He was posthumously proclaimed a People's Hero of Yugoslavia. At the age of fifteen, Stojanović became an activist in a group of student organizations called Young Bosnia, which strongly opposed Austria-Hungary's rule over Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 1912, Stojanović was inducted into ''Narodna Odbrana'', an association founded in the Kingdom of Serbia with the aim of organizing a guerrilla resistance to the annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary. Stojanović was arrested by the Austrian police in July 1914, and although he was sentenced to 16 years' imprisonment, he was pardoned in 1917. He graduated as a Doctor of Medicine after World War I, and in 1929 commenced a private practice in Prijedor. He became a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) in September 1940. After the invasion of Yugoslavia by the Axis powers and their creation of the Independent State of Croatia, Stojanović was imprisoned in June 1941 by the Ustaše—the fascist government of the puppet state. He escaped from prison and went to Mount Kozara, where he joined communists who had escaped from Prijedor. The KPJ chose Stojanović to lead the uprising in the district of Prijedorpart of the area of Kozara. The uprising began on 30 July 1941 although neither Stojanović nor any other communists had much control over it at this stage. The Serb villagers of the district seized control of a number of villages and threatened Prijedor, which was defended by German, Ustaše, and Croatian Home Guard forces. In August 1941, Stojanović was recognised as the principal leader of the insurgents in Kozara, who were then organised into Partisan military units. Under Stojanović's direction, the Kozara Partisans began attacking the enemy from the end of September 1941. At the beginning of November 1941, all Partisan units in Kozara were merged into the 2nd Krajina National Liberation Partisan Detachment, commanded by Stojanović. By the end of 1941, most of Kozaracovering about 2,500 square kilometreswas controlled by Stojanović's detachment. On 30 December 1941, Stojanović arrived in the Grmeč district, which was in the zone of responsibility of the 1st Krajina National Liberation Partisan Detachment. The Italian troops operating in that area portrayed themselves as protectors of the Serbian people. Stojanović's tasks were to counter the Italian propaganda and to mobilise the Partisans of the 1st Krajina Detachment to fight against them. He stayed in the area until mid-February 1942, by which time the Partisan leadership of Bosnia-Herzegovina considered he had completed his tasks successfully. At the end of February 1942, Stojanović was appointed chief of staff of the Operational Headquarters for Bosanska Krajina—a unified command of all Partisan forces in the regions of Bosanska Krajina and central Bosnia. The Operational Headquarters' main task was to counter the rising influence of the Serb-nationalist Chetniks in those regions. On 5 March 1942, Stojanović was severely wounded in a Chetnik ambush. He was taken to a field hospital in the village of Jošavka. Members of the Jošavka Partisan Company defected to the Chetniks on the night of 31 March, and took Stojanović prisoner. The next night, a group of Chetniks killed him. In April 1942, the 2nd Krajina Detachment was named "Mladen Stojanović" in his honour, and he was proclaimed a People's Hero of Yugoslavia a few months later. After the war, his service to the Partisan cause was commemorated by the construction of a memorial in Prijedor, the naming of streets, public buildings and a park after him, in song and in film. ==Early life== Stojanović was the third child and the first son of Serbian Orthodox priest Simo Stojanović and his wife Jovanka. He was born in Prijedor on 7 April 1896. Bosnia-Herzegovina was then occupied by Austria-Hungary; Prijedor was located in Bosanska Krajina, the north-western region of the province.〔Bašić 1969, pp. 9–12〕 Stojanović's father was the third generation of his family to serve as a Serbian Orthodox priest. He had graduated from a theology faculty, becoming the first in the family to attain a higher level of education. Simo was active in the political struggle for ecclesiastical and educational autonomy for the Serbs in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Mladen Stojanović's maternal grandfather was a Serbian Orthodox priest from Dubica, Teodor Vujasinović;〔Adamović 2010, para. 2–5〕 he had participated in Pecija's revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Stojanović completed his elementary education at the Serbian Elementary School in Prijedor in 1906. In 1907, he finished the first grade of his secondary education at the gymnasium in Sarajevo, before he entered the gymnasium in Tuzla, where he would complete the remaining seven grades. His brother Sreten Stojanovićwho would become a prominent sculptorjoined him at the Tuzla gymnasium in 1908.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mladen Stojanović」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
