Nije lako biti u ulozi ubice i zločinca. Mirnog spavanja tu nema. Ni oni koji su bili očevici, ma koliko nevini i potpuno isključeni iz učešća u ratnim strahotama, ne mogu spavati mirno. Gledajući pobedničku karikaturu sve nam se čini da izvršiocima ratnih stradanja nije baš lako da nose odoru ubice, rušitelja i zločinca i da bi se rado preobukli u mirotvorca, ako bi to moglo proturanjem glave na foto-panou „goluba mira“. E, sad, ova priča ima i svoju drugu stranu. Autor prvonagrađene karikature, Mileta Miloradović, insistira na činjenici da mnogi učesnici ratova nisu u njima svojom voljom. Da su prinudom uvučeni u vrtlog rata i žele pred javnošću da pokažu to, vezujući svoj lik za mirotvornog nevinog belog goluba sa maslinovom grančicom u kljunu. I ovo čitanje navedene karikature, zapravo inspiracija autora, je ne samo legitimno već izvorno. Ali svejedno kako je čitali, možemo reći da ova karikatura ne samo da podseća na „vijetnamski sinIspiranje savesti The Cleansing of Conscience It is not easy to play the role of a murderer and a criminal. There is no peaceful sleep. Even the eyewitnesses, no matter how innocent and excluded from participation in the horrors of war, even they cannot sleep peacefully. Looking at the winning cartoon, it transpires it is not very easy for the war crimes perpetrators to wear the uniform of a murderer, destroyer and criminal. They would be happy, it seems, to change it for peacemaker attire if only it were as simple as sticking their head through the “Dove of Peace” photo board. Now, there is another side to this story. The author of the first prize-winning cartoon, Mileta Miloradović, insists that many war participants are not there of their own accord. They are being forced into the maelstrom of war, and they are expressing that by tying their image to a peace-making, innocent white dove with an olive branch in its beak. This interpretation of the cartoon is based on the author’s own inspiration and, therefore, as coming from the Knjizni blok salon 2023.indd 6 10/9/2023 10:52:45 AM
drom“ svih ratnika, već upozorava da nema inspiratora, finansijera i učesnika ratnih sukoba koji se neće jedne noći sresti sa sopstvenom savešću, makar uveren da je savest višak ljudske psihe. Da izvršenje zločina nije običan „posao“ svedoči i povod ovog Salona i ukupnih kragujevačkih oktobarskih svečanosti sećanja i opomene – streljanje u Šumaricama 21. oktobra 1941. godine. Čak ni za vojsku strogu i disciplinovanu, osvajački nadahnutu i podsticanu na osvetu, kakva je bila nemačka armija u Srbiji u Drugom svetskom ratu. U izveštaju jednog poručnika se navodi: „... Ovo streljanje u početku nije ostavljalo neki naročiti utisak na moje vojnike, ali se već drugog dana primetilo da neki od njih, pri vršenju streljanja na duže vreme, gube živce...“ Prema izveštaju komandanta majora Keniga o odmoru na planini Avala pripadnika dva bataljona koji su vršili streljanje u Kragujevcu, sedam vojnika i oficira je izvršilo samoubistvo, 37 je dobilo nervni slom a 72 su morala biti poslata na oporavak u Nemačku. Mnogi autori ovogodišnjeg Salona su inspiraciju za svoje radove potražili upravo u ovakvom ishodištu svakog rata, posebno zločinačkog, u nastojanju ispiranja savesti gospodara rata. Sve u nadi da čovečnost može pobediti, da svet ne mora otići u ambis samouništenja. Tu nadu može potkrepiti i okolnost da je žiri, gledajući samo radove i ne znajući ime i poreklo autora, nagradio karikature umetnika i iz Ukrajine i iz Rusije. Ima li u tome i prsta neke više, sudbinske pravde? Tako dobitnik Zlatne plakete Mihai Bobok, rumunski karikaturista, slika komandanta koji će u pokušaju spasenja, potčinjene naterati da i tenk prenesu preko cvenog polja, ne zgazivši ni jedan cvet. A Valeri Tarasenko će naći neku oficirčinu koja će umesto oštrog izbrušenog mača iz korica izvući maslinovu grančicu i pridružiti se golubu sa njom u kljunu. Neki se, pak, znoje na ispovedi, sa nadom da svoju nečistu savest mogu isprati i znoj straha i potok suza pred njom preneti na ispovednika. source, is legitimate. However, regardless of which interpretation we go for, we can say that this cartoon not only evokes the “Vietnam syndrome “but also warns that no initiator, funder or participant in a war can avoid facing their own conscience one day, even if convinced that conscience is a redundant element in the human psyche. That the execution of a crime is not an ordinary “job “is evident in the origins of this Salon and all the events of the Kragujevac October program that are there as a way to remember and to warn us – it is evident in the dreadful execution in Šumarice on October 21, 1941. It is not an ordinary “job” even for a strict and disciplined army inspired by the hope of conquest and encouraged to take revenge, as the German army was in Serbia during the Second World War. The report of a German army lieutenant states, “... This shooting initially did not leave any particular impression on my soldiers, but already on the second day, it was noticed that some of them became unnerved when shooting for a more extended period of time... “ According to commander Major Koenig’s report about the two battalions that participated in the executions in Kragujevac, while on a break on Mount Avala, seven soldiers and officers committed suicide, 37 had a nervous breakdown, and 72 had to be sent to Germany for recovery. It is precisely in the aftermath of all the wars that many authors of this year’s Salon found their inspiration in an effort to cleanse the conscience of the warlords. All in the hope that humanity can win and that the world does not have to go into the abyss of self-destruction. This hope can be supported by the fact that during anonymous selection, the jury awarded cartoons by artists both from Ukraine and Russia. Is there a fateful justice caught up in this? The winner of the Golden Plaque, Mihai Boboc, Knjizni blok salon 2023.indd 7 10/9/2023 10:52:45 AM
Nije lako ostati mirotvorac u današnjem svetu u kome mediji ispiraju mozak čovečanstva, ubeđujući nas da ne verujemo svojim očima i svojoj svakodnevnoj hudoj sudbini, već porukama militarista, koji nastoje da nas uvere da se mir može postići uvećanjem količine i povećanjem ubojitosti oružja na bojištu, umesto sedanjem za sto i pregovorima i dijalogom. Svaki dodatno ispaljeni metak predstavlja smrt jednog čoveka, poručuje svojim radom Roman Pešov. Čak ni lulu mira neće prihvatiti pokretači i oni koji rat podgrevaju, licemerno se pozivajući na političku korektnost i znak zabrane pušenja u mogućoj prostoriji dogovora i okončanja sukoba, ukazuje Stanila Liviju na matrici kauboja i indijanca. Ubojitost pogrešnih reči postaje pogubnija od samog oružja. I sam hleb za milione gladnih postaje talac rata i nespremnosti da se zaustavi krvoproliće. Karikaturisti na radovima priloženim Salonu svedoče tamnu stranu današnjeg sveta, ali ne pristaju na nju, već joj sude oštricom svoga pera i neusahle imaginacije. Radovi odabrani za izlaganje i objavljivanje u katalogu Salona, posebno nagrađeni radovi, pokazuju inspirativnu raznovrsnost izraza u osudi rata i upozorenja na njegovu pogubnost po ljude i čitavu planetu. Ratni sukob sukob Rusije i Ukrajine, ali i niz drigih otvorenih ili tinjajućih ratova traže još snažniji antiratni glas u svim delovima svetske zajednice radi obuzdavanja i zaustavljanja krvoprolića, stradanja i rušenja onoga što su generacije stvarale. Izgleda da je tematski moto ovogodišnjeg Salona pozivanje na savest i upozoravanje na lažno ispiranje savesti najodgovornijih za stradanje ovog sveta. Možda će ove poruke dotaći i nekog „izvođača ratnih radova“, ali će svakako okupiti oko ideje mira nove ljude koji žele da žive u mirnom i spokojnom svetu. To je upravo misija ovog Salona, koja istrajno okuplja i dalje stotine umetnika karikature sa svih meridijana sa nestišanom antiratnom porukom, hiljade posetilaca koji sa nadom i podrškom iščitavaju te poruke na desetinama njenih izložbi širom sveta, i onih naših šest a Romanian caricaturist, presented us with a commander who, in search of redemption, forced his subordinates to carry a tank across a flower field, making sure they don’t step on a single flower. And Valery Tarasenko pictured an officer who, instead of a sharp sword, pulls out an olive branch and joins the dove with the olive branch in its beak. Elsewhere in the cartoons, soldiers sweat during confession, with the hope that they can cleanse their conscience and pass the flood of terror and tears onto the confessor. It is not easy to remain a peacemaker in today’s world, where the media attempts to brainwash us into not believing our eyes and our fate but rather the messages of militarists. Convincing us that peace can be achieved by increasing the quantity and lethality of weapons on the battlefield rather than through dialogue and negotiations. The caricaturist Roman Peshkov sends a clear message through his work that each additional shot fired from a weapon is another person’s death. Stanila Liviu points out, through depicting a cowboy and a Native American, that war initiators and warmongers won’t even accept the pipe of peace, hypocritically hiding behind political correctness and a no-smoking sign in a room where it’s possible to reach an agreement and end the conflict. The lethality of wrong words becomes more deadly than the weapon itself. For millions of hungry people, even bread becomes a hostage of war and a reflection of our incapability to stop the bloodshed. The caricaturists in the works submitted to the Salon witness the dark side of today’s world, but they do not agree with it. They judge it with the sharp edge of their pen and their never-ending imagination. The artworks selected for exhibition and publication in the Salon’s catalogue, especially the awarded ones, show an inspiring variety of expressions in the war condemnation and warnings of its destructiveness for people and the entire planet.

gradova prijatelja, koji dodeljujući nagrade sa svojim imenima pridružuju svoj glas u korist mira. Hvala svima na toj istrajnosti! A naše je zajedničko pravo da sanjamo lepši svet i činimo sve da do njega dođe! Miodrag Stojilović, predsednik Saveta Salona other raging or smouldering wars, demand an even stronger anti-war voice in all parts of the world in order to contain and stop the bloodshed, suffering and destruction of what generations have created. It seems that the motto of this year’s Salon is to appeal to the conscience and warn against the fake conscience cleansing of those most responsible for the suffering of this world. Perhaps these messages might reach some of the “war contractors “, but they will certainly gather more of those who desire a calm and peaceful world around the idea of peace. And that is precisely the mission of this Salon: gathering hundreds of artists from all over the world, artists with an ever louder anti-war message; gathering thousands of visitors who receive, with hope and conviction, that message at dozens of exhibitions around the world; supported by our six twin-cities, awarding prizes, and joining their voice in favour of peace. Thank you all for that persistence! And it is our shared right to dream of a more beautiful world and do everything to make it happen! Miodrag Stojilović, Chairman of the Council of the Salon.
