Abstract
S. Selinić’s monograph examines six years of Serbian history – from the death of the long-time ruler of Yugoslavia J. Broz Tito to the establishment of the new Serbian leader S. Milošević in power. This was a time of numerous crises – in the economy, politics, and in the Serbian autonomous region of Kosovo. New trends in Serbian journalism, fiction and scientific literature were especially pronounced, where a wave of criticism of Tito’s legacy began to rise. The taboo was lifted from previously prohibited topics – Ustashs, Chetniks, Naked Island. Serbian criticism of what previously was seen as the very foundation of society was similar to the perestroika that took place in the USSR in the same years, in particular with the policy of glasnost proclaimed by Gorbachev.
