Instrumental Value Of Elite Memories On Past Violence During The Emergence Of A New State: Slovenian Experience, Anton Kramberger, Ana Barbič, Katja Boh
Anton Kramberger
The chapter touches upon the trauma of emerging from subordination to the past (communist) regime of some members (nearly 40 per cent) of the new Slovenian elite. The experienced subordination, including political maltreatment, imprisonment, or confiscation of their assets and/or property is important not only during the regime change (1988-1992) but also in any analysis of contemporary Slovenian political situation for these memories are rather regularly triggered in the public sphere. They frame unsettled contemporary political culture of the country and feed today’s discernable distrust of political authorities.
