Abstract | Dr. Franjo Tuđman jedan je od bitnijih ličnosti hrvatske, ali i suvremene europske
povijesti. Prateći njegovu biografiju, sagledavamo njegov životni put od Velikog Trgovišća
do odlaska u Zagreb na školovanje, gdje se aktivnije počeo zanimati za povijest i povijesnu
znanost, pa sve do njegova političkog djelovanja i najpoznatije uloge kao prvog predsjednika
suvremene Hrvatske. Kao aktivan član Komunističke partije i jednim od boraca
Narodnooslobodilačkog pokreta uživo je pratio tijek događanja u Drugom svjetskom ratu, tj.
na području Hrvatske, te s tom temom aktivno bavi u znanstvenom radu. U većini svojih djela
prevladavala mu je tema NOB-a i ustaškog režima na području Hrvatske. Kroz njegova djela
navedena u ovom radu pratimo tijek NOB-a na području Hrvatske, počevši prvotno od sloma
Kraljevine Jugoslavije, jedne od tema kojoj se Tuđman uvijek vraća pa sve do okupacije
Njemačke i Italije, te ustanka jugoslavenskih naroda na otpor i revoluciju. Njegova djela treba
čitati s promišljanjem u kakvom je vremenu zapravo Tuđman pisao i za koga, iako je već 70-
ih godina proglašavan nacionalistom, jer se često u radovima osvrtao na Hrvatsku i hrvatske
probleme, što u tadašnje vrijeme nije mogao biti slučaj. No, treba priznati kako je Franjo
Tuđman dao veliki doprinos tadašnjoj historiografiji, čiji se utjecaj protegnuo i do današnjih
dana, posebice zbog njegove predsjedničke uloge 90-ih godina, gdje je upotrijebio svo svoje
vojno-teorijsko znanje. |
Abstract (english) | Dr. Franjo Tuđman is one of the most important figures in Croatian and European
contemporary history. Following his biography, we look at his life journey from Veliko
Trgovišće to Zagreb, to study further and where he became more actively interested in history
and historical science, all the way to his political activities and the most famous role as the
first president of modern Croatia. As an active member of the Communist Party and one of
the fighters of the National Liberation Movement, he followed the course of events in the
Second World War, ie in Croatia, and actively deals with this topic in his scientific work. In
most of his works, the theme of the National Liberation War and the Ustasha regime in
Croatia prevailed. Through his works listed in this paper, we follow the course of the National
Liberation War in Croatia, starting with the collapse of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, one of
the topics to which Tudjman always returns to the occupation of Germany and Italy, and the
uprising of the Yugoslav peoples to resistance and revolution. His works should be read with
consideration of what time Tudjman actually wrote and for whom, although he was declared a
nationalist in the 1970s, because he often referred to Croatia and Croatian problems, which
could not have been the case at the time. However, it should be acknowledged that Franjo
Tuđman made a great contribution to historiography at the time, whose influence has
extended to the present day, especially because of his presidential role in the 1990s, where he
used all his military-theoretical knowledge. |
