  Stjepan Radić - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stjepan Radić (May 11, 1871 August 8, 1928) was a Croatian politician and the founder of the Croatian Peasant Party (CPP, Hrvatska Seljačka Stranka) in 1905.
Although he is generally viewed as an obstructionist politician for his party's frequent boycotts of parliament, Radić is credited with galvanizing the Croatian peasantry into a viable political force for the first time (sort of like a Slavic Daniel O'Connell).
In the Assembly, Puniša Račić, a radical ethnic-Serb MP from Montenegro, got up and made a provocative speech which produced a stormy reaction from the opposition but Radić himself stayed completely silent.

Stjepan Radic is depicted as both an enlightened, bright, and intuitive politician as well as an overly idealistic and romantic believer in the political self-determination of the Croat nation.

 Stjepan Radic
Stjepan Radic was born to a large and poor peasant family in the small village of Trebarjevo Desno about thirty miles southeast of Zagreb on June 11, 1871.
Radic declared that the policies of Vienna and Budapest had lost all support among the Croatians and that a union with Slovenia, Serbia, and Montenegro was feasible on the basis of complete equality.
Radic was pushed aside from the decision making process in such crucial and historic moments because it was known that he opposed the hasty establishment of the new South Slavic country.

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.
