Summary/Abstract: The article, “To be a Winner Does Not Essentially Mean to be Righteous”, reflects upon pluri-perspective discussions or, more precisely, “media spins” related to Mustafa Busuladžić and his tragic fate. The issue of Mustafa Busuladžić is not in a focal point here, however, the author is using this case to present various historical events and personae and to place these within a broader historical perspective justifying the unwritten rule that says: “the winners write the history”. In such a historical vision determined by myopia and ideological bipolarity the reality is divided into “good” and “bad”. There is “good” in us and all that we do and what we represent, whereas “evil” is the other with all that it represents. The author here illustrates some real examples as a proof that things should never be viewed in a “black and white” perspective showing how such a perspective hinders the truth, as was the case of Mustafa Busuladžić.
