| | balkanalysis.com - Stjepan Radic, the Croat Peasant Party, and the Politics of Mass Mobilization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Radic’s lifelong dream of peasant emancipation from foreign overlords and the Zagreb intelligentsia alike, and for national self-determination on a political level, was propelled by an invincible, sometimes naïve sense of self-belief and a restless need for constant action. |
 | | Stjepan Radic developed a reputation as a nationalist student agitator through acts like his public denunciation of Hungarian Ban Khuen-Héderváry, a deed for which he was rewarded with 4 months in jail and termination from the university. |
 | | Radic was also an anti-imperialist, yet at various points he proposed, in vain, a settlement with the mortally wounded Austria for Croatia to remain part of the empire as an autonomous republic. |
