Summary/Abstract: At the end of World War II and in the upcoming days a strong wave of repression and revolutionary terror followed in all the countries of Eastern Europe, so as in Yugoslavia and Serbia, through instrumentalization of antifascism for the purpose of eliminating revolution enemies. This terror was only partially motivated by war, "revenge ethos", even personal reasons, which necessarily follow almost all warfares in history. Larger part of this terror represented the first phase of well-planned communist revolution, whose aim was to gradually eliminate its class and political enemies. At first, it was done by liquidations without trials, directed by secret police. Later on, formed political trials, mostly under the accusation of war crimes or some kind of collaboration, took over.
