Jovan I. Deretić (), is a controversial Serbian alternative historian. ==Biography== Deretić is an engineer by training, but is mainly noted for his historical theories.〔Zivkovic, Marko (2001), ''Serbian stories of identity and destiny in the 1980s and 1990s,'' Chicago, University of Chicago, Department of Anthropology,p. 127〕 He is the proponent of an alternative history of the Serbian people that asserts a larger role in ancient history than described by most Western historians. He is sometimes confused with distinguished literary historian Jovan Deretić. According to Deretić, prior to the conquests of Alexander the Great, there lived an even more-accomplished conqueror named Serbon Makeridov: That Serbon, father of all nations, was a Serb. That is to say, all of his descendants, or rather all known peoples, have Serbian origin.〔Gordy, Eric (2003), ''Accounting for a Violent Past, by Other than Legal Means'', Journal of Southeast European & Black Sea Studies 3 (1): 1–24, retrieved 12 October 2013〕Ancient peoples such as ancient Greeks and Celts are therefore claimed to be Serbian. Deretić asserts that existing historical research is evidence for these theories but his interpretations have been criticized by other historians: The lines between respectable science, wild speculation, and lunatic ravings are even more seriously blurred when the oldest and most respectable daily, ''Politika'' uncritically publishes (theories )〔 Deretić organized a petition drive of Kosovan Serbs requesting Russian citizenship: "Ethnic Serbs in Kosovo would feel more protected, if Russia granted them citizenship." 〔BBC Monitoring Former Soviet Union,''Programme summary of Russian Ren TV "What's going on" 2030 gmt 27 Nov 11'', BBC Worldwide Limited, London, 29 Nov 2011〕 According to Deretić ethnic Serbs in Kosovo felt abandoned by the Serbian government after the Kumanovo Treaty ended the Kosovo War and they were attacked by the International Security Force (a/k/a "KFOR"): "NATO peacekeepers attacked unarmed Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica, and ethnic cleansing is taking place in Kosovo where many Serbs were killed, disappeared or exiled."〔 Deretić said he gathered 72,500 signatures from Kosovo Serbs who wanted to adopt Russia as "a second Serbia" that would protect them against anti-Serb violence.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jovan I.
