Aleksa Šantić

Aleksa Šantić anchors two separate narratives in this research: How Baba Pusta Got Its Name; The Silver Coin and the Alleged Baba Pusta Curse. The point marks the settlement, not an invented exact scene.

Historical and alternative names used in searches: Šara; Sári; Hadikkisfalu; Babapuszta. Serbian, Hungarian, German, Croatian and Russian queries were compared, keeping documents, oral traditions and modern retellings separate.

Today Aleksa Šantić serves as an honest geographic anchor when a source gives no street, house or microtoponym.

Use public roads and spaces. A settlement-centre marker is not permission to enter private property, unsafe ruins or closed religious buildings.
