Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author deals with the socio-political and historical circumstances of Montenegro in the period of the nineties of the 20th century in the context of the collapse of the SFR Yugoslavia in the civil war. The author of the paper pays special attention to the reactions of engaged intellectuals and their polemics, and above all, to the role and involvement of the writer Jevrem Brković in anti-war politics and the fight for the independence of Montenegro. The author depicts the political circumstances and the development of society under the influence of various influences from the country and abroad. The overall polemic conducted among the intellectuals was only the other side of the polemic of the politicians, but the politicians marked the polemics of intellectuals as the conversation of "immature" people. That is, especially those opinions that were dissonant in relation to politics were subjected to cynical mockery, which was supposed to indicate who is in power. At that time, intelligence was considered superfluous. However, through the activities of intellectuals, the "Second Montenegro" was created, to which Jevrem Brković made a great contribution with his involvement.
