Invasion of NATO to Serbia in 1999 was very painful event not only for Serbian people but also for many people of former USSR territory. It was like a cold shower for many of those who thought that Russia must blindly follow Western agenda.
To commemorate these events we recorded special interview with Mike Mihajlovic, who was in the Serbian military when the NATO aggression started. Interview with Mike is available on

And don’t miss our regular military update with Mike which will be posted on Black Mountain Talk tomorrow.

When preparing for the interview, I have read a lot of resources and came across very interesting article published by Anatoly Adamishin which was published on August 31, 2013. Its name is “Yugoslav Prelude. Where did modern approaches to “peaceful settlement” begin”. You can read the article using the translator.
Mr. Adamishin was very clear in his article. The solution offered was not designed to make peace. It was Anti-Serbian in its’ nature. I cannot agree more here. West hitting Serbia was to become a symbolic final nail to the coffin of the USSR. But in my opinion that was the point, when many people in Russia and other former USSR space understood, what West is really like. It was an unpleasant wake up from a dangerous, yet partially pleasant dream of becoming “part of the civilized world”. Of course, some will say “we knew it before”, but I’m talking about common people, who simply tried to survive in a country which was falling into pieces.

And here, I would like to quote Mr. Adamishin:

One of the unforgettable, difficult experiences: in the evening I stood with my wife on the terrace of a seaside hotel in Slovenia. Resort luxury is all around, and a heavy roar can be heard from the sky for hours - NATO planes are flying to bomb Belgrade and other “targets” in Serbia, knowing full well that they are doing this with complete impunity. By this time, fortunately, I had left public service, writing my resignation in the summer of 1998.

It was painful for me to watch the news, but I cannot even imagine how hard it was for people who tried saving Serbia and failed.
History is a hash teacher no one would listen to. So, it repeated itself. Until NATO decided they can destroy Russia the same way they did with other countries.
