ALJ0S

Najmlajsi brat v romanu Do
stojevskega "Bratje Karamazo-
vi" Aljosa je skusal vse razume-
ii in nicesar obsoditf, kar sc je
dogajalo v njegovi druzini in
okolici. TAX je bill tudi mas ju-
max, XII pa kljub vsemu nj mogel
razumeti nastopa nasih belogar-
distov in postal je prepriean
partizan.
Aljosa je bilo njegovo parti-
zansko ime. Bill je visoke, vitke,
toda krepke postave, svetlih, ma
zaj pocesanih las, dobrodusnega,
najveckrat nasmejanega obraza,
tako da je v tezkih cash parti-
zanskih nastopov in umikov
ucinkovala njegova pojava kot
pravi BALKAN. V MEM so bile
povezane vrline severa in juga.
Rojen il ceske matere je prvic
zrl z svojimi otroskimi ocmi
bratsko zvezdnato nebo. V ljud-
ski in srednji Soil je crpal slo-
vensko vzgojo in partizan Aljo-
sa Sc je cutil po ocetu Slovenca.
Videl in uzival je lepoto sloven-
skin planin, modrino jadranske-
ga morja, tajnosti zelenih goz-
dov in neizrecno je ljubil Jugo-
Slavic, XII so jo naskoeili in raz-
mesarili Italijani in Nemci. V
MEM je vse kipelo v hrepenenju
po sodelovanju pri osvoboditvi
domovine.
Widow dan je zapisan v njego-
vi usodni zvezdi, ia dan ga je
potegnil il druzine in IL Sol, ter
ga postavil "a narodnega borca-
partizana. Widow dan je prank

Kakor vseh drugih, tako je
bila tudi njegova partizanska
pot prenapolnjena z trpljenjem
neprespanih noci, krvavih zuljev
ma nogah, pomanjkanjem hra-
ne in vode, bojev, vecnih zased
in izdaj. Kot smell, ponosni So
kol je svojimi tovarisi cuval
