NATURE OF STANDARD MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE by Mladen... 2007-03-09 00:34:00 NATURE OF STANDARD MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE by Mladen Srbinovski, "Glas", Skopje, No. 23/Dec. 1995 (Google link). PART I It is forbidden for everybody, who works on and with the language of Macedonia, to do remarks on it. From this restriction, only the people from the scientific institutions, secretly blessed by the official authorities by some strange "criteria", are excluded. The other people, which do not think like the Macedonian linguists and historians, and dare to express openly a disagreement, are under many troubles and dangers. ...My opinion on the forbidden Macedonian subjects is a humble one, but on the other hand, is completely mine. Similar is my opinion on the nature of the standard Macedonian language, the language on which I am educated and brought up, the language which I use and on which I write. Everybody can reach to similar concept of Macedonian traumas if decides to study the Macedonian problematics - it is not necessary a high intelectual level, only a bit of ho

Eftim GASHEV, A Macedonian and a former persecutedForum, 07.06.2000 http://www.forum.com.mk/Arhiva/Forum61/megaintervju/megaintervju.htm - What do you think should be done today to those people, from the other side (those who persecuted you, V.K.)? Many of them have died, but some are still alive? - GASHEV: Among them, somebody must bear the responsibility before the history. In our history there are big gaps regarding the solution of the Macedonian question. We must read what Tempo (Tempo: Tito's henchman sent to Macedonia in 1943 to "stir the antifascist struggle" against Bulgaria, V.K.) wrote in his memoirs - he says that when he arrived in February 1943 here (in Macedonia, V.K.) there was nothing (nothing yet organised, V.K.). Nor partisans, nor party (Communist Party, V.K.). He asked then whether there were some main headquarters of the resistance movement? He was told "yes" and that Apostolski is the leader. Well, asked Tempo, in

Sonnichsen(New York: Duffield & Co., 1909)Chapter XXIV: Confession of the Melancholy Brigand After leaving Apostol we began gradually shaping our course northward. Crossing the River Vardar we came into Kukush, and there, in the extensive cane brakes of Lake Amatov, we met and spent several days with Damion Grueff. He was on a tour arranging the elections of delegates for the coming annual general congress, to be held up close to the Bulgarian frontier. I took, then, a photograph of this prominent leader; I little thought then of the value this portrait would have to Macedonians. A little more than a month later Grueff was killed in a skirmish with asker.There were just six of us, and for five days we had been dodging military patrols, which is no college sport under a hundred rounds of ammunition, a Manlicher rifle and a twenty-pound, goats' hair cloak.

BULGARIAN ‘MACEDONIAN’ NATIONALISM IN THE POST 1989 DECADEBalkans'21 / volume 2 - 2003The present paper seeks to put forward a number of connected claims related to Bulgarian nationalism [1] regarding Macedonia. It is argued that in the years of post-communist transition this nationalism has been undergoing important transformations. The interplay of several ‘currents’ at both political and extra-political level helps explaining those transformations and accounts for the appearance and development of a marked non-confrontational trend in Bulgarian ‘Macedonian’ nationalism.In the present context, the understanding of nationalism builds on the insights of two authors. The one is Gelner’s view of nationalism as a principle of political legitimacy according to which political borders should match cultural ones (where ‘culture’ = ’nation,’ since the latter, unlike the state, is par excellence a culturally defined community Read more:Maria

Born in the city of Ohrid, he spent some 30 years (1855-84) as a teacher in this part of Macedonia. He published hundreds of articles and monographs on the dialects and folklore in the "Periodic Journal of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences" (Bqlgarskoto Knijovno Drujestvo). His major work is "Sbornik ot bqlgarski narodni umotvoreniya" in three volumes, Sofia, 1891-94.From the "Autobiography" (1864) of Kouzman Shapkarev"The State of Education in Macedonia""Genealogy and life of Kouzman, the son of Tasev (Atanasov), the son of Paskal, the son of Mihail Shapkarev from Ochrida.

Kiril Purlichev Kiril Grigorov Purlichev was born ... 2007-03-09 00:24:00 Kiril Purlichev Kiril Grigorov Purlichev was born on 1 Mar 1875 in Ohrid. He was the son of Grigor Stavrev Purlichev and Anastasija Uzunova. Kiril Purlichev died in Ohrid on 9 Feb 1944. As pupils in socialist Yugoslavia's monasteries we were told all about the revivalist Grigor Purlichev, and for our Communist tutors it was particularly important that we understood how Grigor Purlichev's mother had to labour as a servant for the town's wealthy upperclass just to raise her son. We learnt Grigor Purlichev was the son of very poor parents, and after the early death of his father, his mother and old grandfather took care of him while his sister worked as a servant-girl so that the family could survive. Thus the communist version of these "facts" allowed us to know that Grigor Purlichev married Anastasija Uzunova, but omitted any reference of a son. But was this simply because the son of Grigor Purlichev was an inconsequential person, who failed to follow in the footsteps of his father a

from the AutobiographyGrigor Purlichev was born in Ohrid and educated in Greece. In 1860 he won first prize in a Greek national poetry competition at Athens University for his poemO Armatolos (The Sirdar). He also wrote a second and longer poem in Greek entitled Skanderbeg. It is about Georghi Kastioti, an Albanian national hero who led his people against the Turks. Purlichev refused Greek offers of scholarships to Oxford and Berlin and instead chose to return to Ohrid, dedicating his life to oppose the assimilatory policies of the Greek Phanariots towards his Bulgarian people. Undoubtedly, it was Purlichev's own Autobiography which had the greatest impact on the Bulgarian people. Written in an easily readable style, it recounted many tales, as it described the spiritual and political oppression of the Bulgarian people. "I worked in Ochrida for six years. Now I have more than 5000 piaster.""Mother I'll go to Athens.""Go, son, go where it is bes

The collection includes a total of 665 songs and 23,559 verses.Although the Miladinov Brothers always called the language in which they wrote Bulgarian, since the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia they have been regarded by some linguists as Macedonians contributing for the development of the Macedonian language.

His primary aim was to point out that the Bulgarian language existed, even though it was absent in the dictionaries published in Russia during the late 18th century and which were deemed to contain all languages known at that time. Interestingly Karadjich's analysis of the Bulgarian language was based on the Macedonian dialects. Prior to formation of the Bulgarian Exarchate in 1870, there was a small, but influential group of Serbians, mainly politicians and some academics, who supported the concept of a "Greater Serbia". However, this was not the popular view and most Serbians saw Bulgarians as their Slav brothers and foresaw a close future relationship. For example in 1867 the Bulgarian emigrants in Bucharest had negotiated an agreement with the Serbians which included the following Read more:Serbian

at 1683, Ottomans were forced to rapidly withdraw from Europe. Led by General Piccolomini, the Austrians advanced as far as Macedonia. The military catastrophe and the chaotic situation inside the Ottoman Empire created suitable conditions for widespread outlawry in many parts of today's Macedonia, Bulgaria and Serbia, especially in the Moriovo, Bitola, Tikvesh, Veles, Shtip, Dospat, Kyustendil regions which led to the Karposh Uprising.Sometime in the middle of October 1689 the outlaw Karposh led an uprising which broke out in the region between Kustendil and Skopje. Immediately after declaring a revolt, Karposh attacked and captured Kriva Palanka. Kriva Palanka was an Ottoman stronghold built in 1636 to house Ottoman soldiers. After capturing the stronghold, Karposh declared it liberated rebel territory and made it his centre of resistance. After securing Kriva Palanka the rebels built and secured a new stronghold near Kumanovo.It is n

In the last four days, 3,000 men had had their voyage to Anatolia paid for them, and the Committee's resources were at an end. The Greek government, in spite of the promises of money and land lavished to secure the departure of all these people, was doing nothing.In Bulgaria things were very much the same. The Commission visited various places where refugees were temporarily gathered—Djoumaya, Samakov. The government estimated that as many as 111,560 emigrants fled to Bulgaria. These refugees were divided into .38 cantons. About 50,000 of them came from the parts of Macedonia

2007 09:15 FOCUS News Agency The Macedonian daily Vecer claims in an article Friday that ‘Bulgarians compete at this year’s Eurovision song contest with a plagiarized song’. The claim is published in an unsigned article titled “Voda* - is this a Bulgarian song or plagiarism?” The Macedonian accusations against the song ‘Voda’ do us a favor, the singer Mariana Popova, who performed the Bulgarian song at last year’s Eurovision contest, said commenting on the accusations. The motifs in the song ‘Voda’ are purely Bulgarian, from the region of Shopluk, the musician Stoyan Yankulov told Focus Agency. He added he had never heard a melody similar to the one he sings.“Balkan countries’ folklore has much in common. Along the same logic the Serbs can also say the song is theirs because the motifs sound much like theirs,” Yankulov explained and described the article in the Vecer newspaper as “a political jealousy on the side of Macedonia”.*Voda - Bulg Read more:Rattle
