This manuscript “La Jugoslavia comunista: fra il dissenso dell'intellighenzia eil diritto di Stato della Croazia” (Communist Yugoslavia: Between the Intellectual Dissent and Croatia’s Right to Statehood) was written in 1978 and published as a book in Venice in 1979. Čolak wanted to highlight two dangers for the Yugoslav regime: first, the Croatian national question and, second, the resistance of intellectuals to the communist dictatorship.
