Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to answer the question of why the contemporary discussions of the Sarajevo assassination ignore its revolutionary nature. Furthermore, it tries to explain how the assassination and its perpetrator, Gavrilo Princip, became part of the collective memory, how they were reduced to the requirements of the relevant national-religious narratives, redefined, and reimagined accordingly.
