Jevrem Jezdić

Jevrem Jezdić (March 13, 1916 – December 9, 1997) was a Serbian historian, publicist and writer.

At the end of the 1950s Jezdić illegally fled to the USSR together with his wife and daughter, as a part of the so-called "informbiro" emigration.

Jezdić remained a true communist, but he never forgave the USSR authorities for the death of his wife.

One of Jezdić's early role-models was the Russian revolutionist and philosopher Mikhail Bakunin, because of his tempestuous life.

The most colorful character from Jezdić’s novel "Contempt" is a mysterious old man Aleksei Krinkop, who shouts: "Where authorities exist, freedom is gone", which is a motto of several anarchistic groups.
