Sometime in late 1993 SuperTon released two Baja albums, ''Rat i mir'' and [[Kockar bez sreće (Album)|Kockar bez sreće]]. ''Rat i mir'' being the first one of the double release, it, unlike Kockar bez sreće, features patriotic songs.  
Sometime in late 1993 SuperTon released two Baja albums simultaneously, ''Rat i mir'' and [[Kockar bez sreće (Album)|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 (Song|Grešnik]]" would peak at no. 4 in the music charts in 1994.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230707204754/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OoQSog04ts Baja Mali Knindza - Gresnik]. Archived from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OoQSog04ts the original] on 7 July 2023.</ref>


The Album would feature day to day topics like the hyperinflation of the Yugoslav dinar in [[Diler (Song)|Diler]] or the general hardships of war in [[Grešnik (Song)|Grešnik]], [[Dražo (Song)|Dražo]] about the chaotic Serb politics at the time and [[Tata (Song)|Tata]] satirizing the anti-Serb sentiments prominent in western media.  
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 (Song)|Đedo]]" and "[[Jovo (Song|Jovo]]". The song "[[Dražo (Song|Dražo]]" originally appeared in the [[Boro Srbin]] album ''[[Ja sam 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 (Song|Dražo]]" would have a complete overhaul stylistically, though its lyrics would remain the same. The song "[[Đedo (Song)|Đedo]]" would be covered by Lepi Mića in the 1994 album ''Gdje cvjetaju božuri'' and would be renamed to "Stari četnik".  


[[Tata (Song)|Tata]] would gain a lot of popularity in recent times due to the "My dad is a war criminal" meme and turn its original message to one of unironic glorification of war crimes.
Shortly after in 1994, SuperTon would release a [[Rat i mir (VHS)|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 (Song|Grešnik]], [[Dražo (Song|Dražo]] and [[Jovo (Song|Jovo]]. Despite implications of an RTVJ release of ''Rat i mir,'' a copy has yet to surface''.''

The same year the [[RTVJ]] compilation "[[Koktel srpskih pevača]]" would feature three songs from the album, [[Grešnik (Song|Grešnik]], [[Dražo (Song|Dražo]] and [[Jovo (Song|Jovo]], which suggests a possible RTVJ release of ''Rat i mir.''
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.


[[SuperTon]] uploaded the album to YouTube and various other streaming platforms for the first time in 2015. 5 years later in 2020 it got reuploaded together together with a lot of other albums and redistributed to streaming services.
In modern times, "[[Tata (Song)|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.
