Abstract
Summary
In this article, the author deals with the causes and consequences of the attacks on state officials and merchants Ciglar and Žukina in Gornja Stubica during the peasant riots caused by the branding of cattle in 1920. For this purpose, the mentioned rebellion, with an emphasis on the area of the district of Donja Stubica, is used as a context for the described events, i. e. as a tool in the process of their explanation. Using archival material compiled for the purposes of the victims' complaint due to the delay of promised compensation in 1923, and drawing parallels with similar situations in other places in northwestern Croatia, the author concludes that the causes of the attack of the Ciglar and Žukina families were multifaceted, comprising of general dissatisfaction with the new regime, but also of accumulated intolerance towards its local representatives. Finally, the emphasis is placed on the discrepancy between the self-representation of the injured parties in the letters to the authorities in Belgrade and the real situation in the area of their activities.
