The Master’s thesis seeks to shed light on the inhabitants of the Sesana district immediately after the end of World War II, when the district came under the administration of the AMG, and the first years after its annexation to the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia in September 1947. After the annexation the district, as part of the ex-Zone A, merged with a part of the ex-Zone B of the Julian March and thus included Komen, Brkini and part of Istria. In the tense atmosphere of finding a solution to the Trieste question the renewal of culture and education took place, which is also the emphasis of this master’s thesis. It focuses in particular on the policy of culture and its association to mass amateur cultural activities that reflect the success or failure of the cultural policy. The thesis presumes that the cultural and educational activities as well as their content were significantly affected by the poor allied administration of the Sesana district as well as by the relations between the people’s government and the AMG. After the annexation, however, it presumes that the cultural activities intensified due to the first five-year economic plan of the FPRY. One of the key factors for the success of this plan was the organization of education, which before 1947 was one of the most notable centres of conflict of interests between the AMG and the Provincial National Liberation Committee for the Slovenian Littoral and Trieste.
