In 1966, the Slovenian Trieste writer Boris Pahor (1913–2022) founded the Zaliv magazine in 1966, which soon came into conflict with a former Yugoslav regime due to the articles published in it. The magazine has been published for 24 years, and during that time there have been many literary affairs and controversies related to it, which I will present in this article. The first of these is the collection of Pahor’s polemical articles and contributions Odisej ob jamboru, which was published in 1969, followed in 1975 by the magazine’s culmination, represented by Pahor’s collaboration with Edvard Kocbek and their publication of the infamous interview on the post-war extrajudicial killing of militants Edvard Kocbek: pričevalec našega časa. In the same year as the outcome of the interview, Viktor Blažič, a former journalist at Delo and Franc Miklavčič, judge of the Ljubljana District Court, were also sentenced to several years in prison for their articles published in Pahor's Zaliv.
