Sir, Your report (Apr 4) rightly gives prominence to the shameful new Slovenian €2 coin honouring the communist partisan Franc Rozman (“Stane” was his partisan name, not his surname, as implied). Rozman is indeed widely held to have both ordered the execution of democrats and to have killed some himself. The photo of him printed with the article shows him standing between a career officer on the left, and on the right, Viktor Avbelj, a general in the Slovenian Secret Police, who later became chief prosecutor in the infamous Nagode trial in 1947.
The new coin is not only in line with a worrying nostalgia for the communist past, but follows the re-naming of a street in Ljubljana after Tito.
