The article presents an overview of racist ideas publicized in the nationalistic journal Ideas, the organ of the extreme right in Serbia in the 1930s. Inspired by the theories of inferior and superior races and nations very popular at the time, some intellectuals in Serbia tried to prove the Aryan origin of Serbs and Yugoslavs, but also to suggest how "racial hygiene" and "people's health" might be preserved. The article discusses especially the historical and social context in which such reactionary theories emerged, as well as the influence of leading racist ideologists from Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany on conservative intellectuals in Serbia
