Good stuff TM, you have been meaning to get information on the Macedonians of Pirin together for a while now, nice to see multiple references concerning this topic.
In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.
the whole nation is an excersize in absurdity, when in fact there are more macedonians in bulgaria then ethnic bulgars. why dont these anally retentive wankers who are so preoccupied with historically correct names ever speak of nations like bugaria rumania grtsia, what a joke. how can we as macedonians take the self professed experts on balkan history seriously.
Guys, you are not looking for any truth. You had decided what the truth is and then proceeded to finding evidence-it's just not how things are done, that's not a scientific approach.
You are free to explain to the people in Blagoevgrad that they are Macedonians (ethnically not geographically), but prepare yourselves for the response, they are not famous for being gentle, at least among my friends who lived there.
Some of the documents in this tread can lead you to the causes behind the Pirin issue-that is the feud between Stalin and Tito. It turns the political moods to 180 degrees for a reason.
The following link provides an interview+the sound file with the son of the first director of the People's Militia after 1944-Rusi Hristozov-George, who speaks about his father's personal archive.
If you have the courage and honor, please leave the link so that people can see it and decide for themselves.
