Old values for new times: Svetislav Stefanovi , once and nowadays

After the fall of communism and the collapse of Yugoslavia, the ” new” Serbian elite made a demarcation towards the former state in all aspects, including its interpretation of the past. This phenomenon is especially present in reevaluations of the fascist ideology of 1930s which is often relativized to the point of unrecognizability by adducing positive facts. A characteristic example discussed in this paper is the defense of Dr Svetislav Stefanovi ’s ideological principles by his contemporary biographers.
