The Suffering of the Tenant Farmer Miloš Radulović from Šutanovina
According to Vuk Karadžić, an estate in Serbia was called a village that, besides the sipahi, had another master known as the čitluksahibija, while the people living on his estate were tenant farmers or (as in Bosnia) serfs, and he was their aga or master. The estate system completely dominated Serbia before the First Serbian Uprising and provoked it. The position and life of an individual tenant farmer is illustrated in detail by the case of the suffering of Miloš Radulović from Šutanovina in the Jošanička captaincy of Filip Pribaković.
