History: 
In October 1963, in Novi Sad, church of St. George the Illuminator was demolished, popularly called the Armenian Church. For more than two centuries, this temple has witnessed the efforts of its believers and priests to build, maintain, restore and preserve it. Unfortunately, in the decades after World War II, it shared the fate of the Armenians vanished in Novi Sad. Demolition of the Armenian church is a an indelible error in the post-war urban planning of Novi Sad. Part of the old center of the city, whose urban matrix that was established in the early 18th century, has been sacrificed to modern architecture and the new junction. In the clash of old and new, the church was described as "worthless architectural work," whose existence is not necessary. Generations citizens of Novi Sad are so deprived of part of the heritage, unique in its cultural, religious and architectural significance. An extensive archival, documentary and photographic material, which reveals all the circumstances that led to the tragic and unnecessary demolition and the life last years of the existence of the Armenian Church and its small community has survived. Part of the precious legacy of the church is now housed in the Museum of the City of Novi Sad and, after half a century, testifies to the former appearance of the Church of Sv. George the Illuminator.

History: 
The work is part of the exhibition "White Russia" in Museum of Vojvodina, by senior curator Veselinka Markovic and Aleksandar Petijević. October Revolution of 1917 started a civil war in Russia, which has led to deaths and emigration of large numbers of people. After the civil war and the defeat of the White Army units, over two million people left their homeland. It was the largest political emigration in the 20th century. The largest number of Russian refugees arrived in the Kingdom of SHS after leaving the southern region of Russia. Most of the refugees started their exile from major Black Sea ports of Odessa, Novorusijsk, Feodosia, Sevastopol, Kerch. From 1919 to 1923, in five immigration waves over Istanbul, Gallipoli and Salonika in the Kingdom has been about 40,000 Russians. Nearly one-fifth of refugees (about 8,000) has found its refuge in the towns and cities of Backa, Banat, Baranja, and Srem. Among Russian refugees in the Kingdom of Serbs, along the soldiers and officers, a part of the Russian intellectual elite and aristocracy with broad education also arrived. A number of secondary military schools - cadet corps girl's Institutes were evacuated from Russia into the Kingdom of SHS. The first Russian colonies in Vojvodina were established in Zemun and Pancevo, then in Novi Sad, Subotica, Great Beckerek, Sombor, Vršac and Bela Crkva. In 1921 the Russian refugees were deployed in more than 80 villages and towns of Srem, Banat, Backa and Baranja. Rural areas were inhabited by the Cossacks, organized into cells. Within the colonies, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, libraries, and numerous other Russian institutions were established. Of particular importance was the constitution of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad in Sremski Karlovci. Through the activities of the above institutions spiritual connection of refugee Russians with their homeland cherished. A significant number of Russian intellectuals filled a major gap in culture, education, science and economy of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs.

Tailor

A tailor is a person who makes, repairs, or alters clothing professionally, especially suits and men's clothing.

Although the term dates to the thirteenth century, tailor took on its modern sense in the late eighteenth century, and now refers to makers of men's and women's suits, coats, trousers, and similar garments, usually of wool, linen, or silk.

The term refers to a set of specific hand and machine sewing and pressing techniques that are unique to the construction of traditional jackets. Retailers of tailored suits often take their services internationally, traveling to various cities, allowing the client to be measured locally.
