Vladimir Nazor (born May 30, 1876 in Postira, Brač – died June 19, 1949 in Zagreb) was the first head of state of the modern Croatia. A member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, he led the Croatian World War II wartime assembly, the ZAVNOH, and later served as President of the President of the Presidium of the People's Assembly of the People's Republic of Croatia (head of state). Today he is most remembered, however, as a well-known Croatian poet, writer, translator, and humanist.
