Summary/Abstract: The self-criticism of the revolution and the demystification of the myth of force and power began with a title whose rhetoric reveals an ironic note in a sense that is opposed to the connotation of the adjective decisive. Bojo Šančević is a determined man, he is quick in making and executing decisions, but his efficiency is contained in murders, tortures and inhumane actions not only against the enemies of the system, but also against those to whom he is bound by old letters. A villain without a moral code, an alcoholic, mentally and physically ill, incapable of forgiveness, an undeserved hero and a coward - becomes a symbol of the whole ideology which did not allow man the right to his own opinion and gave him the only possibility - to be a screw in the system.
