The Liberation Front of the Slovene Nation (

Communist Party of Slovenia. In May 1941, weeks into the German occupation of Yugoslavia, in the first wartime issue of the illegal newspaper Slovenski poročevalec (Slovenian Reporter), members of the organization criticized the German regime and described Germans as imperialists.[8] They started raising money for a liberation fund via the second issue of the newspaper published on 8 June 1941.[9] When Germany attacked the Soviet Union, the Anti-Imperialist Front was formally renamed[10][11][12] and became the main anti-fascist Slovene civil resistance and political organization under the guidance and control of the Slovene communists. It was active in the Slovene Lands during World War II. Its military arm was the Slovene Partisans. The organisation was established in the Province of Ljubljana on 26 April 1941 in the house of the literary critic Josip Vidmar.[13] Its leaders were Boris Kidrič and Edvard Kardelj

Programme

The programme of the Fronta was outlined by the following fundamental points:

Internal political situation

Although the Front originally consisted of multiple political groups of left-wing orientation, including some

Communist Party of Slovenia started to grow, until the founding groups signed the so-called Dolomite Declaration (Dolomitska izjava), giving the exclusive right to organize themselves as a political party only to the communists, on 1 March 1943.[16]

On 3 October 1943, on the session, known as Assembly of the Delegates of the Slovene Nation, which was held in Kočevje by the 572 directly elected and 78 indirectly elected members, the 120-member plenum was constituted as the highest civil governing organ of anti-fascist movement in Slovenia during the World War II.[citation needed]

After the war, the Liberation Front was transformed into the

Socialist Alliance of the Working People of Slovenia.[17]

External political activity

On 19 February 1944, the 120-member

Yugoslav federation.[18]

Just before the end of the war, on May 5, 1945, the SNOS met for the last time in the town of

Kingdom of Italy) and established the Slovenian government with Boris Kidrič as its president.[19]

The Liberation Front led an intensive and specific propaganda system. It printed flyers, bulletins and other material to persuade people about its cause and slander the occupying fascist forces and local nazi collaborators who were supported by the Catholic Church.[20] The Front's radio, called Kričač (Screamer), was the only one of its kind in the occupied Europe. It emitted from various locations and occupying forces confiscated the receivers' antennas from the local population in order to prevent listening to it.[citation needed]

Slovene Partisans

Main article: Slovene Partisans

The Slovene Partisans were the armed wing of the Liberation Front,

guerilla and later as an army. It was mostly ethnically homogenous and primarily communicated in Slovene.[15] These two features have been considered vital for its success.[15] It was the first Slovene military force.[15] Its most characteristic symbol was the Triglav cap.[15][22] Contrary to elsewhere in Yugoslavia, where on the freed territories the political life was organized by the military itself, the Slovene Partisans were subordinated to the civil political authority of the Front.[21] The partisan activities in Slovenia were initially independent of Tito's Partisans in the south. The merger of the Slovene Partisans with Tito's forces happened in 1944.[23][24]

The Front's name

It has been traditionally claimed by Slovene historians that the term Anti-Imperialist Front was the first to occur.

Comintern.[28]
