Bogdanka and Dejan Poznanović were very important people on the Yugoslavian cultural scene in the last decades of the 20th century. With their work on the 'Youth Tribune', they represented the social integrators of the then cultural scene in Novi Sad with the cultural space of Yugoslavia and Europe. Poznanovićs was one of the founders of the 'Youth Tribune', which promoted new understandings in art and literature as opposed to the official propaganda of 'socialist realism. At that time, the 'tribune' was a meeting place for forbearers of new tendencies in culture, such as Vasko Popa, Oskar Davičo, Miodrag Pavlović, Branko Miljković, Tomaž Šalamun, Michelangelo Pistoleto, Marina Abramović, Slovenian, Macedonian, Croatian and artists from all over Yugoslavia. In the period from 1954, the Tribune was a place of integration of artists from Novi Sad and Vojvodina, whose critical and conceptual work influenced the formation of a unique cultural identity of this area. Among these artists are Slavko Bogdanović, Miroslav Mandić, Slobodan Tišma, Mirko Radojičić, Čeda Drča, Vladimir Kopicl, the Bosch + Bosch group, the OHO group, etc.

Apparently, the use of terminology can lead to confusion. The term "fascism" is most often associated with the ideology and politics of Nazi Germany, but at the same time with the naming of an extreme right-wing political option in the recent past. Fascism is considered an ideology of negativity: fascism is against democracy, socialism, equality. Fascism is often seen as a militant form of right-wing extremism, which served as a justification for denying basic human rights to millions of people during World War II - the right to life, freedom of movement, and speech. A parallel study of historical revisionism in Germany and Serbia and the current socio-political situation indicates a worrying degree of growth of nationalism, right-wing extremism and fascism in both countries.
