ARSENIJE DZUVEROVIC was born on April 4, 1886 in the small town of Pljevlja (called Teslidze by the Turks) at the time when the area was ruled by the Turkish Empire. The town was a part of Yugoslavia in the 20th century, while since 2006 it belongs to Montenegro. Arsenije was baptized in the church of "Holy Trinity" in his hometown, where he was registered as an ethnic Serb of Eastern Orthodox religion. After finishing high school in Thessaloniki, Greece (also occupied by Turks at that time), he got a scholarship by the tzarist Russia’s Fund for advancement of South Slav peoples, which he used for studies of Medicine at the Imperial University in Moscow. Upon graduation in 1914, he started working at a hospital in the Russian town of Kaluga. It was around that time that a catastrophic outburst of typhoid happened in Serbia within the First World War events..The then ambassador of Russia to Belgrade, Nikolay Henrikovic Hartvig and his successor duke Trubetskoy brought medical assistance from Russia in the form of medical equipment and missions, including a humanitarian medical mission formed by the spouse of the latter, duchess Trubecka who nominated dr Dzuverovic to head this mission. The staff grew quickly to include 10 doctors and 110 nurses with equipment worth about 250.000 American dollars. The tasks rapidly multiplied with political developments during the Great War which led in autumn 2015 to withdrawal of Serbian Army and the population towards the south, over the Albanian mountains to Greece, a tragedy referred to as “Albanian Golgotha”. Dr.Dzuverovic remained at the front with the Serbian Army and was a part of it during the withdrawal along with numerous international medical missions, all working often in impossible conditions as the war was progressing with scarce equipment, medical supplies, lack of clothing and food. In such an atmosphere, he met his future wife Yelisaveta (Jelisaveta Dzuverovic) a volunteer nurse from the Serbian town of Kragujevac with whom he went back to Russia after the end of the First World War. They had two children, son Nikola (Nikola Dzuverovic-Akademac), born in Kaluga during the October revolution in 1917, and daughter Olya (Olga Dzuverovic) born in Serbia several years later upon their definitive return. Dr Dzuverovic died in 1933 in the Serbian town of Prokuplje. His war-related efforts and accomplishments were formally recognized by both Serbian and Russian army commands.
