Vinko Nikolić (2 March 1912 - 12 July 1997) was a Croatian emigrant writer, poet and journalist. During much of World War II he was an adjutant at Supreme Ustaša Headquarters, which effectively ruled over the fascist and genocidal Independent State of Croatia (NDH). ==Biography== Vinko Nikolić was born in Šibenik in 1912. He attended elementary school and Catholic gymnasium in his birth town. After that he attended seminary. He joined the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Zagreb and graduated in 1937. As a professor at the Commercial Academy he saw political changes in Yugoslavia in 1939, of which the most significant was the creation of Banovina Croatia. For much of World War II he was an adjutant at Supreme Ustaša Headquarters. Supreme Ustaša Headquarters directed the operation of the Independent State of Croatia, a fascist puppet state responsible for the deaths of around 200,000 Serbs and almost all of the Jews and Romani people of the puppet state. At the end of World War II he retreated to Austria with the rest of the quisling Ustaša army and civilians, after which Yugoslav Partisans executed around 35.000 people, many of them (but not all) untried war criminals, largely in retribution for the crimes of the NDH. During his stay in Austria he gained status as a prisoner of war, and left for another camp in Italy. During his transfer to the other camp, he jumped out of a train and thus become a political migrant. The situation in Italy was changing; many Croats who escaped the communists were later arrested and extradited. To avoid this, Nikolić went to Buenos Aires, Argentina, arriving there on 8 June 1947. At first he lived in an old house with Ante Pavelić. They did not have much money and lived very cheaply. He worked as a journalist, and along with Franjo Nevistić, he published the magazine ''Hrvatska'' which he edited until June 1950. In the same year, along with Antun Bonifačić he published the Croatian emigrant magazine ''Hrvatska revija'', which he edited from the first published issue of magazine in 1951 until his death. Reporting on the Bleiburg tragedy, he claimed that 200,000 people had been killed. He edited other Croatian emigrant magazines, including ''Ave'', ''Hrvatski vitez'' (Croatian knight), ''Oganj'' (Flame), ''Novi život'' (New life), ''Za Boga i Hrvatsku'' (For God and Croatia), ''Danica'', ''La Croatie'', ''Osoba i duh'' (Person and spirit), ''Islam'', ''Glasnik društva Muslimana Austrije'' (Herald of Muslims of Austria), ''Hrvatski radnik'' (Croatian worker), ''Hrvatska gruda'' (Croatian land), ''Hrvatska sloboda'' (Croatian freedom) and ''Rakovica''. After the fall of Yugoslavia, he returned to Croatia and died in his birth town on 12 July 1997. Yugoslavia saw Croatian émigrés as enemies of the state, but Nikolić's work made him very respected and influential, even among his enemies. After his death, some Serbian magazines also praised him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vinko Nikolić」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
