The Perception of the First World War and Everyday Life on the Example of Vladimir Vasiljević's Diary
Karlo Rukavina
Sažetak
This article presents an analysis of the diary written by the Austro-Hungarian officer Vladimir Vasiljević. The purpose of the article is to explore the perception and impact of war on the individual person, in this case, on officer Vasiljević. Likewise, this paper examines the perception of enemies and companions, as well as the Yugoslavian sentiment that can be read from his diary. The research focuses on actualities of war and the soldiers’ life in the trenches and their daily routines ranging from constant fear and exposure to artillery fire all the way to the weather they had to endure during trench warfare. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of human relations within the Austro-Hungarian army where Slavs often felt inferior to the Hungarians and Germans, while treating Slavic enemies, like Russians, as brothers because of cultural and religious similarities.
