In the present political and social climate in Croatia a majority of common topics are linked to the national history. The aim of this study was to determine who the most important figures in Croatian history are according to participants. Another objective of the study was to investigate the connection between social representations of historical figures Franjo Tuđman and Josip Broz Tito, who are still a subject of disagreement, and value systems, especially political orientation, religiosity and national identity. The participants were 144 students of psychology and sociology of the Faculty for Croatian Studies. They were solving a questionnaire about European and national history adjusted to the national context and given along few questions about basic demographic issues. The result of the research has shown that the most influential figures in Croatian history were Franjo Tuđman and Josip Broz Tito. Other often mentioned historical figures were Ban Josip Jelačić, Nikola Tesla, Stjepan Radić, Ante Pavelić and Ljudevit Gaj. Obtained results have also shown that people to whom religion is important, as those who exhibit a greater expression of national identity and persons of right-wing political orientation value Franjo Tudjman better than left-wing oriented people, those to whom religion is not important or those with a weak expression of national identity. Furthermore, it's been observed that, in comparison with right-wing oriented and religious, people of left-wing political orientation and those to whom religion is not important value Josip Broz Tito better. No significant connection of the evaluation of Josip Broz Tito and the expression of the national identity has been determined. Obtained results are partially in line with our expectations and previous research.
