In the work Praviteljstvujušći Soviet Serbian during the times of Kara-Đorđijev or the usurpation of the great men of that time, published in 1860, with a fifty-year gap, Vuk gives an impartial picture of a time. He was a witness to the disagreements and disagreements, the robbery that started the stratification in Serbian society, how the insurgent elders separated themselves from the people and cashed in the merits from the battles. The disloyalty of the elders, robbery and extortion, squabbling over power and wealth, broke Serbia even before the Turks would overrun it.
