Summary/Abstract: Anti-fascism is not and cannot be a predomi¬nant value in the societies of nationalistic ide¬ology as their main pillar of legitimacy. In Ser¬bia, for as long as a quarter of a century, ever since destruction of second Yugoslavia that was based on consensual anti-fascism, anti-fascist legacy has been marginalized and banalized. More than twenty generations have been raised in the society in which anti-fascist values have not been predominant but replaced by the ideas characteristic of nationalism, xenophobia, neo-fascism and rehabilitation of WWII quislings, the ideas that had inspired violence, war, crimes, plunder, and annihilated social solidarity and human empathy.
