Hadži-Ruvim (Serbian Cyrillic: Хаџи-Рувим; 19 April 1752 – 29 January 1804) was a Serbian Orthodox archimandrite (superior abbot) of the Bogovađa Monastery who was part of a plot to overthrow the Dahije, renegade Janissaries that had taken control of the Sanjak of Smederevo, that was learnt of; he was thrown in jail and later killed in the event known as Slaughter of the Knezes. Hadži-Ruvim was a wood carver and book collector. He left notes and drawings on empty pages at the monasteries he visited.
Rafailo Nenadović (Рафаило Ненадовић) was born on 19 April [O.S. 8 April] 1752 in the village of Babina Luka, Valjevo nahija, Sanjak of Smederevo (also known in historiography as the "Belgrade Pashalik"). He was the son of Nenad "Neško" (hence surnames Nenadović and Nešković) and Marija "Mara", one of four boys. The eldest son Nikola was the father of revolutionary Petar Nikolajević Moler (1775–1816). His paternal family hailed from the Nikšić tribe (now in Montenegro).
According to Vuk Karadžić, youngster Rafailo had run into problems when he mischiefly disguised himself as a girl to attend a Turkish girl's prelo (weaving-session, traditional woman gathering); as it was haram, Turks condemned him to hanging and went searching for him. He fled his home and hid at the monasteries, where he was schooled, and when his act had been forgotten, he returned home. Other historians maintain that he took to the monasteries due to his thirst for knowledge and 'book-loving'. He learnt Greek.
