THE HUSHED SIDE:
Slovenians in the midst of socialism-testimonies of memory impairment
The hushed page presents an overview of the Slovenian twentieth century with attachments in the present day. He understands it as a century of two socialisms – national (fascism, Nazism) and international (communism) – with one ideological core: the denial of nation, patriotism and freedom. Both versions rejected what is natural to man-love for his people with respect for others, which is best expressed by Presern's toast.
The foundation of most Slovenian delusions and tragedies 20. for centuries, this is how socialism in all its forms. The second war begins precisely because of the connection between Hitler and Stalin. The myth of the " decisive role of the party "in the NOB and of the" mandate of history " that its successors were supposed to have created a false cocoon that still allows the left disproportionate power today (from 1945 onwards, democratic alternatives governed the country for only 9 years). Public space, according to the author, is hijacked by the former party continuity. But this one is far from invincible, regardless of all the false mythology.
The book reveals how totalitarian ideologies have systematically clouded and abused the Slovene spiritual core. The outstanding sacrifice was Preseren himself-his baptism at Savica, a poem about spiritual rebirth and victory over death, was disguised in socialism as a display of defeat and resignation. The author proves the opposite: the baptism of Krzomir is not a surrender, but a conscious choice for Christianity, which allowed Slovenes to survive historically and enter the European circle of civilization.
The British people are in the 20th. in the XIX century it slipped from the Western (Habsburg, individualistic and civilizationally balanced) area into the eastern (Byzantine-Yugoslav) space of collectivism and totalitarianism. Independence in 1991 and the entry into the EU, euro and Schengen (1992-2007) represented a return to the natural path, which, however, is still under threat beyond the continuity of the socialist elites.
The most neuralgic point of the bloody century is precisely NOB. This, therefore, is presented to the book not as a heroic epic, but as a death dance of fury. Through the literature of Edvard Kocbek, Karl Destovnik – Kajuh and Vitomil Zupan, the author shows how the absolute reality of the partisan struggle was death: the liquidation of comrades-in-arms by party will, senseless military actions and the collective ontology of dying ("a million dying among the dead") are its fundamental determinants. All the great writers of the NOB testified to the same truth: the revolution brought the power of the party: death was its tool and the only winner. For 3,000 German soldiers (and 1,000 Italian) to fall, 90,000 Slovenes had to die, taking into account all the circumstances! Another 200,000, however, went permanently to political or economic emigration.
It was a revolution, not a liberation. The hushed side provides direct evidence of rough forms of collaboration of the partisan leadership with the German and Italian occupiers. Everything was dedicated to the goal: to come to power. Today is no different.
The conclusion of the hushed page is optimistic, despite the burning analysis: Slovenia remains a beautiful, prosperous and vital country. No casualties were in vain-neither those who fell in the war and post-war massacres, nor those who had to go to the exodus. The book calls for a return to truth, Christian roots and genuine patriotism to definitively close the chapter of socialist deception. The author is convinced that Slovenia will soon return to the object of its original love: to the principles of independence, through which it reached the zenith of its existence.

ZAMOLČANA STRAN:
Slovenci v precepu socializmov – pričevanja o okrnjenem spominu
Zamolčana stran predstavlja pregled slovenskega dvajsetega stoletja z nastavki v današnjem času. Razume ga kot stoletje dveh socializmov – nacionalnega (fašizem, nacizem) in internacionalnega (komunizem) – z enim idejnim jedrom: zanikanjem naroda, domoljubja in svobode. Obe različici sta zavračali tisto, kar je človeku naravno – ljubezen do svojega naroda ob spoštovanju drugih, kar najlepše izraža Prešernova Zdravljica.
Temelj večine slovenskih zablod in tragedij 20. stoletja je tako socializem v vseh svojih oblikah. Druga vojna se začne prav zaradi povezave med Hitlerjem in Stalinom. Mit o »odločilni vlogi partije« v NOB in o »mandatu zgodovine«, ki naj bi ga imeli njeni nasledniki, je ustvaril lažniv kokon, ki še danes omogoča levici nesorazmerno oblast (od 1945 dalje so demokratične alternative upravljale z državo le 9 let). Javni prostor je po avtorjevem mnenju ugrabljen s strani nekdanje partijske kontinuitete. A ta še zdaleč ni nepremagljiva, ne glede na vso lažno mitologijo.
Knjiga razkriva, kako so totalitarne ideologije sistematično zamegljevale in zlorabljale slovensko duhovno jedro. Izstopajoča žrtev je bil Prešeren sam – njegov Krst pri Savici, pesnitev o duhovnem preporodu in zmagi nad smrtjo, je bila v socializmu preobličena v prikaz poraza in resignacije. Avtor dokazuje nasprotno: Črtomirov krst ni vdaja, temveč zavestna odločitev za krščanstvo, ki je Slovencem omogočila zgodovinsko preživetje in vstop v evropski civilizacijski krog.
A slovenski narod je v 20. stoletju zdrsel iz zahodnega (habsburškega, individualističnega in civilizacijsko uravnoteženega) območja v vzhodni (bizantinsko-jugoslovanski) prostor kolektivizma in totalitarizma. Osamosvojitev leta 1991 in vstop v EU, evro in Schengen (1992–2007) so predstavljali vrnitev na naravno pot, ki pa je še vedno ogrožena preko kontinuitete socialističnih elit.
Najbolj nevralgična točka krvavega stoletja je prav NOB. Ta zato knjigi ni predstavljena kot herojska epopeja, temveč kot smrtni ples besov. Skozi literaturo Edvarda Kocbeka, Karla Destovnika – Kajuha in Vitomila Zupana avtor pokaže, kako absolutna resničnost partizanskega boja je bila smrt: likvidacije soborcev po partijski volji, nesmiselne vojaške akcije ter kolektivna ontologija umiranja (»milijon umirajočih med mrliči«) so njegove temeljne določilnice. Vsi veliki pisci NOB so pričali o isti resnici: revolucija je prinesla oblast partije: smrt je bila njeno orodje in edini zmagovalec. Da je padlo 3.000 nemških vojakov (in 1.000 italijanskih) je moralo umreti, upoštevaje vse okoliščine, 90.000 Slovencev! Še 200.000 pa jih je za vedno odšlo v politično ali ekonomsko emigracijo.
Pri tem je šlo za revolucijo, ne za osvobajanje domovine. Zamolčana stran prinaša neposredne dokaze o grobih oblikah kolaboriranja partizanskega vodstva z nemškim in italijanskim okupatorjem. Vse je bilo namreč posvečeno cilju: priti na oblast. Tudi danes ni nič drugače.
Zaključek Zamolčane strani je kljub perečim analizam optimističen: Slovenija ostaja lepa, uspešna in vitalna dežela. Nobena žrtev ni bila zaman – ne tistih, ki so padli v vojni in povojnih pobojih, ne tistih, ki so morali v eksodus. Knjiga kliče po vrnitvi k resnici, krščanskim koreninam in pristnemu domoljubju, da se dokončno zapre poglavje socialističnih prevar. Avtor je prepričan, da se bo Slovenija kmalu vrnila k predmetu svoje prvotne ljubezni: k osamosvojitvenim načelom, s pomočjo katerih je dosegla zenit svojega bivanja.
