Slovak Office for Press and Information

The archival fund of the Slovak Office for Press and Information (Slovenský úrad pre tlač a informácie, SÚTI) stored in the Slovak National Archive in Bratislava, contains a wide range of material dedicated to mechanisms of ideological control over mass media during the years 1968 to 1988. The collections of journalistic analyses and various forms of media assessments are especially significant for research in the field of cultural opposition. The fund enables an undistorted overview of critical reports of media accomplishments, those which did not conform to the new, “consolidating” principles. The SÚTI fund thus demonstrates not only the gradual establishment of a new ideological orientation of the Czechoslovak Communist Party but also indicates its questionable adoption by official press bodies.

Slovenian State Security Administration's Surveillance of Maks Samec, ad hoc collection

The collection of the Slovenian State Security Administration's (UDB-a) surveillance materials about Maks Samec illustrates the mechanism and extent of control exercised by the UDB-a against a Slovenian scientist (chemist) of the older generation (Maks Samec). After 1945, Samec was perceived as an irreplaceable scientist, but also politically suspect, even a potential political and ideological adversary, so he was placed under surveillance.

Smiljana Rendić Collection

The Smiljana Rendić Collection is stored at the Archdiocesan Archives in Zagreb. The collection documents the cultural and opposition work of Croatian journalist and intellectual Smiljana Rendić. The collection is particularly important to learning about the existence of the Catholic "underground" in socialist Croatia, which included an entire network of Catholic lay people who gathered around the Catholic Church and were opposed to the regime and its official ideology.
