The Organization of Yugoslav Nationalists (Serbo-Croatian: Organizacija Jugoslavenskih Nacionalista ORJUNA, Организација Југославенских Националиста ОРЈУНА), was a political organization active in Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes that existed from 1921 to 1929. ORJUNA supported Yugoslav nationalism, promoted the creation of a corporatist state, and opposed communism, democracy, separatism, Serbian and Croatian nationalism.[2] It is believed to have been inspired by fascism of neighbouring Fascist Italy.[3]
It was created in Split, in 1921, in order to fight communist insurgencies and Croatian separatism, and later Italian and Austrian irredentism.[2] The nominal leader was Milan Pribićević, brother of Yugoslav politician Svetozar Pribićević.[4] The organization ceased to exist in 1929, after the 6 January Dictatorship was established by King Alexander I.
[...] fascist Italy [...] developed a state structure known as the corporate state with the ruling party acting as a mediator between 'corporations' making up the body of the nation. Similar designs were quite popular elsewhere in the 1930s. The most prominent examples were Estado Novo in Portugal (1932-1968) and Brazil (1937-1945), the Austrian Standestaat (1933-1938), and authoritarian experiments in Estonia, Romania, and some other countries of East and East-Central Europe.
