His love for the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, although he did not live at that time, motivated the young Milan Pejev to build a small museum in his house with all the objects from that time. Through the stories of older people, documentaries and books, he fell in love with the time when, as he himself says, the worker was a gentleman and when everyone could afford to go to the sea, he chose Josip Broz Tito as the protagonist, among a pile of objects.
It all started with Marshal Tito, says Milan, 28, when he found her bust and photo in the house 7 years ago, and fell in love with Yugoslavia even before that. – I was told many of those stories, older people who lived at that time and something attracted me to that time, a carefree time, when, as it were, the worker was a gentleman and a calmer, more pleasant time, when all the The world worked, I went to the sea with that popular red passport and I watched some documentaries, read books, many people told me what life was like and that something attracted me to do everything – recalls Pejev.
Pendants, packaging, badges, shields, pictures, flags and plates from the time of the former Yugoslavia are just some of the items that can be seen in his native museum.
– Many people help me, in a way, because they give me those things, because they probably don’t need them and that means a lot to me. I also bought a lot of things on the Internet, says Pejev.
He is a musician by profession, so going to other cities and neighboring countries also allows him to find old and interesting objects that always remind him of the past.
– I do all this purely for a hobby, I didn’t even think about charging it in the next period … to save that better and quieter moment from oblivion, seeing people, especially young people, and some things that used to be everyday, and are a rarity today – says Pejev.
The rarity, he says, are the badges, which are no longer as current as they used to be, the metal piggy banks, as well as the packaging that is now retro and many other things that have disappeared or are disappearing.
In its museum, you can also see old telephones, televisions, medals from various competitions, a ceremony, as well as the words of Titus on the yellowish canvas: “Man is our greatest wealth.”
The young collector says that the spirit of the time of the former Yugoslavia still lives on for him.
Anyone who wants to get to know Yugoslavia outside of textbooks, says Pejev that they can visit his mini corner. From the youngest, for now only friends came to him, and after the role of curator, he did good concerts and the atmosphere in his little ex “Yuga” with them.
– It is true that it is in the version of the house, but whoever wants and when they are interested can come and see it – says Pejev.
So far, it has only found positive feedback, and it is the one that has received the most from those who tried it at that time.
– They are simply excited, they remember beautiful moments with that memory and they are really excited … I hope that in the future I expand, that as many people as possible come to see this mini-museum of mine. I’m glad that people still appreciate and love him, that we prevent some things from being forgotten, and that it was a better time, he says.
The young memory keeper’s subsequent plan is to make a page on social media so that people from other cities can see his “Yugoslavia in miniature”, but also invite them to see it live.
