After the conflict with the Soviet Union, the Yugoslav authorities became politically more tolerant. After the beginning of the 1950s, more than just "the only valid" opinion about certain problems, argued for by the communist authorities, could be heard or read about. The criticism voiced by intellectuals was limited to individual political issues. The destinies of these intellectuals (forced retirement, imprisonment, life in emigration, bans on the printing of their works) proved that the communist regime used all possible means to prevent the seeking of different political directions.

The article focuses on the issue of emigration and flight of Slovenians from the territory, annexed to Italy in 1920 on the basis of the Treaty of Rapallo and then returned to Slovenia in accordance with the Peace Treaty with Italy in 1947. Especially out of fear of the repression by the Yugoslav authorities, more than 10,000 Slovenians emigrated or fled, most of them to the Goriška region and to Zone A of the Free Territory of Trieste. Since they were not able to keep or acquire the Italian citizenship, most of them emigrated in the following years, usually to Australia and the USA.
