Život i delo dr Dimitrija Đurovića iz Petrovog Kopita (1882−1945)

Abstract

Namera nam je da u ovom radu predstavimo život i delo zaboravljenog međuratnog slaviste i rusiste dr Dimitrija Đurovića i da damo njegov potpun biobibliografski opis. Životni i profesionalni put D. Đurovića poveo ga je od Danilovgrada, gde je započeo školovanje, do Rusije, gde je, kao daroviti učenik, dobio priliku da nastavi i završi školovanje i započne profesionalnu i naučnu karijeru, i vratio ga je u matičnu zemlju posle završetka Velikog rata (Prvog svetskog rata). Rad u različitim ustanovama srednjoškolskog i visokoškolskog usmerenja, kao i različiti predmeti koje je predavao: ruski, srpskohrvatski (srpski), crkvenoslovenski, nemački jezik, istorija, uticali su na rad D. Đurovića, zbog čega on ostavlja za sobom bogato i heterogeno delo. Na početku karijere pisao je teme i radove iz paleoslavistike, lingvističke slavistike i rusistike, istorije i teorije književnosti, a kasnije se posvećuje pisanju udžbenika, prevodilaštvu i publicistici. Zbog političkih aktivnosti i saradnje sa pripadnicima NOP-a, iako duboko religiozan čitavog života, 1942. biva uhapšen i sproveden u logor Banjica a kasnije i deportovan u logor smrti Mauthauzen, gde će umreti mučeničkom smrću pred sam kraj Drugog svetskog rata i slom fašizma, protiv kojeg se borio perom u svojim publicističkim radovima.

This paper provides the detailed account of life and work of Dr Dimitrije Đurović, a forgotten expert in Slavic and Russian studies who lived between the world wars. He started his education in Danilovgrad and moved to Russia, where he was offered the opportunity to continue and finish his studies as a gifted student, and start his professional and research career, but he returned to his motherland after the Great War ended (the First World War). Working in various secondary and academic education facilities, as well as different subjects he taught, such as Russian, Serbo-Croatian (Serbian), Church Slavonic, German, History, influenced his work enabling him to leave a prolific and heterogenous legacy. In the beginning of his career, he wrote papers on Old Church Slavonic, Slavic and Russian linguistic studies, history and theory of literature, whereas later he dedicated his efforts to writing coursebooks, translating and journalism. Due to his political activities and cooperating with the Resistance Movement in Yugoslavia, even though he was deeply religious his whole life, he was arrested in 1942 and taken to the concentration camp Banjica and subsequently deported to the death camp Mauthausen, where he was died a martyr’s death just before the end of the Second World War and fall of fascism, against which he fought verbally in his journal articles.
