Abstract

Its magnificent appearance and the multiple ideological connotations made the Temple of Saint Sava an arena where various public ceremonies are organized – not only those of purely religious nature, but also political and ideological perfor­mances. One of the most important events of this kind was the Vladimir Putin’s visit to Belgrade on January 17, 2019. During the one-day stay in Serbia, the Rus­sian leader met with President Alexander Vučić and his associates. This article is an attempt to analyze the ideological and symbolic message of the political spec­tacle planned with precision and great care for legibility, and thus taking the form of a performative implementation of the existing ideas ruling the way in which a political event (surrounded by a religious-like aura) should present itself.
