In the interview, Silvester Furlan talks about his revolutionary path. He became politicized in the pre-war Kingdom of Yugoslavia as a young activist and member of the Alliance of the Communist Youth of Yugoslavia (SKOJ). Later, he escaped to the Soviet Union, and fought in both the Spanish civil war and the French Resistance of Charles De Gaulle. Silvester Furlan was a communist, but never a member of the Communist Party due to his rejection and criticism of democratic centralism because it was in conflict with his democratic principles.
