Most important Macedoniae leader of all times.

Alexandrov,

When you have time, can you start a new thread with all the Goce Delcev quotes that you have?

There is no such resource anywhere online with the great quotes from Macedonian revolutionaries and it would be great to have all those quotes compiled together.

Good idea. I should get them all into a single Word document first though.

An excellent suggestion. I look forward to seeing it.


Adding an English translation to it would be good. I know Google translator doesn't like Latinica much at all. Is there another program that would make light work of translating the text?

... I just looked at the results he achieved and wonder out loud what would have happened if a crazy bastard instead of an articulate gentleman was at the helm.

It might be of some significance to note here that Delchev was sold out, ambushed and died fighting before the Ilinden Uprising and before most of the other greats of his time, some of whom, including Gruev and other VMRO Central Committee members, were 'merely' imprisoned before and during the Uprising.

Google translator is terrible. Light work = poor translations.

Start the thread, post the quotations, and zdravje, we'll translate them manually.

This New York Times article, which I found on Wikipedia, might be of some interest in the context of the topic:

Thanks Aleksandrov, looking forward to this new thread concerning Delcev, long overdue on our part.
