About Ante Ciliga
Ante Ciliga was a Croatian politician, writer and publisher. Ciliga was one of the earliest leaders of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ). Imprisoned in Stalin's Gulags in the 1930s as part of the Great Purge, he later became an ardent Croatian nationalist, anti-communist and ideologue of the fascist Ustaše movement. In early 1921 Ciliga became the main organizer of the Proština rebellion, which was alongside the concurrent Labin rebellion in his native Istria (then party of Italy) one of the first anti-fascist resistance efforts in Europe.
