Rat i mir (Serbian Cyrillic: Рат и мир, lit. "War and Peace") is the fifth studio album by Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža, released in late 1993 by SuperTon. It was released along side Kockar bez sreće and is accompanied by Orkestar Pravoslavci. It contains themes that were topical at its time of release such as hyperinflation, the state of Serb politics, and hardships endured during wartime.
Background
[TBA]
Release
Sometime in late 1993 SuperTon released two Baja albums simultaneously, Rat i mir and Kockar bez sreće with the former composed of patriotic songs and the latter composed of love songs. Following the release of the album, the song "Grešnik" would peak at no. 4 in the music charts in 1994.[1]
Compared to the albums that came before it, Rat i mir would be more grounded in its theming as it is a contemporary look into the state of wartime Yugoslavia. It would still include songs to boost morale such as "Đedo" and "Jovo". The song "Dražo" originally appeared in the Boro Srbin album Ja sam Srbin. Released prior to Rat i mir, it was titled "Ustani čiča Dražo" and reused elements of the Baja song "Kad sam bio mali." "Dražo" would have a complete overhaul stylistically, though its lyrics would remain the same. The song "Đedo" would be covered by Lepi Mića in the 1994 album Gdje cvjetaju božuri and would be renamed to "Stari četnik".
Shortly after in 1994, SuperTon would release a VHS of the same name which featured music videos for many of the songs in the album. The same year the RTVJ compilation Koktel srpskih pevača and would feature three songs from the album, "Grešnik", "Dražo" and "Jovo". Despite implications of an RTVJ release of Rat i mir, a copy has yet to surface.
In 2015, SuperTon would upload the album to YouTube and various other streaming platforms for the first time. It would be reuploaded along with other albums in their catalog and redistributed to streaming services in 2020.
In modern times, "Tata" would gain infamy on the internet as it was used for the meme "My dad is a war criminal". As a result, its original message changed from making fun of war propaganda to condoning the act of committing war crimes.
