Radomir Dražović

Radomir Dražović, was a politician of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia. Radomir used to be serving as the Chairman of the Yugoslav Communist Party and a deputy in Yugoslavia's convention.

History:

Radomir was born on the 2nd of June, 1902, in the town of Kruševac, located in the former Kingdom of Serbia.

Radomir started gaining an interest in politics by the young age of 14 and eventually by the age of 18 in 1920, he started attending law school. He eventually graduated in May of 1923, by the age of 20.

Soon he was also drafted to fight in the Serbo-Croatian war which lasted from 1926-1927, there he rose up the military ranks until he became a brigadier general, controlling the 2nd battalion of Kragujevac.

Socialist beliefs:

Soon enough, in 1932, at the age of 30, he joined the Serbian Socialist Party, where he met many like-minded people, including Petar Oskar Potočnik the former premier of Yugoslavia. Petar and Radomir shared their beliefs with each other, Radomir eventually becoming more and more radical due to hearing Petar's and others beliefs.

Radomir had created his own type of socialism, which explains that the military should be built up all the time in case of war and that the military shall control the people and state. This type of socialism is called Radical Radomirism.

WWII and current political position:

Radomir was drafted to the front during the beginning of the war in Serbia, at the age of 38, in 1940. Eventually, Radomir was promoted to the rank of general, in March of 1942, where he spent hours and hours into the night on coming up with new strategies to win the war.

Radomir eventually retired from the military in late November of 1943, as he realized that the war was over for Serbia. He would go back to fighting in February of 1944, however, as he fought along with Dzjugasvili and the Yugoslav socialist partisans to "liberate" Serbia from the "cruel" leader, so that socialism would rise in Yugoslavia.

After the war, he became the new chairman of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, which fused with the Croatian partisan league and the Montenegrin socialist fighters party. He arrested his political opponents to assure his victory in the election of the chairman position. The arrests caused a deep division in the party, with radicals fighting against the more conservative deputies.

Radomir also advocated for the use of slave labour to boost the industry of Yugoslavia, taking prisoners from their cells and making them work in factories across the country.

Secret police and crimes against humanity:

In April 1946, Radomir created a secret police battalion by the name of the Battalion of the Partisan will, which had around 2 000 members and acted as a secret police force, via raiding different headquarters of politicians with different ideologies to arrest or even execute the leaders on the spot.

Radomir also used these captured politicians as slaves to the communist system, by making them work in factories across the country without any pay in terrible working conditions. This caused outrage against him, with many people calling for his deposal, most notably Franjo I.

At the start of the year 1947, in January, Radomir had made a warrant for Franjo I's arrest and gave the order of finding Franjo and "bringing him to justice" to the Battalion of the Partisan will.

Arrest and execution:

On the 11th of March, 1948, Radomir went outside the convention at 10:20 AM. He decided to try and make his men knock on the doors of the houses of Belgrade and ask them if they've seen Franjo I. During this time, the convention ordered the arrest of Radomir for crimes against humanity.

At 1 PM, a small force of 500 men arrived in Belgrade and the Lieutenant of the force started speaking with Radomir. Eventually it got to the topic of if the force would help Radomir in searching for Franjo, but the Lieutenant said that they were there to arrest Radomir himself. Radomir started yelling out that he was innocent and told the battalion to arrest the men, but since only 100 men were there at the time, they were too afraid to fight the larger force of 500 men.

At 2 PM, Radomir was finally put into the car and he was later driven to the prison complex in Skopje. A month later on the 17th of April, 1948, Radomir was lead outside by the guard who was guarding his cell and he was told he'd be set free. Then, the guard shot him 6 times as he gasped for air and collapsed, marking the end of Radomir's life.
