Lyenko Urbanchich

Lyenko Urbanchich (alternative surname spellings: Urbančič and Urbancic; December 19, 1922 – February 22, 2006) was a Slovenian-born Australian political activist. During World War II he was a propagandist for the Slovene Home Guard, a Nazi collaborating anti-Partisan military organisation.

Urbanchich was born Miljenko Urbančič in Šabac, Serbia, to Franjo Urbančič and Milena (née Kalin) Urbančič. His father, originally from Logatec, was working in Serbia as a financial official. The family returned to Slovenia in 1934.

He had helped create a faction of the New South Wales branch of the Liberal Party of Australia, and had been appointed on the party's State executive. Inspired by the legacy of Urbanchich, the faction regrouped in 2015. Provided by Wikipedia
