Croats
Croats () are a South Slavic ethnic group mostly living in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and nearby countries. There are around 4 million Croats living inside Croatia, and an estimated 4.5 million throughout the rest of the world. Responding to political, social and economic pressure, many Croats have since migrated throughout the world, and established a notable Croatian diaspora. Large Croat communities exists in The United States, Chile, Argentina, Germany, Austria, Australia, Canada, Serbia, New Zealand and South Africa. Croats are noted for their culture, which throughout the ages, has been variously influenced by different cultural circles. The strongest influences came from Central Europe and the Mediterranean, where, at the same time, Croats gave their contribution. The Croats are predominantly Catholic and their language is Croatian.

Heinrich Heine
Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856) was a journalist, essayist, literary critic, and one of the most significant German poets of the 19th century. He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of Lieder (art songs) by composers such as Robert Schumann. Heine's later verse and prose is distinguished by its satirical wit and irony. His radical political views meant that many of his works were banned by the authorities in Germany. Heine spent the last 25 years of his life as an expatriate in Paris.

Vladimir Bakarić
Dr. Vladimir Bakarić (8 March 1912 – 16 January 1983) was a Croatian communist and a politician in Socialist Yugoslavia. He helped organize Partisan resistance in Croatia during World War II. From 1948 to 1969 he was the chairman of the Croatian League of Communists, and as such was a close collaborator of President Josip Broz Tito. Even after stepping down from the top post in Croatian communist hierarchy, he retained much influence and was in fact considered to be the most influential Croatian politician. Together with Edvard Kardelj he belonged to the more liberal wing of the Yugoslav political elite and was known for his statement on the need for "federation to federate" (federiranje federacije), a reference to the struggle between Yugoslav unitarists who advocated giving more powers to the central government and federalists who wanted to shift power to the republics. Still, Bakarić was usually extremely careful in his public pronouncements on policy and wary of radical statements. This earned him the nickname Mrtvac ("Dead man").

Majka pravoslavna by Vladimir Nazor (recitovanje)
20. jun 2009. Dom sindikata u Beogradu - "Zavicaj te zove" 20. jun obelezava se dan izbeglih lica, prema odluci OUN. U tu svrhu Koalicija izbeglickih udruzenja Srba proteranih sa prostora avnojevske Hrvatske u periodu 1991-95, napravila je zavicajno vece u Domu sindikata nizom folklornog stvaralastva, gde su ucestvovali pored KUD Krajina, i KUD Soko iz Indjije, KUD Dunav iz Apatina, KUD Marija Bursac iz Banatskog V. sela... Ovde na snimku pesmu "Majka pravoslavna" recituju glumac Petar Kralj i pesnikinja Daliborka Mihailovic. Ova pesma nastala je u jeku ustaskog holokausta prema Srbima u II sv. ratu, januara 1943. u jednom selu kod Vrginmosta. MAJKA PRAVOSLAVNA - Vladimir Nazor Jesi li se nasjedila na garištu kuće svoje, - Oh, ta kuća bijedna! Tražeć okom i rukama kolievčicu malog Jove, Ikonicu Svetog Đurđa i đerđefić tvoje Ruže? Sve je sada dim i pepel, sve proguta čađa tavna, Ti, slomljena krepka grana, najbiednija međ ženama, Majko pravoslavna! Jesi li se nahodala nogama što jedva nose, - Oh, te noge bolne! Jesi li se umorila tražeć Rumu, kravu svoju, Kravu svoju, hraniteljku stare bake i dječice? Da l' je vuci rastrgoše, il' je sakri šuma travna? Ne muči se! Za koga bi sada bili sir i mlieko, Majko pravoslavna. Jesi li se naplakala nad sudbinom druga svoga, - O druže ljubljeni! Izdajom ga uloviše, kao psa izmlatiše, Mučili ga, vezali ga, bacali ga u tamnice. I on, koga srce vuklo djela vršit teška i slavna, Kao hrom se bogalj vrati, da ti umre na rukama, Ženo <b>...</b>

Nazor's early work paralleled the rise of the Young Croatian literary movement. He acquired much literary popularity in Croatia writing about folk legends and stories. The tale Big Joseph (Veli Jože) (1908) is still popular: it features a helpful and kind hearted giant named Jože, living in the area around the town of Motovun (Inner Istria). His verses in Hrvatski kraljevi (Croat Kings) (1912) established him as the great patriot poet in Croatia. Istrian Tales (Istarske priče) (1913) revealed his storytelling skill and mastery. By illuminating the personality of the South Slavs through tales of Croatia, he contributed a great deal in creating the Yugoslav national consciousness.
Nazor supported the opposition alliance led by Vladko Maček in the 1938 Yugoslav elections. During World War II, on December 30, 1941, Nazor became a member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts by government decree, but in 1942 he escaped from Zagreb with poet Ivan Goran Kovačić in a boat across the river Kupa, that was sublimed in poem The Boat on the Kupa (Čamac na Kupi) and joined the Partisans. Nazor became one of Josip Broz Tito's closest associates and the President of Croatia's World War II assembly, the ZAVNOH. After the war, he became the first president of the People's Republic of Croatia's Parliament (President of the Presidium of the People's Assembly), and thus the first head-of-state of the modern Croatian state in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. He went on to write a war diary With Partisans (S partizanima) (1943–1945).
Nazor was a very productive author. He was the master of prose, but his highest achievements are in lyric poetry.
One of his main prose works is the extensive novel Loda the Shepherd (Pastir Loda) (1938). The work describes the history of his native island of Brač as told by Loda, a faun, one of the last of that kind on the island.
In poetry Nazor's creative way began from metaphysical transcendental philosophy and arrived to materialistic revolutionary action, to rational scheme and harmonic larpourlartistic crystal structure and interior protest against artistic verbalizing in Futurism, Dadaism, Expressionism and Surrealism as well as instructive didactics of socialist realism. Therefore his opus comprises a plenty of style tendencies, from neoclassical to surrealistic and despite its heterogeneity, in essence it belongs to Symbolism. Nazor's poems are rather difficult for reading, due to subjecting contents to form – especially in sonets, rhime and rhythm forcing, vowels shortening for adjusting the number of syllables and progressing the sentence to the next verse as well as use of academic, atypical, rare and arhaic words.
Nazor wrote over 500 poems. His poetry implicates that art is aestheticly stronger than reality, for art reflects the essence of real world. Early phase of Nazor's poetrv work is mostly object of scholars' research now, but Galérien's Poeme (Galiotova pesan) from that time (1903), describing suffering and sadness of a galley slave, attains universal meanining as condemnation of oppressing at all and still stands as one of the most expressive disapproval of slavery; unfortunately, it is very difficult for translating, because it is written in Chakavian dialect.
Nazor probably reached the highest scope in poems of so called pagan phase, published in books of verse Lyrics (Lirika) (1910) and New Poems (Nove pjesme) (1913). Passionately ecstatic, these poems comprise symbols of life, its eternal fertility, pantheistic metamorphoses of nature and sensual affirmation of love; life prevails for life itself, so life is taken in its whole versatility. Vitalistic view of life and fascination by countryside - Cypress (Čempres), Dionysian Poems (Dionizijske pjesme), Cicada (Cvrčak) and Olive (Maslina), as well as contemplative experience and spiritualizing of natural appearances - Turris eburnea, Notturno, Forest Sleeps (Šuma spava), Trunk (Stablo) and Spider (Pauk), dominate in the heights of that phase, and these are the heights of Nazor's poetry at all. Poems Cicada, Olive, Notturno and Forest Sleeps belong to the top of the World poetry.
Vladimir Nazor spoke several languages and translated from Italian (Dante - Divina Commedia, Giosuè Carducci, Giovanni Pascoli, Gabriele d'Annunzio), German (Goethe, Heine), French (Hugo, Alfred de Musset) and English (Shakespeare).
Nazor was buried in Mirogoj Cemetery. Since 1959, Croatia has named a state award for artistic achievement the Vladimir Nazor Award.
