significant avant-garde magazine in the territory of former Yugoslavia and one
of the most significant within the context of European avant-garde. <b>By its programme, Zenit is basically
international: it gravitated to the creation of one completely new and united
Europe, disregarding the races, nationalities, languages, ideas or ideologies.
In many ideas, it was an attempt of a new Babylon palace building in spite of
mixed nations. Zenitism is the avant-garde movement born around Zenit magazine. The Zenitism
Manifesto was published in June 1921 and was proclaiming humanism аnd
anti-war ideas. </b></span></i><span style="color:rgb(77,77,77)"><br>
