Abstract:

The historiography on the 'Cold War', as written by Serbian and Yugoslavian historians, developed through many phases. These were defined by political and social circumstances, accessibility of historical sources, as well as the expertise and sensibility of generations of historians. In general, there was little of sustained and systematic research on the history of the Cold War. The post-Second World War Yugoslav historiography is 'full of blanks'. At the same time, however, it is important to acknowledge that it progressed along the long road from claim, as a form of ideological thought, to knowledge which is never final.
