Vlado Crnozemski (Macedonian revolutionary)

[Blagojce]

Just watched an episode of Infamous assassinations on channel 7two. It was about the assassination of King Alexander of Yugoslavia in 1934 in France. Apart from it being almost a joke to watch. Interesting points listed were:

1.Macedonia never being included in the Kingdom of Croats, Serbs and Slovenes. As in it was never shaded in on the map.

2. Primary religions of Yugoslavia were Russian Orthodox, Catholicism and Islam.

3. Bulgaria and Turkey were both 'Muslim countries'.

and

4. Vlado Chernozemski the person who killed the King was depicted as a Croat and never mentioned as being a Macedonian.

Throughout the entire episode no reference to Macedonia was made out. The name could not even be seen on the map. Had me thinking for a moment if this documentary was focused on the same region of Europe were we come from.

Anyone else happen to see it ?

Well.. not every documentary is accurate.

I recomend a book called "History of terrorism" or something like that, as a must read, I'm aware that being a "terrorist" today is not something to be proud of, but somehow while reading this book I was proud that Macedonians were the first who started modern terrorist methods and hold one of the records.

If I come down home I will scan some pages

The person under this pseudonim was not a Macedonian at all, but Bulgarian, illiterate, assassin working only for money who killed many Macedonian patriots in IMRO.

What do we hold the record for ?

[Daskalot]

Acts of terrorism I would assume.

Im not too sure about Mara Buneva, but Vlado Crnozemski is a national hero in my opinion. He was one of the only shining lights in macedonia in the 1930's for hope and was very important not just to macedonian history but world history as well.

Plus there is famous old macedonian folk song about him which is very popular:

YouTube - Slushaj bre kralu : Music of Macedonia

BBS, But you cant put him on the same ranks as Goce Delcev,Pitu Guli,Dame Gruev,Jane Sandanski,Aleksandar Makedonski,Filip II,Chento etc

He's not worthy enough to be put in our national anthem thats for sure.
