Todor Krstić (Serbian Cyrillic: Тодор Крстић; fl. 1904–34), known by the nickname Toša (Тоша) and nom de guerre Algunjski (Алгуњски), was a Serbian Chetnik commander in Old Serbia and Macedonia during the Macedonian Struggle.
Life
Krstić was born in the village of Algunja in the Kosovo Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire (present-day Republic of Macedonia). His village supported and joined the Serbian Chetnik Organization.[1] Algunja was surrounded by Albanian-inhabited villages of Čukarka, Suševo and Mutilovo; Krstić had even before joining the organized Chetnik action, jumped into the region from Vranje, assassinating known zulumćari (persecutors of Christians). He himself became one of the regional vojvoda (duke) and worked closely with vojvoda Petko Ilić. After the Battle of Stratsin against a Bulgarian squad in March 1912, in which Petko Ilić died, Krstić succeeded him as the unit's commander. He fought in the great battle at Šumata Trnica on March 21, 1912, in which eight Serbian rebels were killed,[2] including Svetozar Mihajlović-Purca from Tuzla.[3]
