42. In his wartime memoirs, Djilas describes the following religious experience,
which occurred to him in a life-threatening situation in the midst of the
battle of Sutjeska in June 1943: “As I fell fast asleep ...suddenly in my mind
Christ appeared; the one from the frescoes and icons, with a silk beard and a
look of pity. ...Ibegantospeak to him: If you came into the world and suffered
for goodness and truth, you must see that our cause is just and noble. We are,
in fact, carrying on what you began. And you have not forgotten us, nor can
you abandon us. You live and endure in us. As I was saying this, I knew that I
was not ceasing to be a communist ...itneverevencrossed my mind that this
was a miracle or that miracles occur, though the apparition inspired calm and
courage.” Wartime, p. 285.
