The author has shown the forms and methods of censorship in Slovenia in the period of Communism. Immediately after the end of the war in 1945, the new authorities composed a list of banned works, which had to be removed from libraries and bookshops. The introduction of so-called social management in cultural institutions in the middle of the 1950’s changed the method of censoring works. The role of censor was taken over by publishing councils, which carried out preventive or prior censorship. Suspensive or subsequent censorship was limited in particular to imported books.

The author deals with the attitude of Slovene and Yugoslav Communists to the Catholic Church after 1945, especially forms of restricting the expression of religious conviction, which the author throughout sets in the wider historical context. A change in the attitude of the state to the Catholic Church occurred at the transition from the 1950’s to the 1960’s, especially after the Second Vatican Council, when the pressure of the Communist authorities on the Catholic Church and the expression of religious conviction appreciably lessened
