Anti-Fascist Struggle Day (
Fascist Italy and their puppet state―Independent State of Croatia
.
The
Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) received orders from the Moscow-based Comintern to come to the Soviet Union's aid.[1]
The public holiday was introduced by the Croatian Parliament in 1991.[2] It replaced a similar commemoration on the 27th of July, the "Day of the Uprising of the People of Croatia", that had been an official holiday in the Socialist Republic of Croatia and alluded to the Srb uprising.[3] The Srb uprising, alongside the Anti-Fascist Struggle Day, is still commemorated today by antifascist organizations and representatives of minority communities which were the target of persecution during the World War II, albeit not as much as the official holiday.
