Legendary Serb military leader Putnik honored in Belgrade

Unlike other languages where words most often are combinations of sounds Slavic/Sloven words always had meanings and derivatives. I don't know how well Slavs are aware of it so I offer you to visit Vitaly Sundakov's RUSSIAN SCHOOL OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

But right now I can offer you my own interpretation of words "Vojvoda (voivode) Radomir Putnik"

1/ Vojvoda (voivode) is a Hordian military commander in far away regions who never interfered civil life ruled by local kniaz/khan/emir/murza ... But during war he became the main person in the region so even local kniaz was submitted to him. Because the Great Mongol/Roman Horde was a military empire. Voivodas were appointed to every important territory. The word is composed of two other words VOI and VODA (vojevoda) where VOJ means "warrior" = воитель, воин, вой ... VODA = vodit, lead, head. Altogether it makes LEADING THE VOJS (= АТАМАН). Russian high military commanders are still called ВОЕНАЧАЛЬНИК = ВОЕВ НАЧАЛЬНИК = COMMANDER OF THE VOJS.

2/ Radomir is a good Slavic name but because very often Slavs belonged to the caste of the warriors (Kshatry) their names were military names. Serbs can see it if only they look around. So Radomir is composed of RADO (= RADA = ORDA = HORDE) and MIR. This word had two though close meanings MIR (peace) and MIR (world). In 14-15 centuries they were written as Cyrillic "МР" but in 17-18 centuries it got two writings as Mir (МИР= world) and as Mir (МЪР = peace).

3. Putnik and Putin sound close enough but meant quite different things. Guess I don't need to explain what Putnik means in both languages but with Purin it's different as even quite a few Russians understand the word. There were two types of roads in the Horde. One that run along the rivers (дорога) and the other that connected two such дорога roads. This second type were called PUTJ (= путь) and were often perpendicular to the DOROGA roads.

Another interesting fact: There is a mountain in Western Canada that was named after Radomir Putnik.... Mount Putnik

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Putnik

Yes, there is a mountain in the province of Alberta named after Vojvoda Putnik. But let's not forget the other Generals, Vojvoda Stepa Stepanovic, Zivojin Misic, Petar Bojovic, Pavle Juricic. For two years they held the Austro-Hungarian empire over insurmountable odds.

Prince Alexander Karadjeordjevic was also fighting in the front lines leading the cavalry.

However, the greatest speech and heroism was exhibited when Belgrade apparently fell to Austro-Hungary in June 1915. King Peter I, who was very ill asked his guards to put on his full military regalia. He stood at the old palace balcony, his voice could barely be heard. He said to his people, I release you from your duty to King and Country. You are free to choose your destiny. However, I stay here in Belgrade with my family to fight on. Next day, on Vidovdan, June 30, 2015 Belgrade was relieved and the Austro-Hungarian army was driven back across the Sava back to Vienna leaving countless of weapons behind.
