedom to my people and free the world from the grave shortcomings of old society. I believed the promises of the "leaders" in Moscow that with the Bolshevization of my country free competition would begin immediately, that the able would win, that there would then be no more unemployment and exploiters and that we could live without coercion and free from fear. // ... // But I understand you, comrades, if you only get angry with me, the "traitor". I, too, was deaf to all arguments - until the enforcers of the military revolution came and built their rule. So, I threw everything down and left ... // At least check the facts and think about what to deduce from them. There is also the "Unknown Soldier" who fell with millions of his own kind in the struggle for freedom since Moscow became the center of the world revolution. My book is dedicated to his memory, which may soon be the testament of a stranger if I am tracked down and "finished off" with a shot in the neck or a strand. You know how to do that.

YUGOSLAVIA

Author(s): / Language(s): English

FIFTEEN historians, political scientists, and other scholars have contributed chapters to this book, designed to introduce contemporary Yugoslavia to the general reader. The result is uneven. This reviewer feels that bad judgment has occasionally been displayed in the choice of materials. Many of the individual chapters, on the other hand, are highly rewarding. // The historical chapters, by R. J. Kerner, B. E. Schmitt, and J. C. Adams, resemble tightly packed summaries of these authors’ previous books and articles. These were important contributions but were intended for specialists. The impropriety of including them here in this form is glaring, since their inclusion has apparently necessitated the exclusion of material more important for the beginning student of Yugoslavia. Of the seventy pages on “historical background” more than fifty deal with the origins, course, and aftermath of the First World War. Almost no space is devoted to the medieval period or to the period of Turkish domination: nowhere in the book, for example, can one find a clear statement of what happened at the battle of Kosovo, June 28, 1389, or of the implications of the Serbian defeat, though scholars generally agree that this is the critical moment of Serbian history from the psychological as well as from the military point of view. Nowhere is there an analysis by a historian of the Byzantine influence on the Serbs (although we are repeatedly told that it existed), nowhere a full discussion of the role played by the Orthodox Church in the development of nationalism. Yet we have a full statement of the types and quantities of ammunition available to the Serbian army in July, 1914, and a rehearsal of differences of opinion between the “academic” and “nonacademic” members of the American delegation at the peace conference. Some of this distortion is removed by the excellent brief chapter of Alex Dragnich, on “Social Structure”, which, alone in the book, gives due weight to the earlier period.

Уставно питање у Југославији

Author(s): Jovo Jakšić / Language(s): Bosnian

A lot is being said and written about the Croatian issue. Many ask themselves and others: what is the Croatian question? No matter how well a person was informed about this issue, and no matter how well-intentioned he was, this question cannot be answered in a few words. Because, the Croatian question, in fact, means the Constitutional question of the whole country, the most important part of the question. In the history of nations and states, numerous constitutional struggles have been waged between individual classes, classes, dynasties, peoples and regions. But guided in on special occasions and other times, each of these struggles had something special, and could not be fully compared with the constitutional struggle of another time, or another people.
