Istorijski revizionizam kao osnova nacionalističke ideologije

In the last three decades, we have seen a relativization and banalization of the anti-fascist heritage in Serbia. It started after the fall of the second Yugoslavia, which was founded on an anti-fascist value consensus. From the end of the 1980s, systemic and planned elimination of anti-fascist, partisan heritage started in Serbia, while at the same time we can see a rise of nationalism, together with the falsification of history and rehabilitation of the Chetinik collaborationist movement. Milošević’s Serbia was preparing for aggressive conflicts, and there was no room for supranational, anti-fascist, left-wing tradition of the National Liberation Movement, which was based on the principle of true national equality and self-determination of a nation. This is why the issue of anti-fascism is not only connected to the relation towards WWII in Yugoslavia, but also to the relation toward the wars during the 1990s
