Hence the orientation of social and economic programs in the Croatian peasantry. The focus of the research is given to the writings of famous Croatian writer Mile Budak. That laid the foundation for the program of Budak Ustashi movement in addressing the peasant question. At the same time, the ideas developed by Budak and Ustashi leader Ante Pavelic were never put into reality.
