One of the most poignant sections of Marić’s work deals with the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991. For the children of communism, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent civil wars were not just political events; they were patricides. Tito, the symbolic father, had died in 1980, but the ideological father—communism—died a decade later. Marić describes a generation left without a moral compass. Having been told that the state would provide everything (employment, housing, healthcare, meaning), these individuals suddenly faced the brutal logic of nationalism and market transition. Many retreated into two extremes: cynical apathy or fanatical chauvinism. Marić is particularly critical of the latter, showing how former communist youth leaders seamlessly became nationalist warlords, because their core identity was never based on democratic principles, but on loyalty to a strong authority figure.
