Project description

Communism as a historical phenomenon went through a developmental path from conceptual preparation in political, social and philosophical theories, through historical realization to the final breakdown. Since communism as a constitutive or world-creating principle has permeated all areas of material and spiritual life, it is understandable that as a theoretical problem, or as a subject of research, it will show extreme complexity and comprehensiveness. The complexity and comprehensiveness of the problem also requires an appropriate research strategy. The research is segmented according to special areas of material and spiritual life, delimited by three chronological layers of genesis, breakdown and consequences, but at the same time integrated through a multidisciplinary discussion that will take place in institutionalized forms within the framework of the project.
