Summary/Abstract: Although all relevant sources agree that Franc Žužek, a long-serving parish priest in Glina (1927 — 1955), had a significant position in social life of Glina and its surroundings, critical historiography missed to comprehensively study his biography. The objective of this paper is therefore to present the major events that illustrate his pre-war, war and post-war career and explain some issues important not only for Glina and Croatia, but also for the broader region, during a longer period that include several “historical breaking points”. The author based his research on relevant archive sources, existing bibliography and available newspaper sources. The article reveals new facts about one of the most prominent personalities in the 20th century Glina.
