Fran Radešček: Impact of Emigrant's Experience from 1911 up to 1921 upon His World-View Determination
Irena Gantar Godina
Sažetak
The article is a survey of Fran Radešček's temporary emigration in the years from 1911 up to 1921, although it is partly incomplete due to several gaps in his biography up to 1921. There were many hidden opponents of his political »struggle«, particularly on the part of the then Slovene political elite (Hribar, Tavčar); they had the power to »deport« him but never publicly declared their demands. Thus one could trace only indirect evidence. Due to these gaps and the fact that it will be permitted to open his personal archive only in 2008, it still remains for his biography to be supplemented. Nevertheless, it has been possible – at least partly – to reconstruct the era of his temporary emigration in the Czech lands and in Serbia. Radešček's life in Kolin and Prague only stimulated him for political work in his homeland, which he began as early as in 1907 in Trieste and continued after 1910 in Ljubljana. He was decisively influenced by the Czech politician Vaclav Jaroslav Klofač. Radešček's foundation of the National-Socialist Party in 1911 was a result of his strong inclination towards Klofač's political affiliation. This was one of the indirect arguments for his being expelled from the Slovene society/community. His second departure from his homeland was also a result of the then Slovene political conditions and relations. And last, but not least, his stubborn character also played a part. At first he was content to move to a »Slavic« country, Serbia, but he returned home – in 1921 – not only disappointed, but also a completely different person in political and ideological terms. The burdens of his disappointments could be noticed in all his articles published after 1921. As an ardent sympathiser of the Yugo-Slav idea, he found the new State in striking contrast to his expectations.
