Nina Vasiljević (Serbian Cyrillic: Нина Васиљевић; 1770-1832) was a Serbian revolutionary who fought during the First Serbian Uprising with the famed two voivodes Hajduk Veljko and Anta Bogićević along with his brother Petko Vasiljević.
Nina Vasiljević[1]was much older than Petko, [2]though in courage and strength he could not measure up to his younger brother and for that reason, Hajduk Veljko named Petko a bimbashi and Nina -- knyaz.
Nina is mentioned in many epic folk songs about Karađorđe as mayor (knyas) and major (bimbashi) when he took over his dead brother's post. Nina also held the title of voivode and saved many villages in Selačka area (then known as Timok district) in skirmishes against the Ottomans that raged around Suvodol monastery between Turkish bands and Serbs.[3]
In 1813 Nina left Turkish-occupied Belgrade for Russia to live in Hotin (now Ukraine, then Russia), where other leaders of the Insurrection like Cincar-Janko settled.
After Serbia got its autonomy from Sultan Mahmud I, Prince Miloš Obrenović allowed the exiled voivodes to return. Nina Vasiljević returned in 1830 along with Cincar-Janko and others. Nina settled in a village called Dublje near Svileuva where he died in 1832. He was buried on the grounds of a nearby church.[1]
