In the past, the islands had often been used for isolating individuals and groups who were considered, for various reasons, a political or social threat. During the First World War, Goli Otok itself served as a prison camp where the Austro-Hungarian army kept its prisoners of war. Following the end of the war, the island was abandoned and remained deserted up until 1949. Desolate, isolated, and far from Yugoslavia\u2019s eastern borders, wherefrom the hypothetical attack was expected to come, Goli Otok was chosen by the Yugoslav authorities as an ideal place for interning its pro-Soviet minded citizens.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645954716732{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1903\" src=\"https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F4-alfred-pal_ls-650x433.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F4-alfred-pal_ls-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F4-alfred-pal_ls-325x217.jpg 325w, https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F4-alfred-pal_ls-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F4-alfred-pal_ls.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645967282978{margin-top: -5px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<em>Alfred Pal, a former prisoner in Goli Otok<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1347\" src=\"https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/point_big.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although all those who were imprisoned at the camp in Goli Otok were treated as supporters of the Cominform Resolution (<em>Rezolucija Informbiroa<\/em>, <em>IB<\/em>) and therefore referred to as <em>ibeovci<\/em>, the facts suggest that they were not a politically or ideologically homogeneous group. On the one hand, there is no doubt that they did include those who considered the USSR\u2019s criticisms of Yugoslavia justified, believed Stalin more than they believed Tito, and were willing, under certain conditions, to support a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat and change of government in the country. However, the fact is that the prison camp in Goli Otok would come to host various individuals who had nothing to do whatsoever with support for the Soviet Union or, in particular, with any activities against the state. The entire situation was exploited for staging a crackdown on all dissenters and critics of the regime. Some individuals were denounced and interned out of rather low-minded motives, which boiled down to personal enmities, conflicts, and other forms of strained interpersonal relations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=&#8221;brojistrukturazatocenika&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645955008299{padding-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1628861699483{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_name=&#8221;Text area&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645955024375{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645955040235{padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221; el_name=&#8221;Broj i struktura zato\u010denika&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Number and Structure of the Inmate Population <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1347\" src=\"https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/point_big.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The exact number of <em>ibeovci <\/em>imprisoned in Goli Otok is unknown.

Although there were inmates from every constituent republic of Yugoslavia, in terms of ethno-national affiliation most of them were Serbs (44%), Montenegrins (21%), and Croats (16%). The disproportionately high number of prisoners from Montenegro was interpreted by reference to their longstanding ties with Russia, as well as the poor treatment of Montenegro and its cadres in the Yugoslav federation after the war.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645955123230{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1910\" src=\"https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F5-Milovan-Zec-dosije-02-650x433.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F5-Milovan-Zec-dosije-02-522x720.jpg 522w, https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F5-Milovan-Zec-dosije-02.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645967368253{margin-top: -5px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<em>The file of Milovan Zec, imprisoned in Goli Otok<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1347\" src=\"https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/point_big.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most of the inmates were men, but the prison camp system processed almost 900 women as well.

Upon arrest, suspects underwent a rather brutal interrogation process, which a number of them did not survive; then came the conviction. Most suspects were convicted by administrative courts and the most common punishment was so-called community service. A minority of defendants were tried in a court of law, albeit in political show trials, without adequate legal representation, with the verdict most of the time known in advance. Active military personnel were convicted by military courts. Shortly upon sentencing, convicts would be transferred to prison.

This was meant to be achieved by humiliating the inmates, by various forms of psychological and physical abuse, and, in particular, by hard forced labour in the island\u2019s stone quarry and mine. In addition, the inmates themselves were also forced to \u2018investigate\u2019 and denounce each other to the management of the camp, as well as to take part in mutual physical abuse. Since they were imprisoned for the same reasons, the living and working conditions of the women held in Goli Otok and Sveti Grgur were similar to those of their male counterparts. Over time, small-scale industrial facilities were developed in Goli Otok, where inmates were employed in making furniture, floor and wall tiles, as well as small ship repairs. The revenue went to the camp management, that is, to the <em>UDB<\/em>. These activities, especially those related to stone quarrying, served as an excuse for officially renaming the camp <em>Radili\u0161te Mermer <\/em>(\u2018Marble Labour Camp\u2019).[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645997109316{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1987\" src=\"https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F7-Goli-otok1-PETOKRAKA-650x433.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F7-Goli-otok1-PETOKRAKA-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/F7-Goli-otok1-PETOKRAKA.jpg 777w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645967535196{margin-top: -5px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<em>Prisoners lining up in Goli Otok<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=&#8221;petrovarupa&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645956452724{padding-top: 0px !important;background-color: rgba(189, 187, 187, 0.58) !important;*background-color: rgba(189,187, 187, 0.58) !important;}&#8221;][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1628861699483{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_name=&#8221;Text area&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645955264942{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;background-color: rgba(189, 187, 187, 0.58) !important;*background-color: rgba(189,187, 187, 0.58) !important;}&#8221;][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645956462768{padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221; el_name=&#8221;\u201ePetrova rupa\u201c&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u2018Petar\u2019s Hole\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1347\" src=\"https:\/\/balkan-history.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/point_big.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The worst living and working conditions were experienced by those who were assigned to <em>Radili\u0161te 101 <\/em>(<em>R-101<\/em> \u2013 \u2018Work Site 101\u2019), better known as Petrova Rupa (\u2018Petar\u2019s Hole\u2019).

This camp within a camp was located in an abandoned mine pit, in which wooden barracks were erected to house prisoners. Petrova Rupa was separated from the rest of the camp on Goli Otok by barbed wire and a wall. Imprisonment in Petrova Rupa came down to performing pointless tasks, such as carrying rocks around or breaking them into smaller pieces, various forms of humiliation and subjection to harsh forms of physical violence.
