Črtomir Nagode

In memoriam

Slovenian politician and geographer. In May 1941 he founded the Old Rights Party (Slovenian: Stara pravda), which brought together intellectuals opposed to the Nazi and Fascist takeover of Yugoslavia. The party was admitted to the communist-led Liberation Front and played a role in its leadership. However, it opposed the subordination of all parties to the Communist Party and also opposed the liquidations of Slovenians carried out by the communist security forces. As a result, the Old Rights Party was expelled from the Liberation Front in 1942. Nagode's attempts to revive the Liberal Party after the war resulted in him being charged with enemy activity against the communist authorities. He was arrested, charged as a spy and imperialist agent, and sentenced to death during the show trial known as the "Nagode Trial" in 1947. His family was denied access to his body and his home in Ljubljana was looted and then seized. Permission to engrave Nagode's name on a grave marker was denied until 1977. In 1991 the Slovenian Supreme Court overturned the conviction on the grounds that it was based on false accusations and a corrupt trial process. The Nagode home was returned to the family in 2003.
