Abstract
During the downfall of Marxist regimes in Eastern Europe, the communists in Slovenia were focused on the further implementation of their far-reaching plans. While doing so, they did not forget to maintain the conscience of the past. During the preparations for their eleventh congress, the commission for history of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Slovenia and the Section for Ideological Questions of Historiography of the Marxist Centre of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Slovenia had a joint meeting on 7 November 1989. Both authorities rejected the full-scale listing of the Party in the past as being unreasonable; they also opposed the discontinuation of the authorities whose purpose in the Party was to preserve the conscience of the past. Božo Repe, the author of the record of the meeting, stated that the Party needed them as a “service”. At the meeting, the communists also formed guidelines for individual entries in the Encyclopaedia of Slovenia, which proves a strong political and ideological interference with the work of the editorial board.
