Blagoje Mićkov Krušić (Serbian Cyrillic: Благоје Мићков Крушић; 1880 — 1944) was a soldier, gendarmerie sergeant and political convict. He was born in the village of Prigradina in Banjani, and together with his family moved to Kuršumlija in the village of Dabinovac in 1889. Blagoje dedicated his whole life to the struggle for liberation of Serbian lands then in the hands of Turks or other foreigners. As a fourteen-year-old, he joined Vojin Tankosić's cheta company with whom he fought the Turkish invaders for six years.
He participated in the battles of Cer, Drina, Kolubara, Kosmaj, Prizren, Kajmakchalan as well as on the Salonika front.
He was awarded numerous medals for bravery in the Balkan Wars and the First World War. Blagoje M. Krušić is the holder of the Golden star of Karađorđe, the Imperial Russian Cross of St. George, the French military Croix de guerre medal with swords, the Legion of Honor, two Obilić medals for bravery, four monuments for participation in the wars from 1912 to 1918, including the Albanian one. As a fighter of the "Knjaz Mihailo" Iron Regiment, he was wounded five times. Regent Aleksandar I Karađorđević, in his position near the Black River on 14 March 1917, took off Karađorđe's star with swords from his chest and presented it to Blagoja. The French general Guillaume, for his merits in the Balkan wars, personally presented the French Médaille militaire decoration, the "Military" medal, which was awarded to the most meritorious soldiers, and was established on 22 January 1852.
After 1918, he moved to Kruševac and then to Niš. He married Zorka Vojinović of Kruševac, with whom he had two sons, Petar and Dragutin, and a daughter, Slavka. In August 1944, he was shot by members of OZNA as an enemy of the new people's government and an agent of the Ravnogorski movement and Draža Mihailović. His bones have not yet been found and his war decorations have been robbed. He was rehabilitated on 13 July 2007 by the decision of the District Court in Nis.[1]
Legacy
[edit]In June 2024 a belated monument was erected at Počivala near Velimlja in his honour.[2][3]
