Biography

Ristić was educated in Belgrade and Switzerland before graduating in Philosophy from the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade.[1] Dušan Matić, a fellow Serbian poet attracted to surrealism sent him surrealist publications from Paris.[2] He subsequently started corresponding with André Breton in 1923, following the publication Breton's first Surrealist Manifesto in Svedočanstva (Testimonies).[3] He visited Paris in 1926-1927 where he spent time with Breton and the Surrealist Circle and to see the surrealist works In Breton's flat.[4]

In 1939, Ristić was denounced by Tito as "intimate friend of the Paris Trotskyist and bourgeois degenerate person Breton" and for his goal of wanting to "enrich and complement" marxism and surrealism.[5]

gollark: I think a more plausible explanation is along the lines that there's a lot of indirection - people don't *directly* pay the full very large price - and, due to other things (devaluing of the degrees, making *not* having one a stronger signal of problematicness somehow, and bizarre "prestige" factors), many people can't really just go "hmm, no, I don't want to pay that much" so they go up.
gollark: It says something like 40% don't actually bill students, too...
gollark: It says they cost a lot, *not* the actual fraction of budgets these things cost.
