АЛЕКСАНДАР ЛУКАШЕНКО – СЛОБОДАН МИЛОШЕВИЋ: ЈЕДНО ПОРЕЂЕЊЕ
ALEKSANDAR LUKASHENKO – SLOBODAN MILOŠEVIĆ: A COMPARISON

Summary/Abstract: The first period of Milošević's rule, dominated by plebiscitary-populist legitimacy, bears an uncanny resemblance to the rule of Napoleon III. But there is also one contemporary whose regime can also be taken for a close cousin of Milošević's – the regime of Alexander Lukashenko. Like Milošević, Lukashenko also represents a relict of dogmatic communism. Lukashenko, too, used populism in his rise to power. And though this populism had no nationalist traits, its basic idea also rested on a kind of anti-bureaucratic revolution - the struggle against corruption. Lukashenko's rise, too, was accompanied by support or silent passivity of the strategic elites.
