MAISTERS OVERTHROW AGE (1 NOV. 1918 – 31. DEC. 1918) IN MARIBOR AND ITS SURROUNDING IN THE LIGHT OF NEWSPAPERS MARBURGER ZEITUNG, SLOVENSKI GOSPODAR AND STRAŽA

Diplomsko delo se posveča tematiki Maistrove prevratne dobe 1918/1919, natančneje dogodkom v novembru in decembru v Mariboru in njegovi okolici, in sicer v luči treh takrat v Mariboru izhajajočih časnikov. Govora je o pronemško usmerjenem Marburger Zeitung in na drugi strani slovenski javnosti namenjenima Slovenskemu gospodarju in Straži. Obdobje, o katerem je govora, je čas, v katerem je lahko Slovenija v sklopu države SHS in kasneje kraljevine SHS pričela konkretneje živeti in oprijemljivo uresničevati svoje že v preteklosti obstoječe želje oziroma zadane cilje – osamosvojitev izpod nemškega jarma. Z razpadom Avstro-Ogrske se je že dalj časa prisotno stremenje po lastni državi tudi uresničilo, kar se zrcali v ustanovitvi države Slovencev, Hrvatov in Srbov. Nemška Avstrija, ki je nastala na pogorišču nekdanje monarhije, se seveda ni hotela odreči svojemu nekdanjemu ozemlju, vsaj celotnemu ne. Na območje, okoli katerega se je v smislu, h kateri državni tvorbi pripada, dvignilo veliko prahu, je bil tudi Maribor z njegovo okolico. Mariborsko vprašanje je bilo le eno, a vsekakor najpomembnejše v sklopu vprašanj o severni meji, pri rešitvi katerega je izjemno vlogo odigral general Rudolf Maister Vojanov. Poglavitni cilj diplomskega dela je analiza podajanja snovi v omenjenih časnikih v času prevratne dobe in ugotavljanje prisotnosti problema pristranskosti na praktično vseh področjih od politike in kulture pa vse tja do prehrambnih vprašanj.This diploma paper deals mainly with the subversive period of Rudolf Maister (1918/1919), specifically the events that occurred in November and December in Maribor and its outskirts and how those events were presented by the three newspapers of that era: the pro-German Marburger Zeitung on one side and the Slovene public-oriented Slovenski gospodar and Straža on the other side. Slovenia was trying to fulfill its former wishes and goals, first as the State of SHS (Slovenes, Croats and Serbs) and later as the Kingdom of SHS (Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) – to get rid of the German yoke and become independent. The decay of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy enabled Slovenes to form a separate country, which was later known as the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. The newly formed Republic of German-Austria that had the same territory as the Monarchy did not want to lose all of its regions. The question about Maribor and its suburbs created a great sensation because it was unsure to which country the city belonged at that time, thus making it one of the most significant questions about the northern border, where Rudolf Maister Vojanov played an important role. The main goal of this diploma paper is the analysis of presenting facts in the three main newspapers of the subversive period and the assessment of the biased problem in all areas – from politics and culture to food related questions
