[Xuca]

How was Hajduk Veljko killed:

A)He was shot by a rifle
B)His head was cut off with a sword
C)A canon ball split him in half
D)He fell down a kliff
E)He wasn't killed, he died of natural causes

[Traveller]

B)His head was cut off with a sword?

[Xuca]

No, his head remained firmly attached to his body after his death.

[Heretic]

First, could You tell a little who was that Hajduk and why he's faimous?

C) (I guess, but even don't know were then cannons when Hajduk lived :scratch: ..)

[Xuca]

It's C. I'll post something about him in the history thread when I have time (probably for the weekend). And hajduk isn't a name, as it seems you thought, but a profession (I accidentaly put a capital letter).

[Traveller]

Not exactly a profession either (at least if Serbian haiduks were like the Bulgarian ones). But haven't I already written about the haiduks somewhere? :scratch:
I'm a little disappointed that You wonder if there were cannons in these times - of course there were, and muskets/rifles etc. too! Xuca, you should really write something about him in the History!

[Heretic]

I'll have on mind that all answers to your both questions are in history thread. Wont it be cheating if I always search for them there? Cause I know nothing about these Balkan stories :evil:

About Lithuania (again)!
Which two words doesn't fit here (two of them are not folk festivals)?

A) Kupolinės
B) Žolinė
C) Grabnyčios
D) Rasos
E) Žalvarinės
F) Žalčialunkis

:lol:

[Traveller]

Check the history thread! If you find something there about the haiduks, I'm gonna learn how to fly! It's a long time since we've been posting "history thread" questions, especially since we rarely post in the history thread itself anymore...

B and F?

[Xuca]

C, F
you did post something about hajduks,Traveller, long time ago, so it's flying for you! :biggrin:

[Traveller]

? :scratch: What have I posted? Cuz the closest I remember is about "the myth of the Balkan heroes", but that's not for haiduks...

Btw, Heretic (and all the others), I suggest (although I think it was suggested before too) that after the right answer is given, the one who posted the question should not also say whose answer is right, but also in the same post explain shortly what are the meanings of all the possible answers, i.e. what are these festivals and which are not (and what they are; I think it didn' become very clear...).

[Xuca]

It was just one paragraf
Haiduk movement XVI-XVII century - this is in the time of the Turkish yoke. The "haiduti" (singular - haiduk) were Bulgarian insurgents, which travelled in relatively small groups (called "cheta" (чета) and therefore were sometimes called "chetnitzi") and attacked the Turkish oppressors, mainly through ambushes, but sometimes also with direct open fights. Most of the Bulgarian heroes in folk-songs and tales from the Ottoman time are exactly "voevoda" (leader) of such groups.
with some pic. So you did write about them, no matter how short it was! :tongue:

[Traveller]

Ok, but I didn't say when will I learn how to fly! :tongue:

[Heretic]

Of course after the right answer I'll explain a little about these festivals.
But no right answer - no explanation :wink:

[Xuca]

At last, I'm wrong! :biggrin:
