Sažetak
Podravina was among the regions, where Seljačka sloga had early developed its activity in culture and education, and kept spreading out to other regions of Croatia. This is why we find all 3 Podravina districts (Đurđevac, Koprivnica, Ludbreg) with relatively large number of sections with different activities (13 from the total of 216 that Seljačka sloga had by the year 1929). After it stopped its activities during the period of so-called Sixth January Dictatorship, Seljačka sloga was re-established in 1935. From that time, until 1941, Podravina had 55 chapters, either re-activated and the brand new ones. They provided a place for people of all age groups to gather around some activity (they particularly paid attention to attracting the young population); women too found their place, as otherwise their participation in the public life was still somewhat limited. Different activities covered educational efforts (literacy attempts, founding libraries and public reading places, lecture); restoration of farm life culture (peasants’ literature, choirs, tambouritza playing bands and performance groups, who promoted their activities at village gatherings and festivals of folk culture); legal and to somewhat lesser degree - economic initiatives (courts of honest and just men, co-operatives etc.). Podravina, up to a point, was specific, as it almost had no illiteracy to deal with, economic environment was of less importance than in other regions, since it had well developed co-operatives; however, it lacked the ability to comply to strict demands of Croatian Peasants Party, namely, to return to peasants’ folklore origins, as folk costumes and folk songs were almost abandoned.
