After the delimitation of state borders between the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and Hungary, the Yugoslav state obtained the southern part of Baranja region. Starting a de-Magyarization process, the new government made the decision to eliminate the consequences of the Hungarian presence in the former regions of Southern Hungary. As a part of this process, the alteration of old place names took place in 1922. In Baranja this assignment was given to the county school- inspector Milan Đ. Ćosić. With minor changes of his suggestions, old Hungarian names were officially replaced by names which were in accordance with the Slavic / “Serbo-Croatian” language. In general, places were given new names based on: the geographical situation of the places; the translations of old Hungarian and German oeconyms; oeconyms derived from the Hungarian and German languages but conforming to the Serbo-Croatian language; historical localities and names of cadastral plots and other smaller toponyms in the surroundings of the settlements. Even though some places were given new names without any very good reasons, the whole procedure was relatively honest, which can be confirmed by the fact that these names have been kept to the present day.

Tek kosa, svetloplava, gusta, spušta se kao meki talas. Asja nije volela da uči, i sa devetnaest godina je napustila školu. Svi su joj profesori davali dobre ocene za njenu nezemaljsku lepotu, jedino se informatičarka (usamljena žena od 56 godina) zainatila, a Asja nije htela da polaže popravni i ispisala se. Imala je toliko obožavalaca da je odavno isključila telefon i navlačila šeširić do očiju, samo da je ne prepoznaju. Ali ni šeširić nije pomogao. Njoj samoj se, razumljivo, niko nije sviđao. Svi su bili „bez veze”. Ni novac od njih nije htela da uzme. A želela je ipak da živi kao čovek. Roditelji su joj bili u drugom gradu, oboje stariji, plus dve sestre, morala je, dakle, da računa samo na sebe.

The text deals with the archive material depicting the construction process of the Savina Monastery Big Church (1777–1797). The original materials were synthetized from the Monastery books, regularly kept from mid-XVIII century, mostly from the Book of Expenses from 1777. Making use of favorable social and political circumstances, more reluctant involvement of Russia in the Balkans, the 1768–1774 Russo-Turkish war, big migrations of the population from Dalmatia and the Bay of Kotor in the 1770s, the general economic crisis of the Republic, resulting in certain easiness and tolerance towards Orthodox Christians, the Savina fraternity finally managed to receive approval from the Venetian authorities for the construction of the Big Church (1776). Following the construction of the Big Church, according to given data, we also assembled a picture about the life in the Monastery, circumstances, problems, activities and efforts of the Savina fraternity, as well as numerous accompanying events, which marked the two¬decade erection of the Savina Monastery Big Church, the zion of the Orthodox people in the XVIII century Bay of Kotor, in the absence of the Diocese of Dalmatia, and the Bay of Kotor under foreign Venetian rule.

Besides its usage with the primary meanings: 1) social status; 2) subjectship, the term re‘āyā was used to denote, as many historians tend to claim, “only non-Muslim subjects” from “sometime” in the second half of the eighteenth and in the nineteenth century. The paper demonstrates that this meaning of the term re‘āyā had already been in use since the first decades of the eighteenth century, and not to the exclusion of but along with other meanings. More frequent replacement of the neutral shari‘a term zimmī(ler) and the usual official term kefere with the word re‘āyā should be considered a consequence of structural social change taking place in the same century

Based on 1 Peter that the Christians are a chosen race, a holy nation called to proclaim τας αρετάς – the mighty acts of Him who called us out of darkness, the author discusses certain aspects of holiness or sanctity from the perspective of the tradition of the Orthodox Church. After a brief introduction which reminds that holiness is the final affirmation of the eternal human existence as a unique personality, the paper brings some generalities about holiness as a theocentric concept, but it also asserts a sort of historical development of the concept, as well as adding new content to the concept. During the apostolic and postapostolic period, the concept of holy pertained to each member of the Church, especially each participant in the Eucharistic communion. In the period after the prosecution, the concept was narrowed down from all to some, prominent and outstanding, members of the Church. Moreover, a spatial shifting of sanctity from the parish temple to the monastery and the desert can also be observed, and in particular, what author emphasizes by analyzing the theory of sanctification, the shifting of sanctity from the nave to the altar of the temple, that is to say, from the ‘λαός’ (the people of God) to the clergy. Although the theory of sanctification has never been fully actualized in the Orthodox Church, its consequences can be noticed even today.

An extant donor’s inscription in the fresco over the portal, tells that the church was completed on 11 October 1499 owing to the efforts of nun Xenia together with nuns Theopha, Martha and Maria. The nuns are also depicted in a group portrait behind the Virgin Mediatrix, who asks Christ the King of Kings for absolution. The paper deals with sources and mural representations as analogies with each of the depicted figures, offering a list of subjects, implied by the described painting.

In Zivko Nikolic's films, both documentary and fiction, figurative statements in general and archetypal figures as individual segments of their generic structure, form an essential condition for their overall expressiveness and, in addition, have a crucial impact on the creation of diegetically functional poetic images. Diverse and plausible postulating of mise en scene, figuresymbols and figures with associative meaning, bearing in mind not only contextual but also intertextual permeation, are the basis for forming and shaping the visual compositional structure of Nikolic's film stories. From the entire Nikolic's oeuvre, in this sense, we highlight Gorge as an exemplary documentary which manifests all the value of his poetic expression.
