P. B. von Sydačoff was a conservatively oriented publicist who believed that the main role of the Habsburg Monarchy lied towards the East and in the Balkans. He saw the Yugoslav movement as another manifestation of the Panslavist Russia. The propagators of the Austrian idea in the Balkans were supposedly the Catholic Croatians, while he ascribed the Serbians with anti Habsburg tendencies, based on the Russian support. He also saw the Slovenian Panslavism as negative. Sydačoffs theories were based on the German Austrian stereotypes about the Slavic nations and the "Panslavist conspiracy".

The State of SHS, established on 29 October 1918, immediately faced the problems of security and defence due to the instability of the wider geographical space. The armed forces, seen as self evident and necessary in the sense of social co existence, were created from the top. The formation of the army was not an easy task. The obstacles during the mobilisation of servicemen included weariness due to a long recent war and the dubious legitimacy of the new state. Furthermore, the new authorities did not exactly trust some of the officer staff from the former Austro Hungarian Army.

The discussion focuses on the standpoints of the liberal politics with regard to the issue of the national co existence in the context of the Weimar Republic and the Kingdom of SHS. The German liberals in the single nation Weimar community solved the issue by employing the principle of a decentralised unitarian state, while the Slovenian liberals, for the good of the national co existence in a multi national Yugoslav community, contributed significantly to the constitutional implementation of the Yugoslav national integralism and state centralism.

The discussion presents the Italian fascist occupation policy in the territory of the Ljubljana Province during World War II. The long term goal of the Italian authorities, which resorted to various forms of violence (internment, imprisonment, execution of hostages and civilians), was to ensure the gradual assimilation of the Slovenian population. The fascist authorities were responsible for the death of around 6500 people, almost half of these civilians. In the whole Slovenian victimological overview the percentage of Italian violence amounts to 6.7 %.

The discussion presents the fates of critical intellectuals (forced retirement, imprisonment, life in emigration, bans on the printing of their works, etc.) in Slovenia between 1945 and 1990, when the communist regime used a variety of means to prevent the seeking of alternative political directions. A wide gap formed between the socially critical intellectuals and the reality of the socialist system. The intellectual "opposition" could not express direct demands for the changes of the state system and a greater respect for human rights.
