Slovenian political thought is a relatively new topic in the wider history of the political science environment. European history has also seen many ethnical and national identities that are very young, with Slovenia being one of them. Although the first Slovenian political programme called United Slovenia was only an uncertain preamble, conflicts and shifts in the early and middle 20th century transformed the Slovenian political psyche and created fertile soil for the birth and development of the ‘national question’. Throughout this century of ideology and armed conflict, we followed the great names in Slovenian political history, like Lončar, Kidrič, Kocbek, Kardelj, Ude, Korošec and Bibič, all of whom left their mark on the national liberation struggle. Reflections on Osvobodilna fronta (OF) and its consequences can tell us much about the true roots of Slovenianness and Slovenian political thought
