Prava Crvena Hrvatska and the Dubrovnik's radical rights

Tema ovog rada je djelovanje dubrovačkog pravaškog lista Prava Crvena Hrvatska (1905.-1918.) kao i kruga ljudi koji su kreirali politiku dubrovačkih pravaša, a samim time i njihovog glasila. U dosadašnjoj historiografiji o Dubrovniku na prijelazu stoljećâ, kao i u sintezama hrvatske periodike, sadržaj Prave Crvene Hrvatske nije detaljnije tematiziran. Ovaj rad predstavlja pokušaj cjelovite analize Prave Crvene Hrvatske u kontekstu širih političkih gibanja u Dalmaciji i Hrvatskoj na početku 20. stoljeća. U trenutku kada u Dalmaciji dolazi do stapanja Stranke prava s Narodnom strankom u novoformiranu Hrvatsku stranku (1905.), manja skupina Dubrovčana, pobornika pravaštva odlučila je ostati neovisna. Uz pomoć svoje novine, Prave Crvene Hrvatske, zastupaju politiku ujedinjenja Dalmacije, Hrvatske i Slavonije pod krunom Habsburške Monarhije te se protive novom smjeru u dalmatinskoj politici i suradnji sa Srbima koju je zagovarala Hrvatska stranka. Dubrovački pravaši u istom, hrvatskom, dijelu političkog spektra suprotstavljali su se politici udruženim narodnjacima i pravašima, a žestoki su im protivnici bili i srbokatolici te autonomaši. Dubrovački pravaši neprestano pozivaju i na okupljanje razjedinjenih pravaških skupina u Dalmaciji i Banskoj Hrvatskoj, u čemu u jednom trenutku i uspijevaju. Upravo na njihovu inicijativu u Dubrovniku dolazi 1906. godine do sinergije dalmatinskih pravaša okupljenih u novu stranku kojoj će dati, točnije vratiti, ime Stranka prava. Nesuglasice su stalno narušavale homogenost pravaške scene, bilo u Stranci prava u Dalmaciji ili u pravaškim strankama u Banskoj Hrvatskoj što se povremeno odražava i na uredničku politiku Prave Crvene Hrvatske. Skupina dubrovačkih pravaša, ovisno o političkim prilikama, podržava Iva Prodana, pravaškog vođu u Dalmaciji, ili se priklanja Josipu Franku i njegovim frankovcima u Banskoj Hrvatskoj. Uvidom u sadržaj Prave Crvene Hrvatske, ali i druge dvije političke novine koje su izlazile u Dubrovniku potkraj 19. i početkom 20 stoljeća, Crvene Hrvatske (1891.-1914.) i Dubrovnika (1892.-1914.) rasvjetljuje se politička scena u Gradu, poglavito ona pravaška. Ujedno se rekonstruira krug pristaša Stranke prava koji je u Dubrovniku opstao nakon 1905. godine. Analizom svih 908 brojeva pravaškog lista biografski se definiraju 'novinari', suradnici, pisci te ljudi koji su kreirali uredničku politiku i davali financijsku potporu Pravoj Crvenoj Hrvatskoj.The subject of this paper is the activity of the Party of Rights’ Dubrovnik followers and their engagement in newspaper Prava Crvena Hrvatska (1905-1918). The focus is on the circle of people who created the policy of Party of Rights in Dubrovnik, and thus their newspaper. In the historiography of Dubrovnik at the turn of the 20th century, as well as in the synthesis of Croatian periodicals, the contents of the newspaper Prava Crvena Hrvatska has never been thematized into details. This work represents an attempt to complete the analysis of the Prava Crvena Hrvatska in the context of the wider political movements in Dalmatia and Croatia at the beginning of the 20th century. During the merging of the Party of Rights and People's Party in Dalmatia into a new party - Croatian Party (1905), a smaller group of Dubrovnik's advocates and followers of the Party of Rights decided to remain independent. With the help and use of their newspaper, Prava Crvena Hrvatska, at the time they represent the policy of unification of Dalmatia, Croatia and Slavonia under the Habsburg Monarchy, but they also oppose a new direction in Dalmatian politics and co-operation with the Serbs advocated by the the newly founded Croatian Party. In the Croatian political spectrum of that time, Party of Rights in Dubrovnik had political rivals in united Croatian Party as well as the Dubrovnik’s Serb-Catholic and the Autonomists, being fierce opponents. Dubrovnik's Party of Rights delegates were constantly calling for the gathering of the divided groups of the Party of Rights followers in Dalmatia and Banska Croatia, suceeding at one point. Apon their initiative in 1906 the Dalmatian Party of Rights followers merged into one new party which was given the name the Party of Rights. The disagreements have continually disturbed the homogeneity of the political scene, either in the Party of Rights in Dalmatia or in the Party of Rights in Banska Croatia, which also occasionally reflected on the editorial policy of the Prava Crvena Hrvatska. A group of Party of Rights followers in Dubrovnik supported the Party of Rights leader Ivo Prodan, or joined Josip Frank and his francs in Banska Croatia, depending on political circumstances. With the insight into the contents of Prava Crvena Hrvatska, as well as the other two political newspapers published in Dubrovnik at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century - Crvena Hrvatska (1891-1914) and Dubrovnik (1892-1914) - the political scene in the city was elucidated, especially considering the Party of Rights. At the same time, the circle of the Party of Rights supporters, which was resumed after 1905 in Dubrovnik, was reconstructed. By analyzing all of the 908 editions of this Party of Rights newspaper, 'journalists', associates, writers and people who created editorial policy and provided financial support to the Prava Crvena Hrvatska are biographically defined
