Literature and Censorship: Who is Afraid of the Truth of Literature?If there had been more opportunities to discuss, examine, and resolveother political problems on the stage, Yugoslavia could have succeededas a democratic country. Perhaps this argument sounds utopian, but I ampersuaded that, had it not been for the fear of repression, many politicalproblems that existed in Yugoslavia could have been solved in a differentmanner. This is also true of nationalism. A truly free society simultaneouslyallows and undermines such sentiments and ways of thinking. Recenthistory has taught us that Yugoslavia went from one sort of repressionto many smaller models of repression, sometimes even more violent andintolerant than the first.248Notes1 The notorious Article 133, section 1, of the Criminal Law of the Socialist Federal Republicof Yugoslavia (Službeni list SFRJ, no. 40/77), stated that: “Whosoever by means of writing,leaflet, drawing, spoken word, or in some other way calls for or incites the abolition ofthe rule of the working class and working people, unconstitutional changes to the socialistself-management system, the breakdown of brotherhood and unity and equality of nationsand nationalities, the abolition of self-management organs or their executive bodies, resistanceagainst the decisions of the appropriate organs of government and self-managementrelations, the security or defence of the country, or with ill intent and false representationof social and political circumstances in the country, will be sentenced to a term of imprisonmentof one to ten years.”2Similar “methods” were later used in Serbia during Milošević's regime. Although neverarrested, many pacifist activists, intellectuals, and artists were ignored, isolated, or stigmatizedas traitors, depending on their political involvement, influence, and power.3 Yugoslavia did not have a rich record of supporting activities that the West deemed anecessary component of “serious” dissident activity: samizdats, free universities, and “theatres”in private apartments; committees for helping unjustly dismissed workers; groupsthat aided political prisoners and their families; systematic cooperation with the democraticpress in the West – all these were scarcely practiced.4 Censorship in Yugoslav film was institutionalized immediately after the war with the1945 Decree on Censoring Cinema Films (Službeni list, no. 57/45 and 16/46). It introducedcensorship of all domestic and foreign films, and the censoring body was the Federal Ministryfor Education and Culture in Belgrade. This regulation remained in power, with minorchanges, until 1965, after which some Yugoslav republics had their own Commissionsfor Examination of Films, while others extended these duties to councils and self-managementbodies of film companies involved in film production and distribution.5 The play was eventually produced for the first time in Ljubljana (1981), then in Bel Belgrade(1985), and finally in several cities throughout Yugoslavia, although its Zagreb premierecame only in 1989.6Such is the case with the Slovenian theatre group Oder 57. Their conception of theSuch is the case with the Slovenian theatre group Oder 57. Their conception of theaesthetic and political struggle tended to be narcissistic, uncompromising, vindictive, andguerrilla-like, but also romantic. They considered artistic and intellectual freedom the onlycondition for a free, prosperous, and civilized life. Some claim that it occurred too early inYugoslav society (Kermauner) to achieve long-lasting and significant social changes. Thegeneral opinion was that the destruction of Oder 57 had a profoundly damaging effect on

After the destruction of Oder 57, a whole generation in Sloveniaexperienced feelings of defeat, betrayal, guilt, and moral uneasiness. However, their mostimportant legacy is the creation of new experimental groups that flourished at least in the60s and 70s (Pupilija Ferkeverk Theatre, Pekarna, Glej Experimental Theatre, etc.) and thedevelopment of authors such as Rudi Šeligo, Dušan Jovanović, Mile Korun, and others.WORKS CITEDBijela knjiga.
