Ivan Lukačević (soldier)

Ivan Lukačević (Serbian: Иван Лукачевић, Russian: Иван Лукачевич; fl. 1711–12), known as Podgoričanin (Подгоричанин), was a Russian Imperial captain of Serb origin from Podgorica (now in Montenegro) that participated in planning of a Balkan Orthodox uprising with Russian aid against the Ottoman Empire. He was sent with Russian colonel of Serb origin, Mikhail Miloradovich (presumably the grandfather of Mikhail Miloradovich),[1] to deliver documents issued by emperor Peter the Great (and written by diplomat Sava Vladislavich, another Serb in Russian service) on 3 March 1711[2] that called the Balkan Orthodox to rise up against the Ottomans during the Pruth River Campaign.[3] Miloradović and Lukačević arrived at Cetinje and delivered them to metropolitan Danilo, who had them read at a Montenegrin church assembly. This was the first Russian delegation to Montenegro.[4] Danilo, Miloradović and Lukačević then organized military operations (such as the attack on Nikšić).[5] In September 1712, Lukačević left Montenegro and headed for Russia.[6] However, he was left in Berlin.[6]
