As far as I know the Chetniks first rose up against the fascist occupation of yugoslavia, they were guerrilla fighters against nazis. But later they sometimes collaborated on occassion with the fascists. I think they lost support of the allies. Someone knows something or can tell the american perspective?
Nowadays it just stands in for serbian nationalism and traditionalism as oppossed to leftism or communism.
What an unpleasant music and the manner of singing. I would have thought it was Turkish.
It is in style of Kolo. Kolo is serbian. But for westerners it might appear as turkish though.
I am not a Westerner. From your part where you live I am an Easterner actually.
And what is the difference between Chetniks and, for example, Haidamakas?
BTW, funny song. "I'm a dill, you are a dill, Ukraine is a land of dills" (Sorry for my Australian slang).
It is a somewhat strange question, considering that these people acted in different centuries and I believe they had different main goals. But of course it is possible to find common features.
What is your point?
Haidamakas, Andarts, Cossaks, Chetniks, Banderlogs, "Cyborgs", and many, many others were/are mere battlebums and irregular Turkish-influenced Slavic and Greek militants, almost useless against regular forces, but quite effective against unarmed civilians (Turkish, Jewish, Polish, Lithuanian, etc..) and other proxies. Some kind of Christian ISIS.
