The work is dedicated to the Bulgarians living in
Vardar Macedonia after 1944. Within the boundaries
of Serbo-communist Yugoslavia, they are treated as
“Macedonians” with a fabricated history and language.
The intellectuals in Vardar Macedonia resist
against the return of the Great Serbian chauvinism,
and oppose against the persecution of Bulgarian nationality
by repressions, prisons, detention camps
etc.
The work offers a lot of information and is addressed
to experts, politicians, diplomats and a wide
circle of readers.

INTRODUCTION
The events, that have been taking place in Vardar Macedonia
since 1944, where the pan-Serbian communists put out of
the law the Bulgarian nationality, language and history, out of the
law as well as the aspirations of the local intelligentsia to defend
them even at the cost of the life, are an extremely important scientific
and political problem.
The main aim of this study is to take a fleeting look at those
tragic events, which are of fatal importance to several generations
of Bulgarians, left on their own for several decades (since
1944), to defend the Bulgarian name and language, the Bulgarian
history and national-cultural identity of Macedonia, and to a
certain extent the whole Bulgarian spirit.
The dramatic pages, dedicated to the heroism and selfsacrifice
of the intelligentsia in Macedonia, standing, after 1944,
in the lead of the fight against the pan-Serbian communist oppression
of the Bulgarian population in Macedonia, must become
public knowledge not only to the Bulgarian but also to the international
public consciousness.
The research study is based completely on original
sources. Predominantly, the documental notes of the most notorious
participants in the new struggle have been used. Facts
from the press, concerning the mentioned events, as well as the
published abroad and at home documental memoires have also
been used.
The present study (which is part of a bigger investigation)
is a colourless reflaction of the victims given and the tragedy,
lived through by the Bulgarians in Vardar Macedonia under the
Serbocommunist regime during the period examined.

After the new return of the pan-Serbian chauvinists to
Vardar Macedonia, in October and November of 1944, in spite of
having status of a “federal unit” in the newly created Yugoslav
federation, the region, again becomes a valley of tears, blood
and death.
In order to force the Bulgarian population to resign to the
externally imposed pan-Serbian communist decision about
Vardar Macedonia, the new authorities, headed by Svetozar
Voukmanovitch-Tempo, Lazar Koulishevski, Alexander Rankovitch
and others, undertake mass repressions and assassinations
of the eminent and open-minded patriots in Macedonia,
proclaiming them for “pan-Bulgarian chauvinists”, “fascists”,
“Michailovists”, “IMRO-ists” etc., all “mortal
sins”, for which the pan-Serbian chauvunists and their servants
in Macedonia pеrsecute and murder.
Only in 1945 and 1946, with or without any sentence there
have been executed or have dissappeared without trace more
than 4700 Bulgarians. There are mass murders in Prilep, Bitolya,
Veles, Koumanovo, Shtip, the villages around Malashevtsi,
Kavadartsi and in other places. At the same time, more than 15
000 are arrested, accused as “collaborators to the Bulgarian occupator”,
of “insulting the Macedonian honour” and working
against the unity of new Yugoslavia. They are, in fact, thousands
of Macedonian patriots, who openly confront the return of Vardar
Macedonia, no matter the form, to Serbian Yugoslavia.
They do
not accept the Macedonian name to be confronted with the Bulgarian
essence of Macedonia, nor to cultivate hatred and detestation
to Bulgaria, as a principal criterion of “Macedonian” patriotism...
