Summary/Abstract: The paper examines recent drastic examples of politicization and mythologization of Bosniak historiography and the entire Bosniak historical narrative: the controversial renaming of streets and schools in Sarajevo, the ‘Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids’, exaggerating the number of war casualties, and the 2019 History Festival. The background of the examples discussed reveals an ideology and policy that seeks to consolidate the national identity of Bosniaks and aspires to establish a unitary and centralized Bosnia-Herzegovina, arousing hostility toward their neighbors, especially the Serbs.
