Official Belgrade and Belgradian
cultural and ecclesiastical “elites”
are not only “unfriendly”[1]
but are your enemies!
It is now over 100 years since the Belgradian false crème de la crème, after hijacking the public sphere, embraced ethical fading and moral disengagement so feverishly that its infection has slowly seeped into the psyche of every member of our people dependent on this ruling caste. It also has saturated the state, and the Church, both concentrated in that capital of abomination of desolation, poisoning our communal structures, rendering every national agency toxic and debilitating for our survival.
So far it has only been lethal to the Serbs and (partially) to other Yugoslavs, but its pestilential corruption has grazed Russia and may be as detrimental to her as a similar communion was a century ago.
Moscow would be totally justified in asking Belgrade: “Friend, for what have you come?”[2]
And not only because soon, in spite of multiple treacheries, Belgrade shall come shamelessly to demand Russian gas at the cheapest price possible, but the Harlot of the Balkans will perform the infamous Seven Veils Dance in the attempt to seduce Russia once again into a “partnership” which will only ensure the perpetuation of the current NATO/EU/US-loving partocratic kleptocracy power structures in Belgrade.
In any natural language – which the Belgradian “elites” prefer to use when they must either beg or threaten – the word “Brother” is one of the most powerful. They love to use it in their relation to Russia – either when begging Moscow for some aid, to keep them secure in their privileges, or, for the same end result, when threatening the West with the “Loving Russia” act, when it pushes them too far against the true interest of the scorned and captive Serbian people they claim to lead and represent.
Yet – they forget that for such usage of the word “Brother” one is obliged to fulfill both the Necessary and the Sufficient requirements and to bring the value of such a statement to the reality of the state of affairs on the ground and to the conditions of the relationship between the alleged Brothers.
Thus, being of the so-called Slavic race and Orthodox is a Necessary Condition for being a brother to the Russian nation but it is not enough to be a brother to the ethnically and religiously diverse citizens of the Russian Federation.
It is even harder with the Sufficient Condition, which requires not only brotherly cooperation in mutual defense but even more the sacrificial (Christian, Orthodox) action by a true brother so that the other brother may prosper, or, in the case of today’s Russia, survive.
Today’s Belgradian “elites”, just like their antecedents during the at least last hundred years, fail to satisfy either of the conditions. They mostly do not feel Slavic (especially not Serbian!), and are deeply and irreparably ashamed of such associations, yearning to be Anglo-Saxon, or at least French, or even Italian, so that they may better fit into the fictional “Europe”.
The other, much smaller, group are the self-proclaimed “patriots”, “traditionalists”, and “the truly faithful”, who praise heroism on the battlefield but possess courage only when attacking roasted meat at banquets dedicated to the defense of, for example, Kosovo, and are verbally offensive only when assuring others of their masculinity by fictionally battling the so-called “Pride” parades.
It is even worse when it comes to any sacrifices, notably of (in their view) the shameful religious kind, not only for Russia but even less for their own Serbian people and their national interests! It is certain that they have sacrificed (particularly in the satanic sense) plenty of Serbs, the unwashed and vulgar masses of “anti-EU/NATO nationalists”, and that they shall sacrifice them all for their diabolical EU/NATO membership delusions – which they claim as their human and civil rights.
In this, the State and the Church of the Serbs have achieved that ancient Orthodox ideal of Symphony – tragically in infamy, disgrace, and criminal treachery of both the Serbian people and of Russia!
One may seek a simple Aristotelian explanation through the four fundamental answers to the question Why? – which is The Cause:
The Material – What is the matter of these people, what is the essence of which they are made, what is their mettle, and how quickly it gives?
One might be tempted to just declare them all men-children, sufferers of the Peter Pan syndrome, for they are to the highest level overwhelmingly nominally male – but emasculated. Their need to appear as “super machos” excludes females and any male who is suspected of not being male enough. Yet, it is quite likely that they act more like the infamous frustrated and unfulfilled envious middle-aged developmentally arrested mental teenagers, and lazy and vain dirge-divas gathered over the tomb of their dead dreams. And they shut up and scatter at the first look of disapproval by those they consider their overlords! Even when they only meekly lament, wail, and weep over their wasted lives…
The Formal – What is the form of these people, what do they look like, how are they arranged in a hierarchy, and what is their interdependence?
To the superficial (or Serbian provincial’s) eye they appear haughty, imperious, ambitious, hasty, and arrogant, due to their exalted Belgrade birth (as they love to say about the non-Belgraders, Elle n’est pas née… / Il n’est pas née… – while by “being born” they are supposedly all of both equal and unequaled rank). Yet, they are most strictly hierarchically stratified, each stomping upon the one below and reaching upward to kiss the feet of the one above. The current (and many previous ones) poor excuse for the President of Serbia is the supreme exhibit of that. They are “matrixed” to the “system”, being fed thoughts, and (often self-)issued orders on how and when to march, and how hard to praise or curse the designated recipient of their momentarily commanded attention.
Today, for example, we may see it in the most CNN-like squawking of their apologies of the “Church’s” “unanimous decision” (in reality, an order by the US embassy) to recognize the Communist-created so-called “Macedonian” “Church” and immediately to grant it autocephaly – all of that proclaimed as the “most wise” and “Holy Spirit-guided” acts of their “Holinesses” and the “Most Highly Anointed”.
The Efficient – What is the agent of these people, what moves them, what causes their action or inaction, or, even more precisely, WHO is their spiritus movens?
Serbian state “intellectual” and “expert” “institutes” (no private ones of any valor exist!) are the purposefully designed comfortable nests for a social stratum of spineless, vain, cowardly, and the petit-bourgeoisie-level avaricious self-praising, self-culling idealess, barren, and mostly mono-lingual caste leeched upon the state budget, and they are totally irrelevant to the Serbian society, and even less so to the community of the free and brave global thinkers who are on the front-line of the battle for the survival and future of humanity, as God created and intended it.
Having self-confessed, multiple times and publicly, that they think, talk, and act “up to a certain limit” since they “depend on the state budget”, their spiritus movens is obvious, especially when it is also known that western/NATO/EU/US funds feed the monster of the Serbian state that devours the true spiritus movens of the Serbian nation.
The Final – What is the end, the purpose of these people, what is it for the sake of which they are what they are?
A deeper observation might birth a conclusion that they are of the same Karl Marx-defined refuse tribe that still drags through history, multiplying itself into two identical but publicly antagonistic sects that had split and are still splitting the riches honorably acquired and accumulated by the dignified ancestors of the Serbs through the glorious centuries when honesty, bravery, and mercy ruled in the Helm Peninsula. One group is acting as “Patriots” and “Russophiles”, while the other declares itself European (EU) and Atlantist-Integrationist (NATO). Yet, both serve the same Masters, who are set on exterminating even the memory of the Serbs, regardless of the method. The only reason why they haven’t succeeded in their task is their cowardness and their subconscious realization that the end of the Serbs means their own end too – for although they are the shame and the blight of the Serbs, Serbs they are nonetheless, thus fated by the Great Reset for the same grinder of the disobedient, self-aware, and free nations.
That, actually, is the greatest purpose and the end of them – to serve the Serbs in their awakening and retaking of their own destiny into their own hands – hopefully soon assisted by the Russians! As le duc de la Rochefoucauld beautifully said, Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue – thus these people pay the greatest homage to both the Serbs and the Russians by being against them, declaring themselves superior and better, thus by their actions ensuring that we know the truth and may be guided by it.
So… Russia! Beware! And ditch these undeserving and sordid boils on the body of your true and everlasting friend and ally – the Serbian people! A period of suffering and shocks is the only manner of awakening this comatose nation from its induced catatonic immobility, which would yet again show us Serbia as it is today – a land, and a nation – grand in the fulfillment of the sublime martyrdom of her forefathers but humbled in the abjection of her children’s shameful desolation, but also, as it’s Golden Age poet described her in the 14th century, „made beautiful by piety, evangelical life and the dignity of right-mindedness“.
Just make sure you choose well who your true allies and Brothers will be among the future leaders of your only ever-faithful friend in Europe!
Serbian parasitic groups euthanized Kingdom of Serbia, 1st. Dec. 1918, period, Mr. Milosevic attempted to free it and Serbian World.
Sadly, 5th and 6th column, proved to be more successful, Serbs are tiny minority in tyrannized, occupied and fractured, reduced to enclaves, similar to NA “indians”.
RIP Slobodane!
Glory to Slobo and SLOBODA!
Window to western hordes of marauders and blood-lusting robbers, must be SHUT closed.
DPRK showed the way to dignity, trough self-reliance.
Have in mind that the “elite” described above is very small in numbers, although quite powerful in shaping politics, culture etc. in Serbia.
According to the latest polls, 82% of Serbian citizens does not support imposing sanctions on Russia.
This says a lot. I dont want even to think what would happen if the government would decide to fold under Western pressure and join the antirussian hysteria.
I hope the government is quite aware of this.
God in Heaven, Russia on Earth!
If Serbia wants to destroy itself, then it can join EU and NATO. It is that simple.
Shocking, I thought the Serbian leadership would be better than the rest of Americas European slave foremen, when even the noble Serbian state has been subverted things are bleak indeed.
I, a Croat/Swede I know the feeling of treachery but I´ve always viewed the Serbs as incorruptible and to cite a meme, “Serbia Stronk”.
God bless the Serbian people, may you prevail against the Anti-Christ serfs.
They are complete whores, Dane.
I don’t many in the Croatian goverment but i and most serbs allways feelt that Croatian goverment were allways more patriotic then these bandits we have in Serbia.
The world is changing and so is serbian acceptance of their own miserabel ledership.
We are slowly starting to demand more and hopefully we will get these scum out.
There’s very little that’s elite about the elite class, I refer to them as the parasitic class.
They’re basically whores with no allegiances to anyone but themselves and have little trouble with their consciences when inviting the western vulture into their country, knowing it spells bad news ( a life or death sentence ) for the citizenry.
well said about elites. They’re at the end of their rope too, and perhaps literally in many points soon. Even though Zone B is slowing drifting out of bondage, the old ways of thinking prevail among this top layer – based on the anticommunal worldview inherited or aped from the West based rent extraction, parasitism and deep corruption which holds the entire nation down. This contradiction is unsustainable and will see many of them lose everything quite soon. They haven’t gotten the memo on the meaning of Operation Z worldwide for their kind. And most of us common folks are in sad shape too nowadays, and we can’t blame all our woes on them. A people get the leaders they deserve.

This is an author after my heart – indulging in deeply rich hyperbole like PCR. Sometimes florid language is needed to fully express the sentiment of our challenging times.
“𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 “𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳” 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭”
I agree, it is beloved by hypocrites bent on betrayal, and far from unique to Serb oligarchs and nomenklatura. However, most who use it are likely sincere, so the term should not be degraded.
“𝘛𝘩𝘶𝘴, 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰-𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘤 𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘖𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘥𝘰𝘹 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘕𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘍𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”
The first part is a fallacy, and why does the author separate the Russian nation and Federation? The author harms Russian interests through this paragraph (and all of us fighting the AZE beast piggy-backing on Op Z), whether he realizes it or not..
The Elites of nearly all countries today are not worth a bucket of warm spit! Let us not blow things out of proportion. Serbia is likely par for the course. Europe will quite soon stop serving as a wholesome beacon, and as they start to eat each other will repulse most mankind! The false idol is disintegrating in real-time, like one of their bogus RT-PCR tests. And this true state of the West was long evident for those having eyes and hearts to see, who took the effort to peek under the glitter and gloss.
What then for the deluded compradore elites worldwide? There is a major emotional and psychological crisis on the near horizon for them, even without falling living standards and civil unrest. Their City on the Shining Hill is already in free-fall like the Twin Towers.
My understanding is most Serbs know the score and are keeping their powder dry, like the American Deplorables. No need for such angst about a thin superficial layer which has no future. There is an arrived storm which is discarding the Liberal Cult crazies and all its hanger-ons, straight into the trash-bin of History.
Serbian ledership has throughout the last 100 years been corrupt and controlled by the West with exceptions like Milosevic (poisoned) and Djinjic (assassinated).
Todays goverment is a complete joke.
Sadly there is no unity amongs serbs, never was and that is the only thing that is keeping us from fufilling out true potential.
If the Russian goverment ever went out with the statement ( even though we all know that they are to polite and correct to do so) to the Serbian people that they should change goverment for some other party, i believe that the serbs would raise up and do it within 48 h because we have more respect for the Russian goverment then with out own bandit goverment.
Well now, that would b an interesting experiment… 😉
Any Serbian ‘leadership’ that supports EU membership is bad for Serbia. One that also supports NATO membership is downright criminal.
But if you watch American sponsored N1 television, everything what Vučić does is wrong. And this goes on all day long every day. Who they would like if the traitor Vučić is so bad?
Oh, and Djinjdic wasn’t corrupt. He is from the same class of corrupt politicians in the Balkans starting with Djukanovic, Gligorov, Tudjman, Kucman, Koštunica, Tadić, and the rest.
Milosevic was not much different but changed his tune when he could see that so called western allies decided to abandon him as well. He decided to reveal all the dirty secrets at the Hague Tribunal so they poisoned him.
Last 100 years? How do you figure that? Serbia fought two Balkan wars and got pulled into World War I victorious. The new country of Yugoslavia was attacked politically from all sides culminating in the assassination of King Alexander in Marseilles in 1934. Was that “Serbian elite” pulling the trigger? Prince Paul steered Yugoslavia politics in the interest of Serbs. The Triparite pact with Germany protected the sovereignty and economic trade with Germany in 1941. British Churchill mole Serbian General Simović launched a coup d’etat and Prince Paul was ousted and replaced with King Peter II. Hitler enraged launched operation punishment and Yugoslavia was dismembered thanks to the Brits. It doesn’t end there, Britain manufactures a second coup d’etat and strips King Peter II and the rightful General Draža Mihailović and installs another mole Josip Tito to lead a new Yugoslavia. Guess who was part of Titos government , none other than General Simović. How does a Royalist and Communist get to lead together?? If these are the “ Serbian elites” that the writer Simić is referring to, he could be right. But it contradicts the actions of other so called elites such as King Alexander Karadjeordjevic , King Peter I , Draža Mihailović and others who fought for the freedom of the South slavs with blood.
Actually, no Djindic was not corrupt, at least not in the way that others in your list are/were. Having corrupt employees in your government says nothing about you. People tend to believe that every president knows and personally hand-picks every (corrupt) politician in his government. This is so naive that it needs no explanation. Djindic was naive and stupid even, and that cost him his life.
If he were corrupt, the way, say, Dukanovic is, he’d still be alive.
Both Djukanovic and Djindic were cigarette smugglers during the war and made handsome profits. That is just one example. Djindjic along with Kostunica set up so called investment forums where Serbian industry was sold for cents to the dollar. He then started dismantling the Serbian army slowly , Tadic finished the job by sending Kosovo war hero General Pavkovic to The Hague. Need I go on?
This article above is below any decent level of what should be publicly available and published on any website that is targeting decent people as readers. In regard of consistency, style, minimum objectiveness, minimum of emotional distance that writer (or commenter) should take when placing fingers to a keyboard.
There is great amount of negative emotion and disappointment of some kind on the personal level, that is screaming from every word of this…,whatever.
Looks and feels like calling neighbors to you home to take out all the dirty laundry of your family and screaming about you being hurt by some member of your family, but giving impression all the time that you are no different from those you are screaming against.
On one side, as a Serb, I feel ashamed, but on the other, I am sure that in any nation you could find person in specific emotional state, capable writing something like this.
The question I ask myself is – why was this published?
This is not the first time, and I am sorry to say, but as a regular reader of this blog, I can notice this pattern. There are a lot of articles given place on this blog that create picture of my people, country and government that is very different from what I see around me living in Serbia.
There is exclusive space given on this blog to people writing about Serbia in a way that is at least – not balanced, actually one-sided.
People in Serbia got used to unbalanced approach, mostly through 90s and early 2000s, coming almost exclusively from the side of our “western partners” and so called “civilized world”. What I do not understand is why I see it so much in this blog?
And Russia. How many times mentioned in the text above, the text about Serbia? In a so immature way. Like first or second school graders suing each other in front of the teacher (Russia). It is almost like fixation with Russia.
I mean, we all like Russians, for they are great and capable of stepping out to confront what we know is wrong and evil in the world (especially we – the Serbs), but do not loose your identity man. Stay who you are. Russians are great but do not mix them for gods, as they are also not perfection. Only or lord Christ is perfect.
I absolutely agree. This article is literary 6th column mantras. I also believe even author think of himself as real patriot that he is not very far from 5th column N1 narrative (NATO TV in SRB). He is really forgetting that we are occupied since 1999 and that Russia were not able to help us. In 1999 we went alone against fucking NATO and there were impossible to win. Also now in present situation, everyone in Serbia celebrate Victor Orban for much much less he did toward Russia than Serbian government. I think that is not normal, because Vucic needs to be pragmatic and not hurt Serbia if that can not helped Russia, what is logic to do that? Russians don’t even ask us to do so. Of course his party is corrupt, Russian politics is also full of corrupted idiots, every country has that, but if we are going to be realistic and pragmatic Vucic is leading Serbia much better than just few years before. He succed to keep his “neutral” position, we did not imposed sanctions to Russia, and we received good gas prices as sign of good will. We are not on unfriendly countries list like almost all other European nations. There are many good infrastructural projects, construction is really good, many new factories, we even received hornets, panzir and FK3! etc…I think there is no need to be so hard on Serbian leadership since it is just not fair in this moment. When I compare Vucic (who is lair and corrupt autocrat) with Macron or Sholc, Baiden etc…I feel like we have been lucky since these idiots can not handle such scum as Vucic in his own game of constant lies, spin and parallel reality. Btw coordination with Russia and China, nowadays also Hungary is very obvious and encouraging. Russians do have allays in Serbian people and Serbian church but it is clear that they can now relay on Serbian government as well.
I agree, in commenting on this so called “elite” Serbia unfortunately made choices to defend the interests of the bigger powers resulting in the decimation of it’s population. Vucic in his own way is making decisions based on Serbian interests, its actually refreshing.

It is hard to hear the Truth.
So called “Elite” in Serbia is driven by West “financial aid” almost 30 years by now, and that $hit will continue.
West simply wait until propaganda and influence do come to effect, and/or the brain capable people simply grow old or die .
They already groove their own “Judenrat” Serbian elite.
Personally, I am well educated, but I am not, nor ever will be – subscribed in pro Western point of view.
By pro Western point of view, I mean globalization and liberal mantra , which is so naked to see now days (if you want to see it , of course)
From my point of view, there are many same-thinking individuals: here in Serbia, in EU and especially, in World altogether.
Majority of Earthlings simply do not want to live “1984” style life.
Feelings of the Serbian people are overall in favor of Russia and their leadership and that is for good reason.
“Loosing Serbian Identity” is sugarcoating support for our spineless Vučić president – there is levels of gray between black and white and we are almost black completely.
Russian biggest error is “not interference in local politics” – stance. That is big mistake.
They should try here in Serbia, just to see outcome, how little effort is needed for substantial change.
We do have democracy in Serbia and that is all what is needed for change.
All I’m hearing here in so many words is “Politicians gonna politician.” Nothing new under the sun.
The shocking part in all this is the expectation that it would be Enlightened and different. This is how it always is and how it always will be across all governments everywhere.
Putins aren’t created every day and are fought all the way until one side or the other prevails. Putin won his battle, most other high caliber leaders lose theirs. First bc they are shocked at the seemingly illogical resistance and then bc they can’t tell friend from foe until the knife is securely planted in their back.
Nego Pakt Bolje Rat
didn’t work out so good last time around – better to follow the wise Swiss or Swedish examples.
But that’s precisely the thing.
Most of the Slavs (not Russia) have always been under foreign rule. People under foreign rule for long become more passive.
Removing foreign rule was a good first step.
Serbian “elites” are the same Satanists as EU “elites”. Mases are definitely by huge percentage on Russia side, but Serbia is an occupied country same as Germany or Japan.
Exceptionally well written article about a complex subject. The Serbs must become an integral part of Mother Russia and start to thrive to their capacity. Sadly, the Bulgarian elite is on its knees performing the expected service required of Uncle Sam.
Dera mr. Simic,
you and most of those very few commentators, seem to try to sell here a story that Vladimir Vladimirovich must be very stupid when he can be cheated by (is it safe to mention his name here) Aleksandar Vucic?
But we all know that our VVP is far from stupid.
Why should we trust you and not VVP?
I am a russophile, just like a vaste majority of my people (Serbs) our hard working president included.
All I need on a Tuesday afternoon is a self-hating Anglo crying about Jews/Democrats/Republicans. Go and shoot up a school or a black person or something, to take your mind off it all.
I live in Serbia and I totally agree with this text.
Russia should not give anything to the corrupted Serbian government.
Russia is not doing anything for “Serbian government” but for the Serbian people. It just so happens that everything has to go through the hands of the government, in Serbia or any other country.
Or did you plan to drive to Moscow every time you needed to gas up?
No, no, it does not work that way.
What is people? Expandable meat, treated that way, by any ruling class since day 1.
What the miserables will never understand is continuity of progression.
Some groups (tribes as I like to call them) do, and it shows, to some degree.
What you see on the stage now, are pure thugs of the highest order.
if you are a foreigner, it is impossible to comprehend the scale of treachery of the toxic structure which drags the mortals left and right, at will.
Intelligence never seeks what the rotten ones thrive on.
As for my Russians, there can be One friend, only, your military.
It is not only Serbian leadership.
The most of Serbian population have a messianic belief in EU.
They believe in the magic world where they would not need to work and where they would be fed by German masters .
It should be clearly said. The west want to show everybody that being friend with Russia is bad. Those countries are losing. The country should be strong and strategic like Turkey or India and to some point Algeria. Russia has not been strong enough to provide them a better deal. We can see this clearly all over the world. Cuba -sanctions, Venezuela – sanctions, internal clashes sponsored, Syria – civil war, Kazahstan – unrest, Belarus – sanctions, unrest. Serbia – bombing, ignoring demands for Serbian minority rights in other countries. Kosovo- proclaimed state which should be a federation (Serbian and Albanian part) at least, not centralized state what Albanians want. (should be a republic within Serbia) BIH – high representative is not neutral.
This is the main problem. Serbia is dependent from the EU. Citizens work there, foreign investors are from EU. A lot of EU citizens are of Serbian origin and live there when they are old. So freedom of travel with EU is very important.
The author of this article should examine his own motivations and psychological aberrations before posting such garbage.
Yes, there is an “elite” (elite in what way? Smarter than others? More capable? Or just occupying positions of authority the same way any criminal can? That’s not “elite” but “corruption in high places”) that is corrupt and working against Serbia’s and Russia’s best interests. It started a long time ago, and if one is to do a bit of a background check, it all boils down to the same players – a few hundred “chosen” ones who were bussed out of the country by Soros during the NATO bombing.
To draw such drastic conclusions from a minority of criminal elements, who with tremendous financial support from the likes of Rothschilds and Soros can pretty much do whatever they want and wield unlimited power in Serbia and many other countries is near-sighted and misleading.
Moscow knows what is going on in Serbia. They’ve seen people on the streets carrying PUTIN’s pictures rather than pictures of Serbian so-called “elites”. They know that Serbian people will never forget who liberated them from the Nazis, who was on their side through thick and thin during the ’90s when Russia could hardly take care of itself, and who is their friend today.
No need to paint an entire nation in dark shades of hatred due to a handful of foreigners who happen to hold Serbian passports in their hands, but the interests of an entirely different group in their hearts. Ever since the 1930s or perhaps even earlier, Yugoslav and Serbian media, politics, arts, sports, and so on were infiltrated and dominated by the same group that the author calls “elites”. Elites they are not. In positions of power they are, a corrupt power at that. That says nothing about who Russians should believe or what is in the hearts of the Serbian people.
I had the opportunity to live in Serbia and have never met one single Serbian national who disliked me for being Russian or who did not feel as loyal to mother Russia as they are to Serbia. Not one. That’s some eight million people, vs. a few hundred who hold all the power in media, culture, publishing, finances, parts of the military, intelligence, and politics, especially diplomatic posts. Most of those are either not really of Serbian origin (they are from that tribe that has all kinds of names, one of them being “Khazars”), or if they are, they have sold their soul to the prince of darkness a long time ago.
I beg to differ. Draza Mihailovich fought the Nazis, Tito fought Draza more than he did the Nazis. Tito had the foresight to see that Russia could not be defeated because of its enormous depth. Tito took over with the blessing of the “Allies” i.e., communists within the British and US governments, and then had Draza shot under a typical Communist pretext.
“While the Mihailovic units were engaging the Germans, they were attacked in the rear 5 times by Partisan units from the direction of Ivanjica-Arilje-Pozega. The Russian liaison officers observed these attacks but did nothing to prevent them.”
David Martin “The Web of Disinformation: Churchill’s Yugoslav Blunder”
“After the battle the Home Army turned over to the Russians 4,500 German prisoners, 200 vehicles, and much other booty.”
“The following day the Russians began to disarm the Home Army soldiers. Some of them succeeded in escaping, some did not. In early December the Partisans managed to locate Captain Rokovic in his hideout and surrounded him. Either they executed him or he committed suicide. In any case, his body was placed on display in the marketplace in Čačak.”
I actually spoke to people who witnessed Russian soldiers attacking Nazis in Serbia. They all agreed that partisans were amateurs, chetniks were outnumbered, and Russians were the only ones who Nazis feared and could never win against. In simple terms – it was Rusian red army that liberated all major towns in Serbia. Who wrote what and who took credit is an enirely different matter.
Example: an old lady who was a teenager during WWII and who lived in a town not too far from Belgrade, told me that every time Partisans attacked the Nazis there, they got beaten, badly. Then, toward the end of the war, Red Army came and Nazis resisted for a day and ran away. They then gave the town to Partisans and when Nazis heard this, they came back and kicked the partisans out with hardly a bullet fired. So the Red Army came back and liberated the town yet again.
This happened in many other towns too because Russians didn’t know that Yugoslav partisans were a weak, cowardly group unable to do anything well, except brag and kill all political opposition.
You are partially correct. The Russian army liberated Belgrade and the surrounding areas while the Partisans mopped up as the Germans and Croatian collaborators retreated . Tito’s propaganda liked to show that the Partisans liberated Zagreb and Belgrade , nothing could be further from the truth. My father was fixing Russian planes in Belgrade, the Russian army decimated the Germans. The Partisans did not have the weapons and armor to fight the German garrisons. The Chetniks were actually the first to join the Russians and fight the Germans in Belgrade. The Partisans showed up later and were only concerned in arresting the Chetniks. The Russians just stood watching as Chetniks who were fighting and calling them brothers were being arrested.
Meh. The government does what it has to do.
Sentimentally, the people are with Russia. However, at least to this point, being in the same fraternal group can’t provide the style of living they aspire to, not to mention that if they don’t play ball with the west, the West will start more turmoil inside their countries.
It’s a tough place to be in.
Sentimentally, the people are with The West.
They just pretend to love Russia.
They love money.
I live in Serbia
“One group is acting as “Patriots” and “Russophiles”, while the other declares itself European (EU) and Atlantist-Integrationist (NATO). Yet, both serve the same Masters, who are set on exterminating even the memory of the Serbs, regardless of the method. ”
Who are “the same Masters”?
I have yet to understand why the US deep state decided to destroy Yugoslavia in general and the Serbs in particular, but I would like to know specifically who is serving Satan against the Serbs.
It was not only the US deep state that contributed to the dissolution of Yugoslavia. The whole thing started a lot earlier, one could argue during the Habsburg monarchy.
The real deep state is not even in the US but in the UK. It’s that one family that is never mentioned in any of the lists of the richest, yet they control nearly 85% of the world’s wealth as well as the entirety of western politics, defense, media, education, and healthcare.
The Deep State rules by taking advantage of the selfish interests of corrupt leaders and their weak subjects, which is true of all western nations. Germany always wanted access to the Mediterranean Sea and with Slovenian and Croatian “Independence”, they finally got it. Is it any surprise that it was Germany that supported the war in Yugoslavia and the Croatian Neonazi government before anyone else? For those who don’t know how it all started, the dissolution of Yugoslavia started in 1974 with the new constitution and the most powerful figure in Yugoslav politics – Stane Dolanc, a German asset who wielded all the power he needed to orchestrate the country’s demise. Obviously, Tito was instrumental too, but he was getting too old to be of any use – he did most of the work during WWII which is why the western powers supported him rather than the king.
Then, there is the rest of the plan of the Deep State: ruin Russia by ruining their friends, and ruin Europe by bringing in the worst of the Muslim murderers and terrorists to the heart of the EU. Yugoslavia was in the way of both. Kosovo is now a Muslim territory, whereas it used to be Serbia (Orthodox Christian). If you take a look at the map of Europe, you will see what some call “The green belt” – a formation of a contiguous territory all the way from Albania, over Kosovo, Bosnia, and Croatia (which has a loose “federation” with Bosnia) straight into the heart of EU – Switzerland, Austria, France, etc. Little by little, the EU is ruined by the importation of the mass murderers and terrorists, at first via boats, but soon, by land, a much easier option.
Finally, Russia had to be isolated and brought to its knees – the deep state wants Russian riches which it won’t get unless Russia is too weak to defend itself. To weaken Russia, the deep state had to weaken all its friends, and Serbia was one such friend.
It was well documented that it was Germany that convinced US President George H Bush to change course in Yugoslavia. The initial official reaction to the civil war in Yugoslavia was that the US supported the territorial integrity of Yugoslavia . That shifted with the diplomatic efforts of Germany and false reports off Yugoslav army brutality when in actuality it was Slovenian and Croatian police units seizing army barracks.
The so called rules based world order was first broken in Yugoslavia and Putin did not forget what happened. The top General of the Yugoslav army Kadijevic eventually was granted asylum in Moscow and wrote a book on the conflict.
The US, via US Agency for International Development (USAID) (=CIA regime change central) has made a proposal to allocate up to $ 10 million for a program to “strengthen civic activism” in Serbia. This program is offered in order to strengthen the involvement of the population in the processes of development and reform of society.
So the CIA wants the current regime gone, to be replaced by one that supports sanction etc.
It sounds like they are ready to hijack any legitimate protest in Serbia to suit their ends – standard regime change m/o.
I read the article and the comments.. I am from Serbia, born and raised.
It is true that today we have tracherous goverment and ruling class.
It is also true that more than 80% of population support Russia.
BUT let us see WHY we have this goverment:
Since NATO bombed and broke Serbia in 1999 and after the fall of Milosevic we had goverments which were more or less traitors.
But let me ask you where was RUSSIA when the whole of NATO bombed us and occupied our sacred land Kosovo?
Well Russia had the same traitors as we do now!!!!
It is a common knowledge that when Russia saw what happened to Serbia everything chaned for the better in Russia and even smart man Mr. Dugin is saying that Russia “owes” Serbia for taking the hit for her bigger sister in the 1999.
So please cut the crap..
In my opinion author of this text is very likely paid western shill who wants to drive a wedge between two more then brotherly people with his “smart” anaysis…
We are occupied, completely broken and we need help in order to free our country from western strangulation
Those traitors were Gorbachev and later Yeltsin. One of the saddest moments in Russian history was the bombing and storming of the Russian Duma ordered by Yeltsin. So the traitor Yeltsin was leading Russia while Yugoslavia was being systematically destroyed. Only the Russian Duma was truly supporting Yugoslavia.
Just to challenge you. I see no substance or factual in your description.
Remember politicians and whoever is in charge of the overall picture has another job than we have.
They are exposed to a huge pressure from strong lobbyist groups, Nato, US Embassy, EU, maybe Russia and m.m., and have to compromise and seek the best feasible solution in the situation overall for the country.
Thus we go mostly wrong in our view of what politicians should or could have done. George Carlin has an excellent angle on this: https://youtu.be/07w9K2XR3f0
“Yet, it is quite likely that they act more like the infamous frustrated and unfulfilled envious middle-aged developmentally arrested mental teenagers, and lazy and vain dirge-divas gathered over the tomb of their dead dreams. And they shut up and scatter at the first look of disapproval by those they consider their overlords! Even when they only meekly lament, wail, and weep over their wasted lives…”
Cot-damn! I received a mental vision of Scott Adkins unleashing his artistic chops to those apparently on the receiving end. If words could hurt someone…..
I like Viseslav Simic & he writes some great essays & the sentiment in this one is absolutely correct – but there is no need to worry about the Russian political class’ interaction with their counterparts in Serbia. The Kremlin knows exactly who the Serbian political caste are & who they work for, let’s put it this way, it is common knowledge in Serbia that 3 ministers are working for the US/UK directly, they are Zorana Mihailovic, Nebojsa Stefanovic & then you have the actual PM, Anna Brnabic who is a self declared homosexual & Croatian passport holder who was a career staff member of USAID, which means she works for the CIA & everyone knows it. So, I know this, the Serbian politically aware populace knows this, well the Kremlin most certainly know this, & they know a lot lot more. Also, Russia has its own 5th column, look at what has just transpired with the outflow of oligarchs & other traitors en masse to Israel. You have Anatoly Chunais in Israel who just held a meeting their with Alexei Kudrin. What were they discussing I wonder? How to run subversion from Israel? Most definitely, along with a whole load of other items, like protecting the wealth of oligarchs & such. Acting as conduits between them & western intel operatives. So Serbia is a very small potato in all this, it is not that Serbia is not important, either to Russia or to the Atlanticist west, Serbia amongst other things, for a small country, occupies an extremely important geostrategic location, one of the most important in the world for projection of power in all directions. Eventually, an alliance between Russia & Serbia based on genuine brotherhood it an absolute must, but it will take some time before the Serbian people, the “real” Serbs so to speak, Serbs in their heart & soul, dictate the terms of politics. As things stand at the moment, Serbia is controlled by a rabid auto-chauvinist 5th column that literally hates the country & its people, as Simic conveys in his article. They are not far off from their fascist Croatian & Ukro-nazi counterparts, if one were to listen to the rantings of Dragan Sormaz, Darko Trifunovic, Darko Obradovic, Zoran Ostojic, & a host of others to numerous to mention (Milic, Kandic, etc.) these people are literal Nazis, they are fascists of the first order, their self hatred & auto-racism is as virulent as it can be. These people are a disease in Serbia, & the millions of us that live abroad are exiles because of them, whether the political emigrants from WW2 (Chetniks) or the economic diaspora that left an oppressive country impoverished by its 5th column, & this has been the case, as Simic says, for more than a century.
