Ivan Ribar

Ivan Ribar
Yugoslavia Marxism and communism Yugoslavia Croatia 1881–1968 ○ Natural causes

A parliamentarian who carried constitutional politics into the Liberation Movement

He presided over the Second Session of AVNOJ in 1943, where the decision to form New Yugoslavia was taken.

Ivan Ribar was a Croatian lawyer and Yugoslavist whose career connected parliamentary politics in the kingdom with the anti-fascist Liberation Movement. As president of the Constituent Assembly in 1920 and an advocate for communist defendants under dictatorship, he carried a constitutional and oppositional tradition into wartime politics. As chair of AVNOJ and later head of Yugoslavia’s collective state presidency, he gave the new order an institutional face while its political foundations were being remade. The loss of both sons in the war marked the personal cost of that passage between political traditions.

A conciliator between the monarchy and the national liberation movement

In the November 1944 Belgrade talks, he accepted a coalition government and regency while leaving the monarchy for a postwar decision.

Ivan Šubašić was a Croat Yugoslav politician and lawyer who became the first head of the autonomous Banovina of Croatia before the war. As the balance shifted between the royal government-in-exile and Tito’s national liberation movement, he became the principal non-Communist intermediary between them. In 1944 he negotiated with Tito, accepted the authority of AVNOJ, and helped design a coalition government and regency while leaving the monarchy’s fate to a postwar decision.
