Product Description
Following the death of the Yugoslavian strongman President Tito in 1980, the several semi-autonomous republics and provinces that he had welded into a nation in 1945 moved inexorably towards separation. After a deceptively clean break for independence by Slovenia in 1991, the world watched a series of other wars rip through this modern European state. In this first of two volumes, experts on the Balkan region give an unprecedentedly clear, concise explanation of the Slovene, Croatian and Krajina-Serb armies of these campaigns, illustrated with rare photos and an extraordinary range of colour uniform plates. ...

The charterhouse was founded between 1155 and 1165, and is the oldest Carthusian monastery in Slovenia. It was also the first Carthusian foundation in the German sphere of influence of the time, and indeed the first outside France or Italy. The monastery was also famous for having one of the oldest pharmacies on the territory of Slovenia. ie Charterhouse was founded between 1155 and 1165 by Margrave Ottokar III of Styria, and his son Duke Ottokar IV of Styria, of the house of Traungau, both of whom were buried there. The monastery was settled by Carthusian monks from the Grande Chartreuse in France (Ecclesia Maior), which also financed the construction, led by Master Aynard, and influenced the arrangement of the premises. As with French charterhouses two monasteries were built here: the upper one (ie Charterhouse), where the cloister monks lived according to the strict rule of the Carthusians; and the lower one in the village of pitali for the lay monks, who spent less time in prayer and worked as craftsmen: their work gave support to the upper monastery and its prosperity. The monastery church of Saint John the Baptist was consecrated on 24 October 1190, by patriarch Bertold of Aquileia. At the time of the Great Schism in the western Roman Catholic church in the 14th century, ie Charterhouse becam... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18883788 ... Read more

As the Empire began to collapse during 1918, Slovenian aircrew and ground crew switched their allegiance to the newly independent Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Aircraft found on Slovenian territory where taken over by the Slovenian authorities and formed into a fledgling air arm. The new air arm was soon involved in the conflict with Austria over the border provinces of Carinthia and south Styria. Later in 1919, the Slovenian air units were absorbed into the national Yugoslavia air force. In 1968 a reserve volunteer force, the Teritorialna Obramba (Territorial Defence of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia), was established to defend local key locations in time of crisis.

Provides policy prescription rather than useless analysis
Petrin, named Finance Minister of Slovenia about a year ago (in March or April, 1999), is a well respected economist in Slovenia; her views on restructuring the economy of the most successful and prosperous formerCommunist country, Slovenia, are set forth in this brief book. What isstriking about this book is, first of all, that Petrin advocatesrestructuring the economy slowly, not with shock therapy that has been soprevalent (and unsuccessful) in other parts of Eastern Europe. Petrin showsevidence that this approach has paid off for Slovenia, which is now on theinside track to European Union membership. The second unique aspect ofPetrin's book is that she deals with specific parts of restructuring, suchas privatization in Slovenian industry, and she prescribes specific policysolutions for making transition successful within the existing economicframework. ...

Excerpt: The five-pointed red star, a pentagram without the inner pentagon, is a symbol of communism as well as broader socialism in general. It is sometimes understood to represent the five fingers of the worker's hand, as well as the five continents. A lesser known suggestion is that the five points on the star were intended to represent the five social groups that would lead Russia to communism: the youth, the military, the industrial labourers, the agricultural workers or peasantry, and the intelligentsia. It was one of the emblems, symbols, and signals representing the Soviet Union under the rule of the Communist Party, along with the hammer and sickle. The symbol is currently banned in some countries as a symbol of Soviet occupations, state terror and a totalitarian ideology. The star's origins in a mass political movement are found in the Russian civil war and the end of the First World War, though the creator is unknown. It is most often thought that Russian troops fleeing from the Austrian and German fronts found themselves in Moscow in 1917 and mixed with the local Moscow garrison. To distinguish the Moscow troops from the influx of retreating Russians the officers gave out tin stars to the Moscow garrison soldiers, to wear on their hats. When those troops joined the Red Army and the Bolsheviks they painted their tin stars red, the color of socialism, thus creating the original red star. Another claimed origin for the red star relates to an alleged encounter between Leon Trotsky and Nikolai Krylenko. Krylenko, an Esperantist, was wearing a green star lapel badge; Trotsky enquired as to its meaning and received an explanation that each arm of the star represented one of the five traditional continents. On hearing this, he specified that a sim... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=738596 ... Read more
