U članku je istražena biografija križevačkog ilirca i plemića Nikole Zdenčaja (1775–1854), pri čemu je naglasak stavljen na njegovo političko i kulturno djelovanje. Nikola Zdenčaj je tek rijetko bio u središtu znanstvenih i/ili stručnih istraživanja, pa će u ovom članku biti istražen i potvrđen njegov politički put u sklopu Ilirskog pokreta (Hrvatskog narodnog preporoda), a bit će pojašnjene i neke nejasnoće, kao i nedovoljno utvrđene činjenice. Cilj članka je, dakle, taj da osvijetli ulogu Nikole Zdenčaja tijekom Hrvatskog narodnog preporoda, ali i taj da osvijetli poziciju koju taj ilirac danas ima u historiografiji. ; This article explores the biography of an Illyrian and nobleman Nikola Zdenčaj (1775–1854), emphasizing his political and cultural activities. Nikola Zdenčaj was rarely at the centre of scientific and/or professional research, so this article will explore and confirm his political path within the Illyrian movement (Croatian National Revival), while also clarifying some ambiguities and insufficiently established facts. Therefore, this article aims to shed light on the role of Nikola Zdenčaj during the Croatian National Revival, as well as on the Illyrian's position in today's historiography.

The paper analyzes the influence of familial "political biographies" during WWII on party preferences. The survey has shown that about 50% of its subjects have a single-track political biography (they belonged to either the partisan movement (NOB) or the army of the Independent Croatian State (NDH). The individuals whose political biography is NOB-inclined have a markedly more negative attitude towards the Croatian state of WWII & Ante Pavelie, positively assess Josip Broz Tito, are less religious & prefer leftist parties. The individuals who have the NDH biography have a positive opinion of the Croatian state during WWII & Ante Pavelie, negatively assess Josip Broz, are much more religious, & vote for the parties of the Right. The individuals whose families did not get involved in the conflict, or whose families have a "mixed" political biography, are moderately religious & largely vote for centrist parties. Besides the political biography factor, the degree of religiosity has proved an extremely important factor in the choice of political parties. 15 Tables, 6 Figures, 9 References.
