Yugoslavian Patriotic Mythology – 1945-1990

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of the place and the role of Yugoslav patriotic mythology in socialist Yugoslavia. Within a larger theme, that of analyzing civil „religion” in communist Yugoslavia, this article analyses some segments of this phenomenon related to political myths of socialism – new heroes, leader cult, partisan movies and rock music. Based on these facts, it becomes clear that Yugoslav communists have been guided by their Soviet comrades. The past was ideologically adapted, so that the degree of consciousness of the Christian world was suppressed. A justification was the fact that new codes of communication were found, that tended to explain the world around people (an important characteristic of myths) by messages and morale, which used examples from the period 1941-1945, with the unique system of political and ideological ideas and with testaments that gave the party its authority, presenting it naturally as if it had evolved from the historical process begun in 1941.
