In the introduction we should emphasise that the situation in the Slovenian Littoral (Primorska) during World War II was different than in the other Slovenian provinces or the pre-war Drava Banate. Namely, Primorska was an internationally recognised territory of the Kingdom of Italy, and the authorities had never allowed any special non-Italian military formations to operate there. When the Italian state occupied the Slovenian territory at the end of World War I, it showed clearly that it intended to keep this territory permanently, thus it also started Italianising it systematically. The political groups in Primorska knew the situation in the so-called Ljubljana Province under the Italian occupation, where the conflict between the partisan and the anti-communist side already started in 1942. Therefore they tried to do everything to prevent a similar war between brothers in Primorska. However, their outlook on the situation that arose, as well as the opinions of the individuals, were very dissimilar, especially with regard to how to face the partisans or the Liberation Front, which ultimately also brought communism to Primorska. The people of Primorska felt the activities of the partisans more indirectly, especially as revenge of the Italians for the actions carried out by the partisans. As far as the communist revolution in Primorska is concerned, we can state that the examples of direct revolutionary violence had been rare until the spring of 1943. Before the Italian capitulation the most resounding event in the wider region of Gorizia was the murder of Ivo Bric, a respected Christian and pre-war anti-fascist from Dornberk. On the orders of the partisan authorities, in the beginning of June 1943 two underage boys killed him while mowing grass. However, direct partisan violence strengthened in the middle of 1943 and especially after the Italian capitulation in the autumn of 1943. The communist agenda of the so-called national liberation struggle intensified, and the so-called second stage of the revolution paved the way for the revolutionary takeover of power with the characteristics of the Soviet system, consequently leading towards the ever increasing revolutionary violence also in the (northern) Primorska, culminating in the autumn of 1943 and in the middle of 1944. As far as the research of the revolutionary violence in Slovenia and consequently also in Primorska is concerned, we should underline that during World War II the following processes took place simultaneously in Slovenia: occupation, resistance against the occupiers, collaboration, revolution, and anti-revolution. Individual concrete manifestations of violence could involve several of these aspects at the same time, therefore it is often very difficult to analyse and establish the precise characteristics of violence. In cases of revolutionary violence in Primorska, for example arrests and murders of ideological opponents, the perpetrators were numerous and diverse: individual partisan units, field units, members of the Security Intelligence Service, members of the National Security Army, or simply individuals who took it upon themselves to act in the name of the partisan movement. We should also distinguish between executions without the sentences of the partisan military courts, where murder was most often involved, and justifications or executions on the basis of the sentences of partisan military courts, which became operational in the middle of 1943.
