Summary/Abstract: Olivera Milosavljević (1951–2015) was a Yugoslav and Serbian historian and a professor at the University of Belgrade. She tackled the question of the Yugoslav breakup while the war was still raging. The Yugoslav breakup switched her focus to nationalism, which she studied for the rest of her life. This paper aims to analyze: 1) Olivera Milosavljević’s depiction of nationalism that was performed by her contemporaries since the late eighties; 2) her view on the continuity of the Serbian nationalist narrative since the beginning of the XX century up until its end.
