Several Pages from the

Karađorđević's Bloody Album

One night in December 1918, at 1 o’ clock, a group of Serbian officers,

accompanied by soldiers and a group of the worst scum, hired to terrorize the
honorable and peaceful population, carried out an abominable crime in Nikšić,
aiming to nullify the authority of the church, that is, of the saints-patrons of the
Montenegrin nation and Montenegrin state. They made three coffin-shaped
wooden chests. One had “St. Peter“ written on it, the second one “St. Basil“, and
the third one “Montenegrin crown“. These coffins were carried through the town
in a church procession manner, thereafter stopping at the town square, where
they dug three graves, in which the three coffins were buried. After that they
held office for the dead, which is done in the Orthodox Church before funeral. As
the Orthodox Church custom of liquid offering is to pour wine and perfumed oil
over a grave, Serbian officers instead pissed publicly over the graves.
