Povratak heroja (Serbian Cyrillic: Повратак хероја, lit. "Return of the Hero") is a VHS by Srpski pokret obnove, released in 1992. It is notable for its footage being used in the music video of the Lepi Mića song, "Dražin barjak" as well as one of two on-film appearances of Chetnik general Draža Mihailović's son, Branko Mihailović.
Background
In 1990, there was a new wave of nationalism and with it, a renewed interest in the Chetniks. The newly formed Serbian Renewal Movement (Srpski Pokret Obnove), took this opportunity and located Branko Mihailović, son of the Chetnik general Draža Mihailović. SPO leader Vuk Drašković would interview Mihailović which would be published in the magazine, Srpski reč in the same year.[1] On the anniversary of the third Serbian uprising, the SPO attempted to organize an event, but were prevented from doing so by authorities.
In 1991, the SPO would successfully host an event, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the third Serbian uprising with Branko as a guest speaker. Shortly after the event, Drašković would uncover a plaque with the words, "у Тополи Карађорђе/у Такову Милош/на Равној Гори "ЧИЧА" Дража".[2]
In 1992, a monument for Draža in Ravna Gora would be funded by the SPO. From the 6th of January to May, the SPO solicited donations for the monument via Srpska reč. This monument would be unveiled on an SPO-hosted event on 13 May 1992. The event featured musical performances, a speech from Drašković and other guests, and attendees from all over the world. Pictures, including the one used for the back of the VHS would be published in the 47th issue of Srpska reč ten days later.[3]
Release
Povratak heroja was released some time in 1992. While no label is attached to the production, it is assumed the VHS was distributed by the Serbian Renewal Movement branch in Stuttgart, Germany. The runtime of the VHS is about two and a half hours, with the majority of the VHS showcasing the unveiling of the Draža Monument. The VHS opens with a text scroll with a picture of Draža in the background, prefacing the moments leading up to the 50th anniversary event and the statue's unveiling.
