Abstract
In the background of the turbulent sociopolitical events linked with the Croatian Spring, different initiatives with the aim of (re)affirmation of the Kajkavian cultural identity have been appearing in the northwest Croatian regions at the end of the 1960s. First we are going to present all these initiatives (associations, periodicals, recitals) and then analyze their influence on the Kajkavian literature and language in this paper. Concerning the numerousness of the projects that have been appearing in the period of the Kajkavian Spring (1968-1971), at the end of the paper we conclude that the new blooming of the Kajkavian literature and culture happened in that period. As the most valuable initiative we have recognized Kaj periodical, which has inspired all other projects and was the only one completely specialized for the Kajkavian literature and culture.
