%X This paper discusses sociohistorical factors and syncretic ideological sources of the Serbian anarchistic thought (from 1860’s) as well as its evolution and gradual disappearing in 20th century. Especially such specific elements as ties with local fraction of the Narodnikism, agraristic egalitarianism, criticism of the monarchistic state institutions and syndicalism are underlined. Also the reevaluating of these views (particularly antietatism) in the conditions of constructing of the new Yugoslav state after 1918 is investigated. The examples presented here confirm the thesis that after initial popularity of the anarchistic slogans (among others Mita Cenić and Krsta Cicvarić) in post-Versailles Yugoslavia this ideology was disarmed (except for Rodoljub Čolaković’s case ) and absorbed by the centralised communist movement.
