Partizan

Partizan is the Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian, Russian, Bulgarian, Polish and Slovene term for a partisan. It is usually used in those languages to denote a member of the World War II resistance movement, the Yugoslav Partisans, which are always mentioned in those languages without the adjective "Yugoslav", i.e. simply as "Partisans" or "Partizani" (plural of "Partizan").

Famous quotes containing the word partizan:

    “A Tory..., since the revolution, may be defined in a few words, to be a lover of monarchy, though without abandoning liberty; and a partizan of the family of Stuart. As a Whig may be defined to be a lover of liberty though without renouncing monarchy; and a friend to the settlement in the protestant line.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
