Popis: Based on the primary documents of the Croatian State Archive, the Fonds of the Government Presidency of the Independent State of Croatia (the NDH), the documents on the Great Alliance, 1942-1943 (the Tehran Conference), and information from daily and periodical journals, the author of the article explains the ways in which the public was informed in the NDH and how media was governed in a totalitarian state like the NDH. The paper, which is dedicated to the crucial period of World War Two, additionally analyzes topics such as the decisions of the Alliance in Tehran, the reaction of the Ustasha government to the political and military plans of the Alliance, as well as the consequences for the NDH authorities, which the said decisions brought about. The first meeting between the Big Three was considered by the Ustasha authorities to be a proof of the Soviet victory and dominance in south-eastern parts of Europe, as well as a step towards the restitution of Yugoslavia led by the Bolsheviks, or Tito’s Partisans, under the presumption that the Third Reich was defeated. Using the influence of the current press, the Ustasha regime tried to form the public opinion that there was no alternative to the alliance between the NDH and the Third Reich and that any other solution, apart from the victory of the Axis powers, would lead to the loss of the state.
Na temelju dijela izvorne građe, Fonda Predsjedništva vlade Nezavisne Države Hrvatske i zapisa sastanaka „velike trojice“ u Teheranu te dnevnih i periodičnih tiskovina koje su izlazile u Nezavisnoj Državi Hrvatskoj, autor članka prije svega pruža uvid u način javnog informiranja i položaj tiskovnih medija u totalitarnoj državi, kakva je bila NDH. Uz to, u radu se, koji obrađuje prijelomno razdoblje Drugog svjetskog rata posebno tematiziraju odluke Saveznika iz Teherana, reagiranja ustaških vlasti prema političkim i vojnim odlukama Saveznika, kao i posljedice koje su po vlasti NDH proizašle iz dogovora Saveznika. Ustaške vlasti, autor zaključuje, prvi sastanak predsjednika SAD-a, SSSR-a i Velike Britanije u Teheranu ocjenjuju kao potvrdu podređenog položaja zapadnih Saveznika u sprezi sa Sovjetskim Savezom, sovjetske dominacije na jugoistoku Europe i korak ka obnovi Jugoslavije, ali pod vodstvom boljševika, Titovih partizana, bude li Treći Reich poražen. Ustaški režim, služeći se tada dominantnim tiskovnim medijima, nastojao je stvoriti opće uvjerenje među građanima NDH kako alternative savezništvu s Trećim Reichom, zapravo nema te da bi svako drugo vojno i političko rješenje, izuzev pobjede sila Trojnog sporazuma, značio gubitak države.
