Illegal Technique Savlje

Establishment of an illegal cyclostyle technique at the Zatler house in Savlje is closely linked to the activities of Ljubljana communists in reviving party life in Ljubljana. Boris Kidrič, in 1930 after his release from prison, sought out former members of the Communist Party and began connecting them. Thus, in 1931, a party organization was also established on Ježica.

In that year, Boris Kidrič ensured the establishment of an illegal printing press in Savlje, where they reproduced the Red Flag, the newspaper of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. Zdenka Kidrič, Boris Tiherl, Andrej Kumar and other party members from Ježica and Savelj also participated. In this house, there was also accommodation for illegal members from the regional leadership of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia for Slovenia.

A commemorative plaque was unveiled at the Zatler house on 5 September 1959.
