SERBIA - National review, No 89
SERBIA - National review, No 89


Prologue

The farewell to 2021 will be quiet, full of angst and shadows. It's not just another pearl on a thinned thread. The key that lost its lock. We all feel that weight and the dark vagueness. We all feel that something is deeply wrong in today’s world. Some acquire their apparitions at a high price, others desperately seek defense from them. From the illusion of politics, medicine, economy, marketing, technology, the demon of money, chthonic reptiles. The new issue of the National Review, the last in 2021, is a proven tool against the ”sum of the unbearable universe”. You are not here by chance, so you must stop by. <

IN LUŽNICE, AREA CALLING FOR AN EARLY START
A Smile of an Old Lady from Babušnica
She appears in all the legends about the origin of the name of the main place in the Lužnice valley. That old lady. She donated gold coins and saved houses, rebelled against the oppressors, flew in from the vicinity of Požarevac, waited for them from the wars and planted roadside monuments. This interesting part of Serbia, although a bit neglected and forgotten, keeps its waters, lookouts, canyons, its healing spas and memories wrapped in a story, its vurda and half-a-meter long fritters. The new roads will swallow every distance, and then everything will be only up to us

MONASTERY OF ST. CHRISTOPHER IN MISLOĐIN, REBORN FROM THE DARKNESS OF CENTURIES
Resurrection in Crkvine
”You have the blessing of the Mother of God”, said Metropolitan Amfilohije to nun Justina, giving her approval to restore the long forgotten endowment of King Dragutin from weeds and ruins in 2010. Another woman, born in Mislođin, visited the Holy Land and intended to leave a big contribution to a local monastery. An unknown old man approached her and asked in Serbian: ”Why don’t you support the renewal of the shrine in your birthplace?” She watched him astonished, since she did not even know there was a shrine in her village… In October 2015, Patriarch Irinej consecrated the renovated Monastery of St. Christopher

HERITAGE TRAVELOGUE FROM ST. SAVA’S PROVINCE
Light in Herzegovina
It is diving out in front of us, before us, mythical and dreamlike, older than its name and younger than its children, all made of stone and light. Told in the dawn of the birth of words. When we all gather in summers and fill the guestrooms, we mix with shadows, and everything comes to life. Those are beautiful people, both men and women, the favorite type of people in Serbian lands through history and poetry. Dinaric in its heart, Mediterranean on its edges, it has its own archetypical relation to life and to death. Whirlwinds are here, but we are no straws

MANOJLE GAVRILOVIĆ (1945–2020), POET FROM THE GOLDEN FOUNTAIN AND ENCHANTED FIREPLACE
Pictures of Ancient Worlds
He dived into mythical depths, Slavic and Ancient Serbian, and brought bosoms full of refined pictures and melodies from there. He traveled to his homeland in Njegoš’ heavenly carriages to pick poems. His sisters were birds, does, magical girls who make garlands and sweaters from flowers, rays of sun, dew, wind. Bright pictures sometimes resemble folk embroideries and naïve painting, and sometimes deep frescoes. When Serbian books were burned in a library in Croatia in front of cameras, the poet again saw the image of Saint Sava, his favorite hero, under the flaming light of the Cyrillic alphabet. And all roads started opening and all of them led upwards

Life, Novels
MILAN ORLIĆ, WRITER, ABOUT THE DRAMA OF WRITING AND READING IN A TIME SUCH AS OURS
A Poet Is Not Allowed Mediocrity
There is an ”enormous minority”, which will, despite everything, maintain the peaks of culture and meaning. There are still such devotees, even if they are not aware of their feats. They are ”the guardians of the fire”. Highways are not for them, their side roads are narrow, their fate is to ”burn on the cross” and repent sins, both theirs and other people’s, with their striving. Without them there is no general regeneration. Provided, of course, that they do not give in under the burden they are carrying and end up in Herbert’s ”museum of boredom”

KARATEKA JOVANA PREKOVIĆ, OLYMPIC AND WORLD CHAMPION IN 2021
It Is Possible to Be Invincible
My entire nation is my silent and strong comrade. I share every step on the stage with them. Not betraying your neighbors is a great achievement. I think I will have real impressions about everything only when all this passes and when the time comes to classify memories. (…) If you are not decisive, you cannot achieve anything good. It is my attitude in life, sport only helped me shape some procedures and ways. Karate helps children and young people grow into personalities, differentiate good and bad, resist fear and infirmity

ŽIVKO PAPAZ, ATHLETE WITH DISABILITY, WORLD ARCHERY CHAMPION
Don’t Give Up and You Will Get There
Yes. He was only twenty-four years old when, during the war in Bosnia, his spine was severely injured. He remained nailed to the wheelchair. Fighting despair, searching for meaning, fifteen years ago he started shooting professionally. He won medals at all European and world championships, world cups ... Both alone and with a team. In 2011, he had a son, which he considers his trophy of trophies. For him, sharpshooting is also a spiritual-mental discipline, in which one achieves the most important victories, of course, over himself

The City of Murals
The decision was made in within the pandemic austerity, but the results were excellent. The template for the murals painted in the center of Ruma was the famous poem ”Vojvodina” by Miroslav Antić.
