Milorad Pavlović — Krpa (Belgrade, 4 October 1865 — Belgrade, 29 January 1957) was a Serbian writer, publicist, translator, and editor and publisher of Glasnik za zabavu i nauku (Entertainment and Science Herald).
Biography While studying abroad, in the German Empire, his interest in the work of Anton Chekhov and Afanasy Fet led him to study the Russian language and try his hand in translating. He eventually translated several of Chekhov's short stories and novellas, entitled Čehovljeve pripovetke and Ruski ljudi (both published in 1890) and Fet's poetry. He also authored several books, including a memoir that appeared in 1963 in Belgrade's newspaper Politika entitled "A Witness to an Era."
