Stanislav "Stanko" Sočivica{{Cref2|a}} ({{circa}} 1715 – {{floruit}} 1777) was a hajduk (brigand) active in the Ottoman territories in western Balkans (sanjaks of Herzegovina, Bosnia and Montenegro). Born in a village close to Bileća, his family owned a farm subject to a harsh Ottoman bey family. After murdering the beys and taking their collected taxes, the family subsequently relocated to Venetian Dalmatia from where Sočivica and his brothers began their brigandage. After decades of brigandage, and the capture of his wive and children, he retired to the Habsburg Monarchy, where he was appointed commander of the Pandurs by Emperor Joseph II himself, in 1775.

Life

Origin and early life

Sočivica was born in {{circa}} 1715{{sfn|Savez udruženja folklorista Jugoslavije|1970|p=166}}{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=14}} in the village of Simijova northwest of Bileća{{sfn|Savez udruženja folklorista Jugoslavije|1970|p=166}} in the Sanjak of Herzegovina (Ottoman Empire). Ivan Lovrić ({{floruit}} 1756–77) wrote the biography of Sočivica,{{sfn|Savez udruženja folklorista Jugoslavije|1970|p=166}} while his life story was mentioned by Alberto Fortis (1741–1803), based on Sočivica's own narrative.[1] He was of normal stature, had a long face, and blue eyes.[2] His father, Vuk, was a farmer, whose land was owned by an infamous family of rich Turks, the Umetalčić, who were very harsh towards the family: they not only constantly insulted them, but also beat them severely.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=14}}{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}} Stanko, a turbulent and ferocious person, plotted with his three brothers against their masters, but their father who was mild and pacific advised them not to act, for several years.{{sfn|Watson|1804|pp=14–15}}{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}} Two of his brothers were named Ilija and Nikola.

The three Umetalčić brothers, having headed from Poplat (Berkovići) to nearby Vranjska to collect haraç (tax), had by chance decided to lodge at the Sočivica farm, carrying with them a purse of 18,000 sequins that they had collected on the way.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}} Stanko convinced his two brothers that this was a chance for vengeance, and enrichment, and persuaded them to murder the three guests.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}} They then had them buried in a deep ditch by the farm.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=15}}

After the murders, the family did not flee; in retaliation, the Pasha of Trebinje and the captain of the guards arrested up to 50 Christians, some of whom were executed, the other made slaves, but no suspicion fell on the brothers.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=15}} In about a year, however, there were some doubts; Stanko's rashness, and the sum of money they suddenly had, forced them to leave their home and decamp.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}} Their father died on the way.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}}

Imotski

The family arrived in Imotski, which at the time was under the sovereignty of the Republic of Venice (Venetian Dalmatia), and built a house and opened up a shop with excellent and expensive merchandise, with the Ottoman money, in 1745.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}} The merchant life did not suit Stanko's activeness, thus, he and an entourage of 10 men turned to Montenegro, where they by the course of the summer massacred 40 Turks.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}} It is thought that he never committed an offence against subjects of Venice or Austria, but entirely directed his fury against the Turkish people.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}}

After several expeditions, joined by one of his brothers, he returned to Imotski where he resided for 9 years, working in the trade established by his family.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}} He made excursions from time to time, and assassinated Turks.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}} One of his brothers was in the band together with distinguished hajduk Lazar Pecirep.[3] Stanislav Sočivica and Lazar Pecirep were the most distinguished hajduks of their time.{{sfn|Mihić|1975|p=200}}

Murder of his brother

Sočivica's brother, who had accompanied him on his expeditions, joined the most furious hajduks (brigands) in the country, and became a blood brother (pobratime) with an Orthodox Morlach, who, in spite of the brotherhood, got him drunk and delivered him to the Pasha of Travnik where he was tortured to death.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=351}} After hearing of his brother's death, Sočivica immediately went to the house of the blood brother, where he was received by his father.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} The father told a story in a manner posing his son as entirely innocent, and when the blood brother appeared he displayed great kindness, then went out under the pretence of seeking the finest lamb in his flock to treat Sočivica; his real intention was to deliver him to the Turks stationed in Duvno, 19 km from the house.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} As the blood brother had not yet returned, the house retired to rest, all except Stanko.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} He was tormented with bad feelings, and rose from his bed in search for a light, but could find none throughout the house.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} Suspicion and rage arose, and he sought his arms, but could not find them, and he called loudly, but to no answers.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} He went to the bedside of the father, demanding his arms.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} The father, who expected his son returning with Turks, sought to gain time by equivocating, Sočivica then rashly crushed his head with a small axe, then went to an old female servant, who complied with him.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} As soon as he regained his arms, he left the house and lurked at a distance, to watch the event and ascertain the blood brother's treachery, of which he soon gained proof of.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} Sočivica then assembled a few friends, surrounded and set the house on fire.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} 17 people died in the flames, and a woman who attempted to escape was shot together with her infant in her arms.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} From this time on, the Ottomans pursued Stanko with maximum rancour, and Sočivica in the meantime multiplied his murders and robberies.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}}

In August 1754, the same year when he had burnt the house, he narrowly escaped the pursuit of a party of Croats, who were out in search of him, and concluding that he was no longer safe in Venetian territory, he sent for his family to join him in Karlowitz (Sremski Karlovci), to which he travelled to by foot.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=18}}

Karlovci

As he was pursued on every side, he retired with his family to Sremski Karlovci, in the Military Frontier of Habsburg Austria (modern Serbia).{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} He lived an innocent life there for 3 years, together with his two brothers, wife, son and daughter.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}}

An undisclosed person betrayed him into the hands of the same Pasha that killed his brother, and his wife and children were later captured in the same manner.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} The three Sočivica brothers were imprisoned at a fort beyond Udbina, at the Ottoman–Venetian–Austrian frontier, and then escorted by 100 cavalrymen before the Pasha of Travnik, to be relocated to the prison in Travnik.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=18}} They were given two choices, conversion into Islam, or impalement, accepting the former.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=18}} His two brothers were released, and one of them was bestowed the title of aga, while Stanislav, known for his public antagonism towards the Ottomans, remained imprisoned.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=18}} His two brothers took the first opportunity to flee the Ottomans, upon which the enraged Pasha annulled the conversion of Stanislav, who had been given the name Ibrahim, and ordered for a more strained imprisonment with constant overwatch.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=18}} His new strategy was to tell the guards of buried treasures, and that he would show the Pasha the locations in return of privileges that he had before his brothers' escape.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=19}} For a month, Sočivica took the guards to different locations where he had either kept a sum of money, or places where he claimed he had mistaken.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=19}} On 26 November 1758 Sočivica and his family, which had been lured to meet up with Sočivica as a free man, were brought before the Effendi{{who|date=March 2016}}.{{sfn|Watson|1804|p=19}} He later managed to escape during the journey.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} As his family members were still prisoners, he negotiated for their release with the Pasha, but in vain.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=352}} As all methods failed, he resorted to write to the Pasha:

{{cquote|I am informed, O pasha of Bosnia, that you complain of my escape; but I put it to yourself, what would you have done in my place? Would you have suffered yourself to be bound with cord like a miserable beast, and led without resistance by men, who, as soon as they arrived at a certain place, would in all probability, have put you to death? Nature impels us to avoid destruction, and I have only acted in obedience to her laws.Tell me, pacha, what crime have my wife and children committed, that, in spite of law and justice, you should retain them like slaves? Perhaps you hope to render me more submissive; but you cannot surely expect that I shall return to you, and hold forth my arms to be loaded with fresh chains. No; you do but deceive yourself, and render me more terrible than before. Hear me then, pacha: you may exhaust on them all your fury, without producing the least advantage. On my part I declare, I will wreak my vengeance on all the Turks, your subjects, who may fall into my hands; and I will omit no means of injuring you. - For the love of God, restore to me, I beseech you, my blood. Obtain my pardon from my sovereign, and no longer retain in your memory my past offences. I promise that I will then leave your subjects in tranquillity, and even serve them as a guide when necessary.

If you refuse me this favour, expect from me all that despair can prompt. I will assemble my friends, carry destruction wherever you reside, pillage your property, plunder your merchants; and from this moment, if you pay no attention to my entreaties, I swear that I will massacre every Turk that falls into my hands.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|pp=352–353}} }}

The Pasha did not give much attention to the letter, and Stanko exerted himself in accomplishing the vow he made.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}} He devastated the country, showing proof of his heroism; so much that the people were forced to request the pasha for help from the devastation, by sending back his wife and children.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}} The Pasha, however, was unrelentless, and Stanko could only free his family with force and strategy.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}}

Late years

Sočivica's men captured a Turk who had earlier helped one of his brothers to escape, and the brother, in opposition to the chief and the rest of the band, was anxious to return the favour.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}} Although the Turk was destined to die, the grateful brother, while Stanko was at prayers, set him free.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}} The other hajduks were outraged, and one of his nephews even punched him; the brother then drew a gun and killed him on the spot.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}} Sočivica expelled his brother, and after the funeral of his nephew, felt such a humiliation that he decided to retire.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}}

However, his habits were not so easily changed. After a short retirement he suddenly resumed the banditry, plundering on the highway.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}} After his many massacres and robberies, he only had a possession of 600 sequins, which he confided to a friend and a cousin, however, both ran off with the money.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}}

Later, in 1775, Emperor Joseph II, while passing by Grazach, where Sočivica resided, wished to see him.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}} Joseph II brought him and interrogated him, and made him repeat the main events of his life, then gave him a considerable sum of money and appointed him the harambaša of the Pandurs.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}} He lived at Grazach in 1777, at the time when his biography was first written.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}} In 1800, it was not known whether he was dead.{{sfn|E. Bronson et al.|1809|p=353}}

Family

Stanko managed to have his wife and son released from captivity in Ottoman Travnik, and had them brought to the Serbian Orthodox Dragović monastery, in Venetian territory, where a monk learnt his son how to read and write.{{sfn|Samardžić|1986|p=61}}{{Better source|reason=Unreliable source|date=March 2016}}

Legacy

His life was the subject of a book by Dalmatian writer Ivan Lovrić (1776).[4] He was known in Morlach folk poetry.[5] He was also mentioned in Petar II Petrović-Njegoš The Mountain Wreath, a masterpiece of Montenegrin literature.
