Ratko Mladic is gone. The racial ideology that produced him is not

The article discusses the death of Ratko Mladic, a Serbian general responsible for orchestrating the ethnic cleansing of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Muslim population during the Bosnian War. It highlights the atrocities committed under his command, including the murder of approximately 100,000 people, the displacement of two million, the disappearance of 40,000 individuals, and the sexual violence against tens of thousands of Bosniak women and girls. The article emphasizes the destruction of religious and cultural sites, including 614 mosques, and the massacre of over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys in Srebrenica. While acknowledging Mladic's death as a significant event, the piece argues that the racial ideology of Serbian nationalism, which enabled his actions, remains influential. This ideology, rooted in the concept of 'Greater Serbia,' continues to resurface in global far-right movements, raising concerns about the potential for similar genocidal acts in the future.
