Summary/Abstract: In the text the author consider politics of interpretation of South-Slavic peoples' recent past, which was demonstrated by the most prominent activists of Serbian non-governmental organizations. By summarising the interpretation in a few points, the author attempts to identify its key features: arrogance and extremism as a style, counterfactuality as a strategy and anti-Serbian nationalism and racism as an ideological strongpoint. In the final section of the text, what is pleaded is a precize legal regulation of that delicate area of civil activism, which in the last decade has presented a malignant proturbance on destroyed social tissue of Serbia and serious threat to the rest of its considerably lost national interests.
