Sažetak
Slovenian-Croatian relations are complex processes realized on different levels and
realized to a large extent by people who connect both cultures. The paper therefore
deals with Slovenes who spent part of their lives in Croatian territories, studied
at Croatian educational institutions or worked as teachers in the school system
when both nations were part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The article gives
an overview of the most important works on the topic of Slovene-Croatian
relations and emphasizes the approach that takes into account people that each
author considers important for the Croatian and Slovene community respectively.
Although work on monitoring Slovenian-Croatian relations has intensified in
recent decades, a more complex overview of this topic is still lacking. The aim of
the work is to determine the reasons why individuals came to work in Croatian
high schools, whether and in what ways they excelled in their work and in what
ways they influenced the environment in which they found themselves. Analyzing
the life and work of individual Slovenian high school teachers, it can be concluded
that they came to the Croatian regions on duty, mainly because they could
not choose their place of service or because they could not solve their existential
problems on the territory of Slovenia. Most of the immigrant professors found
their feet in the new environment and influenced the local and wider social and
cultural context through their activities, often emphasizing national identity (Croatian
and/or Slovene) as an important part of their activities. In this way, particularly
those professors who attracted public attention through their activities and
extracurricular activities and interests, such as writers, musicians, and painters,
fitted into the environment into which they had moved and became respectable
and recognized members of the community. Although they practiced their work
professionally, a certain number of these people longed to return to Slovenia and
pursue their interests in their home country. The second group of people whose
life and work is analyzed in the work are Slovenes who did not find their way
in the environment to which they moved, openly expressed their dissatisfaction
and actively worked on Croatian territory to leave. The activities of selected individuals
are largely known from the press and literature, but also from August
Šenoa's literary work. From this it can be concluded that the Slovenian teachers
and professors who moved to the Croatian territories shaped the community they
came to through their activities, they contributed to the creation and strengthening
of Slovenian-Croatian relations by have respected the specificities of the researched and that this work provides an incentive for further research into the
complex human fates of Slovene persons who migrated to Croatian territories.
