Draža and Ratko from the Marvel Multiverse
Of course, everything in Serbia has long gone to the dogs, so it's not so strange that emotions towards all sorts of scorpions have not been hidden for decades. This country cannot break free from the embrace of the evil spirits of the past, so we almost have laments from Serbian officials shedding tears for the convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić, whom they supposedly want to bring to this town to be treated or to die in freedom.
TL;DR
- Serbian officials are showing public sympathy for convicted war criminals Ratko Mladić and Draža Mihailović.
- The author criticizes this as a glorification of individuals responsible for war crimes, including massacres and ethnic cleansing.
- This revisionist trend is seen as a political strategy to obscure historical truths and legitimize the current corrupt system.
- The rehabilitation of these figures is linked to the restoration of a predatory capitalist order that has damaged Serbia.
- The author argues that whitewashing past atrocities makes it easier to justify present-day violence, repression, and crime.
- The article contrasts the historical facts of war crimes with a manufactured 'patriotic fairytale' that downplays suffering.
