Summary/Abstract: The strategy of oblivion or omission of significant events and public figures has constituted differentia specifica of the processes occurring in Serbo-Montenegrin cultural sphere during the last twenty years. The article discusses, among other things, the most striking example of this strategy as exemplified by the symbolic figure – Saint Sava. The politicised efforts around oblivion/omission vs. fabulation of some untrue events from the saint’s life, undertaken by both Serb and Montenegrin intellectuals, result in a number of manipulative actions in the factual sphere and fit into consciously projected cultural politics of both nations.
