Biography
While studying abroad, in the German Empire, his interest in the work of Anton Chekhov and Afanasy Fet[3] led him to study the Russian language and try his hand in translating. He eventually translated several of Chekhov's short stories and novellas, entitled Čehovljeve pripovetke[dubious – discuss] and Ruski ljudi (both published in 1890)[4][page needed] and Fet's poetry.[2] He also authored several books, including a memoir that appeared in 1963 in Belgrade's newspaper Politika entitled "A Witness to an Era."
