Драгољуб Јовановић и Шпански грађански рат

Abstract

Dragoljub Jovanović closely followed the situation in Spain ever since Popular Front was established in this country. His interest in it becomes even greater with the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. It has led him to Spain, where he had spent ten days in 1938 as a representative of Serbian parliamentarians. He had left us two complementary accounts from this journey, which provide a somewhat unusual view of the Spanish Civil War and Yugoslav volunteers. He shows great perspicacity and gift for political analysis in his musings on the causes and consequences of the war, although his writings are frequently colored by his own political views. He insisted that the “Spanish dilemma”, which the world was facing, is not between fascism and communism, but between fascism and democracy.
