The period of January 6th Dictatorship of suspended (octroyed) constitution, belong absolutely to hardest times of Croatian people history. Population of Podravina, just as the rest of other Croatian regions, had a great deal of first-hand repression from Serbian chauvinist unitarism, expressed mostly in prohibition of any Croatian national sentiment, frequent persecution, arrests, and police brutality. Hard economic situation additionally worsened life to suffering population from Podravina, who tried to go on with life, with a firm faith in better future. This paper aims to describe everyday life in Đurđevac county in the said period, mostly through chronology reports of local county leadership (today the documents are being kept at the Croatia’s State Archives in Zagreb), After the constitution had been suspended and a dictatorship introduced, political life in the county died away, and the only active politicians were those whom sympathized the regime. Opposition politicians withdrew from public life and mostly waited for better times for their activity.
