After the First World War, following the fate of many Istrians, the family went to live in Karlovac, where Ker\u0161ovani passed the maturity test in 1921, the same year when the Communist Party of Yugoslavia was placed outside the law of the so-called Obznan.

He enrolls in the Faculty of Forestry in Zagreb, but leaves it, dedicates himself to journalism and writes for the Zagreb News and Free Tribune.
\nIn 1925 he moved to Belgrade and until 1930 was the most intense period of his journalistic-publicist activity. He joined the Communist movement in 1927 and was sentenced to one year in prison the following year. On his return from his assignment in Vienna, he was arrested on 14 February 1930 and sentenced to ten years in prison in Belgrade. He continued to work and write politically in the Mitrovac Penitentiary, especially on current political and historical issues. He was released from prison on February 17, 1940. of the year. After demonstrations against the Tripartite Pact, a large group of intellectuals, leaders, communists were arrested in Zagreb at night from 30 to 31 March 1941. Among them was Ker\u0161ovani, who was handed over to the Kerestinec camp, where he continued his lectures and writings. He rejected several suggestions to be freed by the Ustashas, and when they last came to pick him up, he only asked to complete a sentence on the thesis for Croatian history. He was shot on 9 July 1941 in Dotr\u0161\u010dina as the \"spiritual initiator\" of the resistance, as the Ustashas announced in an advertisement.
\nKer\u0161ovani published socio-economic analyses, literary reviews and studies on Croatian writers (\u0160enoa, Kova\u010di\u0107, Cesarac, etc.). In prison, he wrote a summary.
