Summary/Abstract: The article describes how the authorities in Serbia, as part of their attack on the SANU Memorandum, attempted in early 1987 to discredit General Gojko Nikoliš—one of the academicians who defended the Memorandum—by publishing a highly offensive text titled “Vojko and Savle” in Politika. It also explains how that text was later used in the internal showdown within the leadership of the League of Communists of Serbia after the Eighth Session of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Serbia.
