Summary/Abstract: Две револуције на тлу Русије, фебруара и октобра 1917. Годи не имале су далекосежне последице на цео турбулентни 20. век. Русија неће бити творац и гарант мировних уговора после Првог светског рата, чиме ће нехотично охрабривати ревизионизме поражених или држава незадовољних новим поретком. Револуција и грађански рат унели су у европску свакодневицу појам „бољшевизам“, који постаје синоним за свако зло против кога се ваља борити свим средствима, па и у савезу са „црним ђаволом“. За Србију, то је била далекосежна промена тектонског карактера. Може се само нагађати да ли је била тежа неизвесност у току јулске кризе 1914. или губитак ослонца 1917. године. Прошло је сто година од тада. Руска револуција је као тема историчара крајем 20. века постепено маргинализована. Поистовећивана је са идеологизованим клишеом и постепено је подвргавана ништа мање идеологизованој ревизији или друштвеном забораву. [...]

- Summary/Abstract:Considering the chronological framework of modern times and the so-called “long 19th century” with reference to the Balkans, the author comes to the conclusion that, for the Balkans, the 19th century was actually “short” and fit into 36 years - the period between the Congress of Berlin in 1878 and the beginning of World War I in 1914. History allotted quite a short period for the Balkans to pass their way back to Europe, from gaining independence to the “Europeanization” of all life aspects. Being very important for the history of the Balkans, this period has attracted the researchers’ interest and has led to the appearance of numerous scientific works devoted to this period.

- Summary/Abstract:The paper analyses the reliability of the letter of Dragutin Dimitrijević (known as Apis) to Aleksandar Karađorđević and the Supreme Officers’ court which he wrote from prison in 1917. In that letter, Apis claimed that he himself had organized the attempt to assassinate Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. There are many circumstances which raise doubts about reliability of this Apis’s statement, the most important being the following: the letter was written by a prisoner in a special psychological state, while the current foreign policy situation demanded from the Serbian government to find the person responsible for the Sarajevo assassination attempt in order to satisfy Austria–Hungary in case there were negotiations on separate peace.

- Summary/Abstract:General Mihailo Živković was one of the outstanding Serbian military commanders of the Balkan wars and World War I. He made his first officer steps during one of the 19th century wars, and finished his military service at the time of the largest military conflict in the history of Serbia and the world. Being one of the most talented infantry officers of his generation, Živković built a brilliant officer career and took the high post of military minister during the Annexation crisis. During the Balkan wars, he commanded the Ibar Army, and during World War I headed the defense of Belgrade and the Serbian Volunteer Corps in Russia. His views on military science were very close to the Russian military theory and military practice. He trained in Russia, diligently followed the changes in the Russian army, and kept close ties with Russian officers. On the other hand, the Russian military representatives highly appreciated Mihailo Živković and regarded him as the bearer of Russian influence in the Serbian military circles.

- Page Range:115-129
- No. of Pages:15
- Keywords:Serbia; Army; Russian troops; Macedonian front; Historiography;
- Summary/Abstract:The author presents several unknown articles from the military press of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia referring to the activities of Russian troops on the Macedonian front during the period 1916 – 1918. These works also testify about great interest of Yugoslav officers regarding the issue and gratefulness of the Serbian Army members to its Russian comrades who fought together with them on Macedonian front. The articles include some details which could be used as an addition to the existing monographs and dissertations in the Russian language regarding the issue. On the basis of unused records from the Serbian military archives, the author concludes that the idea of sending the Russian troops to the Macedonian front was born within Serbian Supreme Command as the part of a broader perspective of sending Russian troops to act on Western Front. Serbian argumentation also played crucial role in helping the French presume the Russians to make positive decision regarding the Thessalonica issue. Serbian records also show that the stay of Russian troops on Macedonian front was essential from Serbian perspective. That was the reason why Serbs tried to stop their return to Russia after the arrival of Serbian volunteer division from Russia to Macedonian front. However, the level of disorganization of Russian troops caused by the measures of Russian revolutionary government and the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty influenced the turnover of the position of the Serbian Supreme Command regarding the issue, although there was a great need among the Serbs for the combatants. Serbian Supreme Command decided not to allow the Russian Officers and Soldiers to join its units, because of fear of potentially bad influence on the moral and obedience of Serbian troops on Macedonian front. Serbian experience regarding the Russians gained from the direct contact and joint combat actions on Macedonian front shows that, although they shared the same civilization values, Serbian and Russian soldiers were very different regarding their military skills, obedience and view of life, mostly due to different experiences of social, institutional and political developments in both countries.

It is necessary to take into account the revolutionary ideas, modified and developed by many generations of Russian revolutionary intelligentsia. After all, these revolutionary ideas were embodied in the theory, which gave birth to the general model of the 20th century revolutions not only in Russia, but later in Yugoslavia as well.

- Keywords:Romanov dynasty;Karađorđević dynasty;Princess Jelena Petrovna Romanova;murder of the Tsar family in Yekaterinburg;Serbian envoy to Russia Miroslav Spalajković;memoirs of Sergei Nikolaevich Smirnov;
- Summary/Abstract:The relations between the two ruling dynasties: the Romanovs (in Russia) and the Karađorđevićs (in Serbia) in the early 20th century was chronologically looped by the dramatic events: the assassination of King Alexander Obrenović in 1903 and the regicide in Russia in 1918. The problem of the strength of the monarchical system was urgent for both countries. This paper analyses the way the representatives of the two dynasties helped each other during the trials of the World War I and the Russian revolution, and raises the question of the Karađorđevićs’ attitude towards the fall of Romanov dynasty. Two dynasties were bound by mutual agreements and obligations, family ties and personal sympathy. In fact, Serbia remained the only reliable ally for representatives of the Romanov dynasty and Russian monarchists. On the other side, the Serbian government adopted a passive attitude towards the destiny of the Tsar family and other members of the Romanov dynasty. This attitude was largely caused by the position of the Serbian envoy to Russia, Miroslav Spalajković, who embraced the February revolution with joy and enthusiasm, welcoming the collapse of the monarchical system in Russia. Spalajković did not show a proper initiative for rescuing the son-in-law of the Serbian king Prince Ivan Konstantinovich Romanov and his wife Jelena Petrovna. S.N. Smirnov, who had shared imprisonment with Elena Petrovna Romanova, testified in his memoirs about the passivity of the Serbian side in the matter of her release.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper deals with the part of the ideological world of Russian emigrants, primarily priests and theologians, who wrote on the pages of the Serbian church press of the 1920s about the reasons and causes of the coup in Russia in 1917. The approach from the standpoint of providentialism, which was traditional for Christian church in explaining the historical processes, dominated; at the same time, apocalyptic–symbolic–esoteric tones prevailed as they were intensified by the real difficulties of refugee life. When Russian emigrants tried to study the mystery of success of the October revolution, they used the Serbian church periodical press to show their anti-Semitic moods, criticism of communism from the Christian position and fear of the Bolshevism.

- Summary/Abstract:On the basis of little-known documents of the Russian State Military–Historical Archive, the author reveals the nuances of establishing the Serbian Volunteer Corps in 1916, and discloses the circumstances of the ethnic conflict within this corps. The article shows that “the ticking Serbo-Croatian bomb” exploded for the first time in 1916, though it seemed crucial to consolidate the efforts of two nations in armed struggle against the common enemy for the purpose of creating a “common” state. The article emphasizes that the relations between the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes within the volunteer corps, as an example of the microcosm, perfectly illustrate the predetermination of the future dramatic destiny of the Yugoslavian state and its army, doomed to collapse from the very outset, even before its official registration.

- Summary/Abstract:Relations between Russia and Serbia, Kingdom of Yugoslavia or FNRY and Soviet Union have been changing during the 20th century. They went through different phases - from support, protection and war alliance to the absence of diplomatic relations, split and conflict. The perception of Russian Emperor Nicholas II among the representatives of Serbian elite, society and media also changed. He was given positive or negative mark and the image was a reflection and an indicator of relations between the two countries. In the period of intense political relations and alliance during the pre-war years and World War I, Serbian politicians and diplomats have depicted the last Russian Emperor as the protector and guardian. After the war, the anti-Communist regime in the newly formed Kingdom of SHS/Yugoslavia refused to recognize the Soviet Union and based on war perception and execution of Nicholas II and his family by the Bolsheviks’ order, the government which consisted of the pre-war ruling dynasty and elite, and Serbian Orthodox Church glorified Nicholas II as a saviour of the state and martyr. Serbian residents also have shared this sense and it culminated with a public demand for his canonization in 1930. However, after Yugoslavia has recognized the Soviet Union in 1940, it slowly started making changes in public mentioning of Russian Emperor. In the period after the World War II, very little was written about the Nicholas II by the Serbian historians. But after the mid-1970s, they have started to clear up the role of the last Russian tsar in the World War I, which continued in the 21st century.

- Keywords:Miloš Moskovljević; Russia; October revolution; Bolsheviks;
- Summary/Abstract:During his stay in Russia, from September 1917 to the end of 1918, Miloš Moskovljević was able to directly observe and analyse the situation on the eve of the October revolution and the following events until the end of October 1917. He wrote down his observations, reflections and comments in a diary which became an interesting historical source for analysing the events that deeply shocked the world. Being a direct and well-informed eyewitness, Moskovljević described the changes happening almost every day and even every hour in his diary. However, until the end of October, 1917, he “doubted” the revolution victory. He tried to minimize the success of the Bolsheviks emphasizing that they were convinced they “couldn’t do anything by themselves”, and that they would “happily agree to bloc with all socialist parties.” Only when the Bolsheviks managed to disperse the Constituent Assembly on January 5, 1918, Moskovljević was forced to state that “they felt stronger than ever.” That is why he expected their “irreconcilable behaviour at the negotiations in Brest-Litovsk” and thought that “they would never agree to a shameful peace with Germany.” But on January 14, at the Congress of Soviets, Trotsky, who had previously advocated a “holy war,” stated that “if it was necessary to conclude peace, it would be a misfortune, not a crime.” This made Moskovljević realize that separate peace was inevitable.

- Keywords:Krunoslav Heruc; Croatian Party of Rights; Slavophilia; Yugoslavism; nationalism; Russia; Serbia; Croatia;
- Summary/Abstract:The article deals with the activities of the members of the Croatian Party of Rights in Russia from mid-19th century till the 1917 October Revolution. Conflict between the Serbian and Croatian program for formation of nation states was related to the aspirations of the Russian and Austrian empire to take part in the division of the Ottoman heritage in the Balkans. In such context, representatives of the Party of Rights sought to create a political base in Russia for the realization of the main goal of their program: the creation of the Croatian state in the maximum extent – within or outside the Habsburg monarchy. There was a consensus on the basic elements of Croatian national interests between the National Party of J. J. Strossmayer and the Party of Rights of A. Starčević, who cooperated. After E. Kvaternik’s failure to find support in Russia for the program of the Party of Rights, Krunoslav Heruc, very capable advocate and organizer and also a member of the Party of Rights, went to St. Petersburg. In the period from 1885 to 1917, he used the Slavophil ideology to form a number of interconnected associations which influenced various Russian institutions. He wrote for a number of newspapers and magazines in Croatia and Russia, and published a number of publications promoting the ideology of A. Starčević. During the World War I, he joined a group of associates of different nationalities with whom he fought against the policy of the Serbian government and interfered with the formation of volunteer corps in Russia. The success of his actions was partly due to distress in Serbian institutions and demoralization of the Serbian elite after the military defeat and occupation of Serbia in 1915, as well as the lack of understanding of official Russian circles of international relations in the Balkans. Struggle between the Serbian and Croatian politics in Russia was ended with the revolutions in 1917 that have paralyzed the Russian institutions, and then launched a civil war. In such circumstances, the orientation of the Yugoslav program was the only way out for the two opposing sides.

- Summary/Abstract:In Russian and international circles, two lawyers, professors at Saint-Petersburg University – Michael Pavlovich Tchubinskij (1871 – 1943) and Vladimir Dmitrievich Pletnev (1878 – 1954), who emigrated to Belgrade in 1920, gave certain contribution to the later realization of the “Yugoslav principle of uniting”. In 1912, “Slavic Committee” in Petrograd (founded in 1909) was transformed into “Association of Slavic Scientific Society”, which in 1913, because of the war in the Balkans turned to politics. Their activities were met with immediate condemnation of the Government. Then, another “group of progressive scientists, professors and public workers interested in Slavic questions” was formed. Professor M. Tchubinskij was a regular chairman at these meetings. Both M. Tchubinskij and V. Pletnev published their texts in “Interests in Balkans and Government Report” collections of articles (1913). Prof. M. Tchubinskij’s report titled “History of Serbo-Croatian Relations and Intended Union” was published in “Collection of Articles Proceeding Dedicated to A. Shakhmatov” (1916). Yugoslav Committee reissued it in French (“L’Union serbo-croate”, Paris, 1917). For this work, prof. Tchubinskij was awarded St. Sava decoration of the 3rd order by H.R.H. Crown Prince – Regent of the Kingdom of Serbia.

- Summary/Abstract:The adoption of the joint declaration of the Government of the Kingdom of Serbia and the Yugoslav Committee in Corfu in July 1917 is closely related to the February revolution in Russia which strongly influenced the policy changes between the coalitions of the powers in spring and summer of 1917. These changes also created favourable conditions for declaration signing, the most significant being: the collapse of the tsarist regime, which had supported Serbia; the need to review the war objectives, taking into account the possible peace negotiations (the Sixtus Affair); relative liberalization in Cisleithania after the death of Franz Josef (in November 1916) and the adoption of the “trialistic” May Declaration (1917); instability of the general military situation with the tendency to deteriorate for the Entente. When drafting the text of the declaration, Nikola Pašić took all these facts into account. So, we can say that the Corfu Declaration was a forced document, as well as the Nish Declaration (December 1914) which appeared earlier and was also motivated only by the utilitarian causes.

At the same time, the French-Russian cooperation at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is considered as a wide geostrategic context for the Serbian Yugoslavian project because it promoted reorientation of Serbia from Russia to France and resulted in creation of the Yugoslav state. The latest reviews of Serbian and foreign historiography aim to define the ideas and processes which made it possible. The studied works partly disprove of and partly develop the historiography of the previous period, which is also partially considered in the article.

- Summary/Abstract:In the USSR, the totalitarian ideology predetermined dogmatism of scientific ideas in both local and world history. Throughout the Soviet period, the present and the past of “all countries” including Yugoslavia were considered in the light of the quasi-religious messianic doctrine. The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes/Yugoslavia was assessed as an element of “imperialistic Versailles system” and the result of “cruel suppression of revolutionary mood of the masses”. The wrong research paradigm led to the inability to conceptualize the past, to comprehend and set out distinctly the logic of interwar Yugoslav history. Therefore, the reliable reconstruction of events and identification of all their participants remained an infeasible task for the Soviet historiography.
