Venko Markovski was present at the codification of the Macedonian language in 1944 and argued heavily for the inclusion of ъ (yer) in the alphabet, accusing those that who opposed it as 'Serbinizing Macedonian'. Later in his life he apparently became to refer to himself as Bulgarian despite being born in Macedonia, publishing in Macedonian and assisting on codifying the language. in 1975 he fled Yugoslavia to Bulgaria with the assistance of the Bulgarian secret service as there were concerns there would be an attempted assassination. He lived the rest of his life in Bulgaria which he claimed the Macedonians were a result of a Cominterm conspiracy in the 1930's.
