Abstract
The family Cihlar is known mostly by the writer Milutin Cihlar Nehajev and his father Sebald, while the other son Vatroslav Cihlar has almost fell into oblivion due to his pronounced but also misinterpreted role in the communist movement after the first World War. In fact, Vatroslav Cihlar (Senj 3rd Aug 1896 - Rijeka, 2nd Jan 1968), the journalist and translator, was Croatian communist but federalist and, without any doubt, the antifascist. His life was considerably more controversial that the historiography, either civil or communist, has ever accepted so far. Thus, this the moment to present him in every way and possibly as real as possible, although quite a lot still remains to be investigated, specially as regards his activities abroad. This work refers one to his pro-Croatian political activities, based on the analyses of his pamphlet "The Croatian Question and Amputation" from the 1928, where he unveiled all those who used to re-shape the map of Croatia. His work saw the three re-issues within a two-months' time and had influence on further course of political developments.
