A great saint of the Serbian people from the near past. He stood for his people against the communists. About them he wrote:

""Those who educate by blinding rather than by enlightening - what will You do with them, O Lord? They turn Your children away from You, and prevent them from approaching Your Grace, for they say: '"The Lord" is an archaic term of your dead grandparents. It is an old amulet, which your grandparents used to wear but they have died off. We shall teach you how to till the earth, how to fatten the body, and how to dig for gold, which shines more brilliantly than the dead Lord.'... What will You do with these corrupters of Your children, O Lord?"

"I shall do nothing to them, for they have done everything to curse their own seed and breed. Truly, they have prepared a worse judgment for themselves and their people than the scribes and Sadducees. For they had the example of these latter, and failed to learn from it. In their old age, they will hear sabers rattling at their threshold.... It will be worse for them than for the Babylonians, when in their might they used to worship blood and gold.... First will come hunger, such as even Babylon never knew. And then war, for the sake of plundering bread, from which they will return defeated. And then an internecine slaughter and burning of cities and towns. And then diseases, which the hands of physicians will not dare touch..."
