Does anyone know what flag this is? I took this photo recently when I was at the Museum of Macedonian struggle in Skopje. Photos weren’t allowed so I took it quickly but I’ve also forgotten what it said in the description. I’m interested because it looks like a Bulgarian flag which I found strange to see there. Pretty sure the description said something along the lines of “Flag of Ohrid 5th division/ battalion”.
I am having trouble uploading the photo, but it basically looks like a Bulgarian flag with some kind of crest on the top left corner and "M.O.B.N.O Gary and USA" on the top rightLast edited by Momce Makedonce; 07-29-2019, 10:08 AM."The moral revolution - the revolution of the mind, heart and soul of an enslaved people, is our greatest task."

Both of them have been deprived and tormented.

Originally posted by Liberator of Makedonija View PostYeah I've seen this before, believe it was commissioned by the MPO in its later years. Vic will likely know.

This one contradicts all other known representations of the Ohrid četa.

So I recently got a request for a follow from a page on Instagram that seems to be by a Bulgarian or pro Bulgarian Macedonian, I would put my money on the former.
On the profile is pictures and video snippets that they use as evidence that Macedonia has always been Bulgarian, your usual kind of stuff.
There were pictures of supposed flags of the Kostur and Bitola chetas from around the Balkan Wars which looked like Bulgarian flags.
Are these fake or real and how can we know?"The moral revolution - the revolution of the mind, heart and soul of an enslaved people, is our greatest task." Goce Delcev

Supposedly, the original flag adopted by the Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation following the Solun Congress of 1896. Such information seems to have been lost to our people, it needs to be made known!
