Ante Bruno Bušić was a Croatian writer and critic of Yugoslav communism. By the time he enrolled onto high school in Imotski, he was already involved in activities which communist authorities considered rebellious. In 1957 he joined a group called Tiho (calm, lit. - quiet) whose aim was to "fight for freedom, equality and the formation of a free Croatia based on democratic principles". It was at that time that the UDBA began watching him.

  • Ante Bruno Bušić was a Croatian writer and critic of Yugoslav communism. By the time he enrolled onto high school in Imotski, he was already involved in activities which communist authorities considered rebellious. In 1957 he joined a group called Tiho (calm, lit. - quiet) whose aim was to "fight for freedom, equality and the formation of a free Croatia based on democratic principles". It was at that time that the UDBA began watching him. Bušić, along with his schoolmates who had also participated in Tiho, were expelled from school soon after. Two years later, the expelled students were allowed to return to school. Bušić went on to enroll in University of Zagreb and earned an economics degree in 1964. In 1965 he got a job at the "Institute for the History of Croatia's Workers' Movement" (Institut za historiju radničkoga pokreta Hrvatske) which was run by former Yugoslav general and future Croatian president Franjo Tuđman. In 1966 he was sentenced to jail for his political views, but by this time he had escaped to Austria. At the behest of Tuđman who still had great influence in Yugoslavia, Bušić returned to Zagreb and was not sent to jail. In 1967 he resumed work at the Institute. In 1969 Bušić moved on to write for the "Croatian Literary Paper" (Hrvatski književni list). Here he confronted several issues considered controversial by Yugoslav officials. The paper was eventually banned. This led Bušić to emigrate to Paris for a period of time where he attended the Sorbonne. Upon his return in 1971, he became one of directors of the "Croatian Weekly" (Hrvatski tjednik). That same year the Yugoslav government issued a crack-down on what had been called Hrvatsko proljeće. Bušić was among those arrested and he was in jail until 1973. He left Yugoslavia for the last time in 1975. He spent most of his time living in England, but travelled extensively through the rest of Europe. He wrote for "New Croatia" (Nova Hrvatska) during this period. He was killed in Paris on October 16, 1978 by UDBA. Exactly 21 years after his death, with Croatian independence gained, his remains were moved from Paris to the Mirogoj cemetery in Zagreb and were laid to rest next to the dead of the Croatian War of Independence.
  • Bruno Bušić war kroatischer Journalist und Jugoslawien-Kritiker. Seine ersten literarischen Arbeiten verfasste er schon während seiner Schulzeit am Gymnasium und veröffentlichte sie in verschiedenen Zeitschriften. Wegen seiner kroatisch-nationalistischen Ansichten und Arbeiten wurde er von der Schule verwiesen und erhielt Schulverbot in ganz Jugoslawien. Dieses Verbot wurde nach zwei Jahren wieder aufgehoben, sodass Bruno Bušić das Gymnasium und 1964 sein wirtschaftliches Studium an der Universität in Zagreb abschließen konnte. Anschließend arbeitete Bušić in dem von Franjo Tuđman gegründetem Institut für die Geschichte der Arbeiterbewegung Kroatiens. 1968 beginnt seine Arbeit im Kroatischen Literarischen Blatt, das kurz darauf verboten wurde. Als Mitarbeiter des Kroatischen Wochenblatts veröffentlichte er nationalistische Beiträge über die seiner Ansicht nach hässliche Realität in Jugoslawien und die Lage der Kroaten unter dem kommunistisch diktatorischen Regime. Während des Kroatischen Frühlings wurde das Kroatische Wochenblatt verboten und Bruno Bušić inhaftiert. Nach der Haft verließ er 1975 das Land. Im Ausland führt er seine Arbeit als Schriftsteller für eine Sezession Kroatiens fort. Er wurde mit absoluter Mehrheit in den Präsidialrat des Kroatischen Volksrats im Exil gewählt. Bruno Bušić gründete das monatlich erscheinende Kroatische Blatt und war Redakteur der ersten beiden Ausgaben. Am 16. Oktober 1978 um 23:20 Uhr wurde Bruno Bušić, vermutlich von Angehörigen des jugoslawischen Geheimdienstes UDBA, in der Straße Rue de Belleville 57 in Paris, mit zwei von fünf abgefeuerten Schüssen ermordet.
