Abstract<\/strong>
\nThe predominant \u201cstory\u201d about the Slovenian nationalism before the collapse of the SFRY is simple: The Slovenian nationalism (negative perception) or \u201cthe Slovenian spring\u201d (positive perception) \u201cappeared\u201d in the 1980s, it identified itself as \u201canti-Yugoslavism\u201d and reached the climax in 1991 with the Slovenian independence. Yet, historical sources \u2013 both archival and publicist \u2013 expose different story: the relation between Slovenian nationalism and Yugoslavism is much more ambiguous and complicated. Why is the Slovenian Yugoslavism of the 1980s a relevant topic for international com-parative historiography of the second Yugoslavia and its successor states? I would point out two reasons. First, I claim that Yugoslavism of any kind could not exist without Slovenianism, especially since the creation of the first Yugoslavia in 1918. The history of Slovenian Yugoslavism (or Slovenian nationalism in general) is not just relevant for \u201cthe Slovenian national historiography\u201d, without \u201cthe Slovenian component\u201d we cannot understand Yugoslavia or Yugoslavism in general, which could be understood only in historical context. Although almost all authors recognize the significance of the Slovenian-Serbian conflict for the Yugoslav collapse: they assign surprisingly little attention to Slovenian intellectual circles. They are almost always mentioned, but rarely properly analyzed. Secondly, most of historical analysis is preoccupied with the reasons for the collapse of the Yugoslavia. As H. Grandits and H. Sundhaussen have pointed out, if we research the history of a state that does not exist anymore, we unintentionally \u201csearch for\u201d elements of the past, which explain why the state had failed. This is also the reason why Slovenian historians \u2013 those who consider the methodology of the academic historiography \u2013 are mainly focused on the \u201cprocesses of independence\u201d or the \u201cprocesses of democratization\u201d. Slovenian Yugoslavism is not in the spotlight of attention, furthermore, it is mostly seen as an insignificant side-effect of the official Yugoslav ideology of \u201cbrotherhood and unity\u201d, not as something genuinely Slovenian.<\/p>\n
