Krsto Cicvaric
Krsta Cicvarić (Serbian Cyrillic: ; Nikojevići, 14 September 1879 - Belgrade, 31 October 1944) was a Serbian activist and journalist. In the first decade of the 20th century, he presented anarcho-syndicalist ideas, and at the end of his life he was the editor of several pro-German tabloids and declared anti-Semitic. [1] [2]
He was shot without trial on 31 October 1944, although completely blind, by the partisans after liberation of Belgrade.
Biography
He was born on 14 September 1879 in the village of Nikojevići near Užice.
He attended Užice Gymnasium. He refused to attend religious education classes, and stated that he was an atheist [3] and dropped out of school in 1896.
Shortly afterward, he left the city and moved to Belgrade, where he finished high school and enrolled at Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade. After that, he enrolled at the faculty in Vienna, but decided to return to Serbia and engage in anarchist activism.
Cicvarić was arrested and imprisoned several times for writing. In 1905 Vasilije Knežević, one of the members of Cicvarić's group "Radnički klub Jednakost" founded the anarchist newspaper "Hleb i sloboda". He soon started paying fines for the paper, and for not being able to pay it, he was sentenced to prison, while Cicvarić took over the paper. The paper stopped publishing after only 3 issues, and Knežević settled in Valjevo, disappointed with his contact with the anarchists Cicvarić and Petro Munjić. [4] Cicvarić, together with Petar Munjić, founded the anarchist newspaper "Radnička borba" in 1907. The newspaper stopped publishing after the events related to the strike of sugar factory workers in Čukarica in February 1907. [5] Due to anarchist texts he was imprisoned in Požarevac and released during the annexation crisis. [6]
In 1911, Živojin Dacic's printing house, where Cicvaric's newspaper "Novo Vreme" was printed, employed Nedeljko Cabrinovic, to whom he donated a large number of books and all his works. Cabrinovic took them with him to Sarajevo, where some were burned by his mother, and some he saved and lent to friends. [7] [8]
In 1911, the daily "Straža" was launched as a "free-thinking public opinion body". The director was Krsta Cicvarić, and he edited it with Dušan Šijački. [9] He was mobilized during the Balkan Wars. Leo Trotsky mentions him in the war correspondence "Balkan Wars 1912-1913" as a "free anarchist" and director of the newspaper "Straza", which he claims to criticize Serbian Social Democrats on a level of gossip. [10] In the socialist "Radnički novinami", in July 1915, they reject what the "royal republican and imperial democrat" Cicvarić writes about them. <Re
