Ideologija Organizacije jugoslovenskih nacionalista (Orjuna)

The article is dealing with the ideology of integral Yugoslavism of the Organization of Yugoslav Nationalists (Orjuna) during the time of its existence 1921-1929, approaching the topic from the perspective of the new cultural theories about fascism, which defines fascism as the ideology advocating the notion of the palingenetic national revolution. The article analyses Orjuna’s concept of the palingenetic national revolution, subsequently showing that the organization failed to develop in a fully blown fascist movement, due to the fact that it failed to constitute itself as the autonomous political agent tending to revolutionary overtaken of political power. Subsequently, the article is focused on the Orjuna’s central ideological concept of integral Yugoslav nation. It is shown that Orjuna, on the contrary to other fascist movement, was focus on the process of creation the new unitary Yugoslav nation. Hence, the analysis shows that the privileged position of Serb national mentality within the concept of Yugoslav unitarism is not mere and simple expression of Orjuna’s exclusive anti-Croatism, but originates from the labeling of the Croatian national-integration tradition to be inadequate ground for modeling of integral Yugoslav revolution, on the contrary to the Serb national mentality.
