It highlights groups and individuals who opposed the current state politics. Their actions shows aspects of political development of Croatia where not even the post revolutionary communist dictatorship could not eliminate the desire for a distinct national identity. The strategic anticommunist initiative was held by the Catholic Church. By the end of the 40's, the collectivization process caused political tensions among peasants. The followers of Radić and Maček found themselves on the anti-communist wing. However, these groups were not allowed any legal action and were constantly under surveillance by the effective communist system.
