- Documentary on the large Serbian Community of Chicago. The largest and oldest Serb community in the United States. Documentary is circa 1978.
Dokumentarac o Cikasim Srbima i istoriji njihove imigracije.
What a wonderful way to spend my Serbian Christmas! I am of Serbian descent, born in South Chicago. This documentary brought back so many happy memories. I remember the Popovich Brothers' music filling our home -- the dancing, the food, the laughter and love. I will always be proud of my Serbian heritage. Thank you so much for posting this video. Zivio!
"Marko was an ironworker all his life. But when he was playing his prima (balalaika) you know, he was a whole different person than at any other time, at any other moment that you could know him. He was a person who was inside YOU when he did that, making YOU happy, sort of from the inside out. Not many people get inside you. Very few get past the door for most people."
Fuck blood.
Love and respect to all my Serbian brothers and sisters around the world.
Nothing makes me more proud to be Serbian than the countless times the world powers have tried to eradicate us throughout history. I remember my father always telling me stories when i was a kid: of famous Serbian warriors and heroes. People like Karadjordje, Draza, Milos Obilic, Emperor Dušan the mighty, and more. He would tell me of the lengths that Serbians would go through in order to preserve our precious culture. For example how we fled to the mountains while under Ottoman occupation so that we can preserve our orthodox faith. How when the ottomans storm our houses on Christmas to steal our food, we would make most of our food from pork so that they couldn’t take it since they were Muslims.
We are a proud nation of warriors. 50% of the Serbian male population perished during world war 1. When the rest of the Allies were too worn out to keep fighting, the Serbs kept going and fought until they returned to their homeland.
For those of you who are Serbian, even if you don’t speak or understand it. Know that you have a special blood in you, a blood that is warmer than everyone else’s. A culture that is unlike any other of this planet, that through the blood and sacrifice of our people has been preserved to this very day.

serbian pride!
I love this documentary. It shoes the foundation of my childhood and how lucky I was. Beautiful job Marko!
I was born and raised in Serbia, and that's where I will left my bones! I had the opportunity to travel throughout Europe, and meet lots of different people with different cultural backgrounds, but at the end, there's no country like Serbia, and my fellow Serbs. Yes, we have lots of issues, mostly economical, so it's my duty to learn as much as I can to make this country progress and reach it's fool potential. Greetings to all Serbs from all over the World.
schmucker1989 : Well said

Hey buddy, It really is not my fault that i am ugly to most;) ;) and that many girls,mostly Bosniak girls hurt my feelings by telling me how ugly i am,you know very well what was done to them in the Aggression on Bosnia.......btw(Kosovo Is Not Serbia ) .....✌️ My life is not fair,so,i will not be fair....

This was a beautiful documentary. Brings back so many beautiful memories of Popovich Brothers and Sloboda choir that we enjoyed at our Singing Federation Concerts. Those were the best days!!

Opa! Bring back the memories in spades. Here's to the future of Serbs in America~
I love my people . This is such a great documentary .
This is the documentary "The Popovich Brothers of South Chicago". You can see it on Folkstreams. It was directed by Jill Godmilow.
Lepo a ujedno i tuzno koliko buducih pokolenja ovih ljudi je Srbija izgubila..
I love my people . Best wishes from Phoenix. 2018

Love the music. Had the honor of caring for Adam wife . Loved tge family. Loretta Johnson Goldyn
You can come back chetnik brothers, there're no communists here anymore!
The proper title of this documentary is "The Popovich Brothers of South Chicago". It was not about the community but focused on the brothers influence and careers in the South Chicago communtiy. I wish the title and description would be corrected to a more accurate descritption.
These guys are from Serbian Vojvodina ,area Srem(Syrmia) ,as I am familiar with our Serbian regions.I grew up in Srem(Syrmia)
Peacemaker without war :.... or Krajina
These guys like a great portion of American Serbs are from the Krajina Region especially Lika, Kordun and Banija. Then also Serbs from Hercegovina are also a large portion of the American Serbian community. I myself have Ancestry in Lika and near Trebinje.
The Lone Wolf my family is from Lika, Udbina area, selo Mutilic. Our +Baba Ljubica was from Slavonia. No where near Srem or VOjvodina. We still have family in the Selo.
The names pekovic, krmpovic, Jurasic, Lopac...we used to think we were Croatian but these aren't Croatian names
yes those are pureblooded serb names
+Brandon Kindy my mother's maiden name was Petrovich and NO she is not a Croat.
You can never say for sure.Many surnames are common or similar betweeen the Serbs,Croatians and Bosniaks
@@draganmilenkovic3403 yes but most of croats and boshniaks with those surnames are converted Serbs so...
Are many serbs living in Philadelphia? Or in New York ? I am from europe and i would love to live in USA.
Sry for my bad english
Asandro# I don’t know but Chicago is like Belgrade almost Every American-Serbian lives there, there are even parts of the town where they only speak Serbian
@@gabilol4579 That"s correct.But don"t forget Pittsburg and Milwaukee

Neznam sta bih da vam svima napisem sada , da bi to bilo nesto preveliko . Gledajuci mnoge vodeo priloge pa i ovaj ovde . Znam da se moze mnogo toga uraditi sa malo toga . Dovoljno je da se setimo nekadasnjeg vremena kada su nas nasi preci vodili na slave kod rodjaka u mozda trece selo. Tada smo kao deca upoznavali nase vrsnjake rodjake . I na taj nacin su nasi preci ispunjavali zavete svih predaka nasih, da se rod nikada ne zaboravi. Pokusavao sam u nasoj Srbiji da eto napravim da se ta secanja probude i zauvek budu u nasoj dusi i srcu . No nisam uspevao, jer su ovdasnji nasi kretali nekim drugim cudnim stazama hodeci po mraku uzaludnosti. I eto zelim da bar dao toga sto nosim u sebi da podelim sa svima vama u nadi da cete bar vi moci da razumete ono sto smo bili isto trebamo biti, nebitno gde zivimo. Znajte da su nase Srbske reci svuda , ne kako vama i ovde kod nas u nasoj Srbiji pricaju u jeziku. Jer je jezik nesto sto je podvala stara nekih oko 2500 godina , vec u govoru nasemu. Da, Mi Srbi govorimo a ne jezikamo. O tim nasim korenima saljem vam link prema svojoj pilot radio emisiji Koreni www.dropbox.com/s/yo6ub1scfbaawru/emisija%20koreni.mp3?dl=0 . A reci nase evo nekiloko: podRUM - soba ispod sobe tamo kod vas ze za sobu kaze Room, ova rec se isto i pise i cita na oba govora i nasem i tom izvedenom tamo kod vas od nasega .Rec je grab. Da grab je jedna drvenasta biljka kod ans , ali i imamo alatku koja se zove GRABulja, kojom se nesto prikuplja - grabi. sto objasnjava sledeca nasa rev zGRABiti . Ali ima i porodicnih imena - prezimena GRABic . Ono sto pokusavam pokrenuti nazvah Srbi preko, jer smo mi magde bili uvek preko puta ili jedno naspram drugog. A rec koja se upotrebljava niti je nasa niti ima nekog znacenja Dijaspora nije dobra za nas Srbe jer nas odaljava pa makako mi bili blizu j re to nije nase , to je nam nametnuto iz pomenutog razloga . TAko znajte da bi smo ocuvali nas i sve oko nas onako kako treba biti potrebno je tako malo cuvati reci govora naseg i govoriti ih uvek na svakom mestu . T oje mozda jedini nacin da budemo zajedno pa magde bili tada. Ucite decu vasu govoru nasemu. belezite reci koje su nalik nasim ili imaju isto znacenje , belezite reci starijih vasih i sve to zapisujte jer ce nas to ocuvati i zbliziti. Zdravi mi veseli bili pa magde da ste sada iznajte dok se cuju reci nase i magde se one cuju tu smo svi mi deca majke nase Srbije .
Da si živ i zdrav 100 godina! Kuća ti pevala zbog svake reči! Živeo!

For everyone that wants to know most of the Serbs are gone from Chicago. All the young ones moved on to Indiana are other suburbs. There are only older folks left. There are some young people left but most of them are gone after the Steel Factories closed down. Now there is a large Croatian population in Chicago. That mostly came after the war.
True story. I migrated to Indiana over 20 years ago. We have 2 churches in Merrillville, and I believe there is one out east and not sure if there is still one in Gary. Yes, Indiana is heavily populated with Serbs 😊
This coment is not really true. Lots of Serbs left in Chicago. The Chicago area which included Northwest Indiana is home to thousands of Serbians. Many churches still in Chicago, Joliet, Northwest Indiana and two monasteries in the suburbs.
@@marthateshich8806 my comment was not if there were Serbs left but how many Serbs left. There used to be a population of 50k+ now only a couple thousand remain in Cook County.
Croatians? Where do you see them in Chicagoland area? Could you please tell me what areas?? All the Croatians are older folks too and the younger ones assimilated. I went to a tamburitza concert with Croatian bands this past Saturday at the Slovenian Cultural Center and it was a lot of elderly Croats there. Very small community. There was a large presence of Croatians from the 1920s to about the 70s and 80s. But I may be wrong, some could've came to Chicago in the 90s from the war but most of them moved to NYC. There is a large Bosnian presence in Chicagoland up in the northern suburbs.
The title of this documentary is actually "The Popovich Brothers of South Chicago". It was filmed by Jill Godmilow and released in 1978.

штета што заборавише свој матерњи СРБСКИ језик...…………………..
Much of this music is from Slavonia and Srem as well as some Zagorska and Podravska. and a Catholic Priest at 30.30 But music doesnt have boundaries.
That's not a Catholic priest. That is a Serbian Orthodox Priest (I believe it's the late Rev. Milan Markovina, who was the priest at St. Sava Cathedral in Milwaukee, WI). Married Orthodox priests in that era wore clerical collars just like the Roman Catholic priests.
This not catholic priest!!!! Only orthodox!!!

Tito was Croatian!
I,M SURPRISED THEY DID NOT INVITE RADOVAN KARIDSIC,AND RATKO MLADIC,THE MOST WANTED MEN IN THE WORLD BEFORE OSAMA,WHO KILLED SO MANY MORE THAN THE SUICIDE ASSASSINS IN AFGANISTAN.SOME OF THE LEADERS OF THE MURDER SQUADS WERE MISSING TOO! ARKAN FRANCO SIMOTOVIC ETC ETC.ETC.
Gorn Hegemony You are stupid...
Ask your mama about Karadžić and General Mladić.maybe one of them is your dady..and this documentary is from the 70s.
Gorn, Your comment is quite ignorant. This was in AMERICA, the Chicago area. Stop with the political comments . If you do not like the movie so be it, but do not use it to push ridiculous comments. This video was made in 1975-76. so please
TO NISU SRBI.
Jok, ti si!
Au,svaka cast.
E to je srbin,hahaahhahahahaahah.
U azil ces zavrsis :)
