abstract = "Студентска побуна у новембру 1973. против војне диктатуре у Грчкој, обележила је почетак краја репресивног режима уведеног пучем
1967. године. Иако угушена бруталном војном и полицијском оружаном репресијом, када је убијено двадесет троје лица а неколико стотина било рањено или ухапшено, показала је у огољеном облику, праву природу пуковничке
диктатуре и наговестила њен пад. Студентски покрет у Грчкој, посматра се
и као специфичан део таласа побуне која је покренута 1968. године на европским универзитетима, укључујући Универзитет у Београду, са далекосежним последицама на грчку политичку сцену., Military dictatorship in Greece introduced after the coup in 1967, was (an
anachronistic) part of the Cold War and the crisis that encompassed the area of
the Eastern Mediterranean at the second part of 1960es. The colonel’s repressive,
anti-democratic, rigid anti-communist regime also had a negative impact on
Greece’s relations with its Balkan neighbors. Turbulent political developments
in Yugoslavia’s southern neighborhood were in Belgrade followed with great at tention. Yugoslav sympathies for democratic opposition in Greece ranged from
occasional media criticism of repression in Greece, including the activation of
the “Macedonian issue” to active (more or less discreet) political and material
support for opposition groups in exile. Instead of members of the Communist
Party of Greece (for the country), contacts were established with the leaders of
the civil opposition abroad, launching diplomatic actions to help the arrested
oppositionists. Since the early 1970s Yugoslav diplomacy paid increasing attention to the
emergence of new centers of intellectual and political opposition in the ranks of
the young generation, who grew up in the shadow of colonel’s repression, especially at Greek universities. This new opposition factor was given more importance with the hope that, unlike the dissenting and indecisive civil opposition as
well as between divided left it would bring the fresh strength and determination
needed to overthrow the dictatorship. The culmination of student resistance over
attempts of colonel’s regime to extend control at universities and quell any resistance triggered rebellion at Athens University in November 1973. The strike and
the blockade of the Athens Polytechnic were broken by the brutal action of the
army and police, when 23 protesters were killed; several hundred students and
citizens who supported the protesters were wounded or arrested. This action, with
its open brutality, exposed all the weakness of the regime, which lost its last supports in the country, including in the part of the army, and provoked protests and
pressure from abroad. Student resistance with its high price in casualties signaled
the beginning of the fall of the regime, which ended its seven years dictatorship
the following year. Tragic events in Athens in November 1973 gained open sym pathy in the Yugoslavia and were assessed as a hint of imminent change, the collapse of the repressive regime and the return of democracy. The Student’s uprising
in Athens can also be seen as part of a specific, “postponed” continuation of the
movement which was launched by students at European universities in 1968, with
its important consequences for the country’s political and intellectual atmosphere
in the coming decades.",
