Croatian Greats

Season 2 Episode 4: Matija Gubec

In Croatia, streets and squares bear the name of Matija Gubec, a total of 362, and both the Ustaše, the Partisans, and the HSS have at various times invoked his legacy. Yet even today, we still do not know whether his name was truly ‘Matija,’ whether he was the leader of the rebellion, or whether he was even executed. In this episode, various experts, as well as local guardians of memory from Stubica, help us get as close as possible to Gubec’s historical figure. We will also uncover some unknown details about Franjo Tahy. Was he a hero or a villain? Why did infertile women visit his tomb for years, and why was he expelled from the church in Stubica? Find out in the new episode of Croatian Greats. The show was filmed in Zagorje, ensuring a touch of spontaneity and fun. Cheers!
