Not utterly unknown

Indeed, Milja Marin was quite poorly known in Yugoslavia as compared to her photograph. But still there were people who wrote a couple of lines about her, as at least Dragoje Lukić did (see "References"). Interestingly, he included her photo, but not the one known as Kozarčanka. Skrigin obviously took more than one photo of her at that time, which is not mentioned in any source available to me. The photo used by Lukić is taken from a bit different angle, not so sideways as in Kozarčanka, and there is no "glance over her shoulder", as Vittorelli put it. Why Lukić did not use the famous photo instead, who knows. Vladimir (talk) 15:37, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Date of publication

I miss information on when the photograph was published. The article mentions "[A]fter the war" and a 1968 monograph. Was it published in partisan media during the war? In the immediate after war? --Error (talk) 17:53, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

@Error: In response to your question, I can only cite Vittorelli 2015 (footnote in p. 128): "So far I have not been able to discover if public already before Žorž Skrigin's publication in 1968 knew and was familiar with the image of Kozarčanka." Vladimir (talk) 18:01, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, I thought the omission was due to hurried editing, but I see that it is a real question. --Error (talk) 00:06, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Similar photo in Spanish Civil War

Kozarčanka by Žorž Skrigin. The subject of the photo is Milja Marin.

I didn't know about this picture, I have just seen it linked in the Mainpage Did you know section. In Spain, we know well this other picture Marina Ginestà, iconic photo of Spanish Civil War. The similarity is amazing. emijrp (talk) 21:03, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

@Emijrp: Thanks for including the Marina Ginestà article in "See also". Vladimir (talk) 18:03, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
