Vanco Mihailov

[VMRO]

FYI guys, there is actually an active group of people in R. Macedonia who declare themselves as ethnic Bulgarian. They held a couple of gatherings in different cities (Ohrid, Bitola) in recent years. One of them actually drew up to 1,000 people. The leader is Petar Kolev who is from Stip, but lives in Bulgaria (I think). He also organized/attended a Vanco Mihailov gathering in Stip many years back.

Here is the video of Petar Kolev's speech at the gathering/conference of this group - "Macedonian-Bulgarian Friendship".

I think it was Viktor Kanzurov who unveiled the Mihajlov bust in Veles at the front of Dragi Karovs House in 2010. I wouldn't doubt that Petar Kolev was involved in this too though.

Correct, Petar Kolev along with his father Aleksandar Kolev are openly pro Bulgarian to the point of parading their grandfathers excharate baptism certificate of their great grandfather as if that is proof of ethnicity. I guess some people cannot get rid of the shackles of the propaganda instilled by the Bulgarian state and Church in the 19th century.

If you dig a little into who Petar Kolev is, you will find out what motivates him. He was employed by Karakachanovs BND party which would explain his actions.

The new Pro Bulgarian party formed in Macedonia recently under the guise of Pro EU called(Grajganska Demokratska Unija)



Petar Kolev left next to Karakachanov


He has been involved in a number of different organisations in the past few years, one called Bulgarian - Macedonian friendship which always had the same heads involved. The likes of Mitko Georgiev, Lazar Mladenov,Vladimir Pankov, Miroslav Rizinski, Viktor Kanzurov, Dragi Karov etc

Many Macedonians who have recently been going to Bulgaria's newly created branches in Macedonia are going for self interested reasons and couldn't give two hoots regarding Bulgaria.

The People's Party and the Radko Association are Bulgarman groups in the Republic.

So, they're racists because they say you're from the same race.

Well they are Race Deniers, which is still a form of discrimination or prejudice, regardless of your indulgement in mental acrobatics.

[VMRO]

So, they're racists because they say you're from the same race.

Well they do believe that they're superior and that the Macedonians are like a dumb cousin or idiotic younger brother.

When i wrote racist i meant denying ones ethnicity which the Bulgarian state and academic circles actually do.

Apologies if i used the wrong term in your eyes, maybe i should have used another term such as Nationalistic.

If it bothers you please just replace Racist with Nationalistic so it makes more sense to you.

[Risto the Great]

So, they're racists because they say you're from the same race.

No, just retarded.
Same as Grkomani.

[Amphipolis]

These same people also turn a blind eye to the Anti Macedonian and racist tones of Bulgaria towards Macedonia and the Macedonians.

[VMRO]

Aleksandar Panev was a staunch supporter of Dosta Dimovska and his profile does not hide it.

Sadly, there is an element in Macedonia that have a belief that Macedonia should seek stronger ties with Bulgaria.

These same people also turn a blind eye to the Anti Macedonian and racist tones of Bulgaria towards Macedonia and the Macedonians.

Vida Boeva was Vancho Mihajlov's secretary, her brother Boris Boev was minister for Sport in Ljubco Georgievski's government 1998 - 2002.

I believe she even lives now in the house Mihajlov lived in Rome funded by the MPO.

She has a dosier titled "Lihnida" in the archives where contact was made with her and the Yugoslav authorities back in the day.


She is a Mihajlov fanatic and in her eyes never did anything wrong even though he passed death sentences without bringing it to the CC of VMRO to vote on.

Have to question why he wanted a second Bulgaria and not just incorporate Macedonia into Bulgaria proper. The purpose of most Bulgarian nationalists is the establishment of a San Stefano Bulgaria. Why would Mihajlov seperate Macedonia from Bulgaria like that? He's a really confusing figure.

There are many arguments for that, one being the West would be more inclined for an independent Macedonia as opposed to annexation to Bulgaria.

Bulgaria advocated for an independent Macedonia when they were weak and Annexation of Macedonia when they were strong.

End of the day, Mihajlov flip flopped, he was more of an opportunist and i guess would tell whoever he spoke to what they wanted to hear which is the usual game of politics.

[Liberator of Makedonija]

He appears to want a seperate "Bulgarian" state a bit like Kosovo being a second Albanian state, however new CIA docs have painted him another light also so he too appears controversial at best with regards to his standpoints throughout his life.

But yeah, i can agree he wanted an independent Macedonian state, but whether this is to appease the Western Powers is unknown of he genuinely wanted independence.

The more i read on Mihajlov, the more i believe that his platform of an “Independent Macedonia” and “Macedonia for the Macedonians” was just smoke and mirrors.

Here is what Andres Londres wrote about Mihajlov and his methods on the good people of Pirin Macedonia.

"How does IMRO feed its servants? This is how! The owners of the cafes, restaurants and hotels; the grocers, bakers, sausage makers and stall holders of the district occupied by the conspirators – all of them taxpayers of the official Bulgarian Government – could not open their shutters or pitch their stalls unless they paid, in addition, a tithe to Mihailoff.
At Vantche’s [Mihajlov] orders the hotel-keepers must reserve five rooms in their hotels; two on the first floor for voivods, three higher up for the rank and file. To every man who presents himself with a card bearing Mihailoff’s seal, every baker, every butcher, every dairyman, tailor, hatter, shoemaker and chemist must supply bread, meat, cheese, clothes and medicines. Any who refuse will, for the first offence, have their shops closed for a month. If they refuse a second time, their shops will be rifled; a third time, they will be set on fire; a fourth, and the offender will be seized and taken before the tribunal of IMRO." - Londres, Terror in the Balkans p. 62

I read a little into Mihajlov and it doesn't seem he ever wanted to attach Macedonia to Bulgaria, he wanted it to be its own state but yeah is often accused of being an agent of Sofia.
