provalija_abyss
Provalija is the Serbian word for "abyss."

The Years of Entanglement: Yugoslavia 1981-1990 is a photo essay by Dushan Drakulich. It has pictures from all over pre-war Yugoslavia, including a few from Slovenia. It’s a fantastic collection and immediately apparent that Drakulich has razor-sharp eyes and a talent for juxtaposition. (For example, look at the picture on this page — second from the top.)

Of course, many of the pictures get their bite from the fact that we all know what happened to Yugoslavia. The page of propaganda slogans, especially the one praising the "Single Indivisible Our Mutual Homeland Yugoslavia," is depressing to see. Especially when the "indivisible" would become "violently divisible" just two years later.

For more photo essays by Drakulich, visit his main page.

(Many thanks to the indefatigable plep!)
