Biography Urban finished elementary school in Zázrivá and Podhorany, and then attended the gymnasia in Trstená and Ružomberok. From 1921, he worked as a journalist and editor for various newspapers and magazines. Between 1940 and 1945, Urban was editor-in-chief of Gardista, a propagandist magazine published by the Hlinka Guard, the paramilitary wing of the ruling Slovak People's Party in the clerico-fascist Slovak State. Towards the end of World War II he fled the advancing Red Army to Austria, but was deported back to Czechoslovakia in 1947. The following year, Urban was put on trial for his role as editor of Gardista during the war, found guilty of collaboration and deprived of his publishing rights. From the 1950s he made a living as a translator. Urban died in Bratislava in 1982.
