This paper deals with the biography of the national hero Marko Kulić, an important person in the history and culture of Pančevo, not only of this city. Marko Kulić was only 27 years old when he died, but that is not an indication of the content of his life or the variety of topics and questions to which his life points. These topics and questions, together with the understanding of the influence, causes, and consequences that determined Kulić’s life orientation, form the focus of this research so that the results can be seen and applied, which, through understanding the individual, strives to understand society. The key events of his life are covered: birth, childhood, attending elementary school, moving to Vojvodina, completing the shoemaking trade, the question of coming to Pančevo, founding „Abrašević“, leading strikes, World War II in the city, and engagement during the war, as well as arrest and torture in the „Svilara“ Camp. The basis of the research was archival material found in the Historical Archive of Pančevo, then valuable oral sources obtained from interviews with Kulić’s descendants and heirs, as well as the press, field research, and numerous professional literature, chosen with a reserve, considering the ideological framework of the post-war regime in which it was created. |
