Lovili su ih Rimljani, kršćani, muslimani, Vikinzi, Tatari i izvozili po čitavom svijetu. Sumorno se zaključivalo da postoji nešto u slavenskom karakteru što ih osuđuje na ropstvo. To je način mišljenja nametnut robovima da bi se držali u očajanju.'

History is anyway the 'dead' past... I should not have dug it up here, I admit, digging it up is usually painful task which actually requires an extremely deep analysis and devotion. Anyway, what I'm pretty sure about is that it will unfortunately take us a long time to reach the UK's heights of civic consciousness.

But have in mind that at the time, in fact, half of the world was under their rule. That is maybe one of the reasons why there are not so many similar countries... :) N.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666424917700887686.post-45916253171250435922012-05-05T04:01:02.730-07:002012-05-05T04:01:02.730-07:00long live hungary :)long live hungary :)Janko Andrijasevichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683564154547897718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666424917700887686.post-14032730736396092862012-05-05T03:10:27.729-07:002012-05-05T03:10:27.729-07:00I once had a great conversation about W.Faulkner i...I once had a great conversation about W.Faulkner in a Budapest's market with a young man selling cosmetics. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
