Croat of The Day - The Pilar Project

Every so often when there is nothing spectacular to write about, we will be doing a blast from the past. This segment will be called Croat of The Day - The Pilar Project.  The segment is named after our very first specimen who is most certainly the Father of Croatian geopolitics. As you will see, most of the people who will be presented in this feature are almost completely unknown and I think you'll eventually figure out why.

Dr. Ivo Pilar:

PhD in Law, historian, and the father of Croatian geopolitics. Studied at Ecole de Droit in Paris. A Croatian patriot and a fervent enemy of the Yugoslav experiment. Was jailed many times and wrote under many pseudonyms - the most famous being Lucifer Torchbearer (German: Florian Lichttraeger/ Croatian: Lucifer Luconosa ili Svjetlonosa) - the foundation of later Croatian nationalists referring to their cause as the bearers of the torch/light. Killed by the Yugoslav government in his home in 1933.
