All of us here — and I mean in all countries emerged from the dissolution of Yugoslavia — have witnessed that history flows parallel to our everyday lives.
“The Atlas of Pseudomythology” comes as a book the aim of which is to illustrate how Serbian national myths are created and their purpose.
Following each epoch, Serbian elites go to war against these periods, despite having created and chosen them themselves for the most part.
