Sažetak
The collapse of Yugoslav socialism and the struggle to defend the newly independent Croatian state in the 1990s was accompanied by a systematic campaign to dismantle the former regime's historical narratives, cultural memory policies, and legitimating sites of memory. The end of the communist monopoly over interpretations of the past, particularly about the internecine bloodshed during World War Two, resulted in nationalist revisionism that created new political myths. This chapter examines the struggles over an important site of memory in Zagreb, Trg Žrtava Fašizma, during the turbulent first decade of Croatia's post-communist transition. The intersection of politics, commemorations, ideologically charged monuments, and a fledgling civil society movement that organized annual demonstrations protesting against the renaming of Trg Žrtava Fašizma illustrate the challenges the country has faced in coming to terms with the past, as well as finding a consensus about the future, since the historical turning point in 1991.
