1,2,3,7,10,13,29,55,61,62

1. Historical role model? Sofija Jovanovic, the girl who joined the army in the first Balkan War and proceeded to kick as for many more years. Also Vlad Tepes, always

2.Favorite underrated historical figure - the historical fucking Vlad Tepes. 

3. Funniest historical kerfuffle - i have forgotten all the history i ever knew but uhhhhhh THAT ONE TIME A CHETNIK FROM VRANJE (the southernmost TAIL END of serbia) GOT A BUNCH OF POLES AND UKRAINIANS TO STOP INFIGHTING BECAUSE SOVIETS AT THE DOOR. Also the ratio and difference in utility of Soviet tanks to German in ww2.

7. Which time period would you like to live in - YUGOSLAVIA IN THE 60S. Balkan wars.1400s as a knight. Also the time of the Narentine Pirates because going hungry for days on the Dinaric rocks would be worth being related to the guy who kicked the ass of Venice in a naval battle. Straight up Neolithic culture of Lepenski Vir (later Vinca), nice time before the bronze age collapse. Anything that isn’t now but is also generally here.

10. Favorite movie based on history - uhhhhh if we go roughly based and having gone through 18 levels of adaptation, Coriolanus (2011) with a special shout-out to the fact it’s not only doing a roman general in the modern time but also putting in themes of the Yugoslavian war.

29 - rant about your favorite topic - you know what? there’s going to be a rant incoming, no idea about WHAT but it’ll probably be something not even I expected.

55. Is monarchy outdated? No, but also yes. Sadly, we as people have declined too much for a true monarchy to be viable again - no worthy kings, no service to their people, no proper respect for authority, no worthy authority to respect..

61. Favorite ancient civilization? Vinca - Starcevo (related to the Minoan civilization) in the Balkans, a bronze age thing, and also ancient India (if only their heavily mythologized ancient history, it’s still cool as fuck)

62. Favorite leader of said ancient civilization - WELL, FUCK. I DON’T EVEN KNOW MAN. IF WE GO MYTHOLOGIZED, UHHHHH. MANU FOR HIS LAWBOOK??
