Summary/Abstract: An objective historiographic appraisal of the life of Dragiša Vasić has yet to be made. Attempts at his portrayal have usually been based on the later period of his life, related to his work in the Movement of Ravna Gora and have been burdened by stereotype dogmatic qualifications. Dr. Vasić too complex a figure to be successfully described by the simple phrases dominant in Serbian historiography in the second half of the 20th century. Vasić was the typical intellectual rebel, always siding with the victims and those who suffered most in great historic upheavals. He was interested in ideological experiments, believing in their aims and feeling disappointment when the results achieved fell short of his expectations. Despite his occasionally contradictory actions, he remained faithful to his principal beliefs - his faith in the Serbian people and their national struggle, his belief Slavic solidarity and in God.
