Abstract
Over the 50-year history of Yugoslavia, there were rises and falls, successes and failures, bright and dark moments. It is thus not surprising that the many memories that people have of life in Yugoslavia are often diametrically opposed. These divergent memories of Yugoslavia are the central topic of our research. The study focuses on memories and their transmission from older to younger generations and is based on the results of a survey that was carried out in the Republic of Slovenia. The research has clearly shown that positively tinged memories of Yugoslavia predominate in the families of younger as well as older generations on the one hand while on the other hand it has become obvious that Yugonostalgia is nostalgia for something from the past and it is not a desire to experience or revive that in the present.
Highlights
Over the 50-year history of Yugoslavia, a country founded in November 1943 and officially dismantled in January 1992, there were rises and falls, successes and failures, bright and dark moments
We were interested in the types of memories of Yugoslavia that predominated in each group, how often these memories were evoked in everyday life, and who most often hands down these memories from the older to the younger generation
Due to a close connection between the present and the past in the process of remembering, it is essential to consider the broader context in which our study was conducted, since we expect that the negative economic, social, and political effects caused by the last economic crisis in Slovenia had a significant role in the formation and transmission of memories of Yugoslavia to the generations that were included in the study
