The pair of an event and the fidelity to an event has a triple fate: firstly, it represents one of the central conceptual cores of Badiou’s philosophy; secondly it marks that part of Badiou’s philosophy that managed to cross into a doxa; and thirdly, due to its simplicity, it is exposed to the severest critiques by outside observers. The paper argues that it is precisely its triple fate that is the reason to insist on it and ascribe it actual universal value. In this, it follows Badiou’s own modifications of the pair as introduced in Logics of Worlds, that is, the introduction of additional subjective figures and the introduction of various categories of change, as well as his commentary on the novelties of contemporary reactionary politics.Dvojica dogodka in zvestobe dogodku ima trojno usodo: prvič, predstavlja eno osrednjih konceptualnih jeder Badioujeve filozofije, drugič, označuje tisti del Badioujeve filozofije, ki mu je uspelo preiti v dokso, in tretjič, zaradi svoje preprostosti je izpostavljena najostrejšim kritikam zunanjih opazovalcev. Prispevek zagovarja stališče, da je natanko njena trojna usoda razlog, da na njej vztrajamo in ji pripišemo dejansko univerzalno vrednost. Pri tem se opira na Badioujeve lastne modifikacije te dvojice, ki jih uvede v Logikah svetov, tako na vpeljavo dodatnih subjektivnih figur kot na vpeljavo različnih kategorij spremembe, pa tudi na njegov lastni komentar novosti sodobne reakcionarne politike
