Macedonian Heroes, Revolutionaries and Vojvoda's

[Čento]

This thema is a collective thread about Macedonian Heroes, Revolutionaries and Vojvoda's. In this thread we can post informations and pictures. Please don't post pictures about today's Macedonian Army, for that we have a thread.

I will add and edit more information later, I don't have much time.

Let's start with the famousest Revolutionary Goce Delčev.
(January 19, 1871, Smilevo, present-day Republic of Macedonia - December 10, 1906 near Petlec peak in Maleshevo, present-day Republic of Macedonia)
Georgi Nikolov Delchev (February 4 1872, Kukush (today Kilkis, Greece) – May 4 1903 (aged 31), Banica (today Karie, Greece) (Macedonian: Ѓорѓи Николов Делчев, known as Gotse Delchev, also spelled Goce Delčev, Cyrillic: Гоце Делчев, originally spelled Гоце Дѣлчевъ) was an important Macedonian revolutionary figure in Ottoman-ruled Macedonia at the turn of the 20th century. He was one of the leaders of what is commonly known today as Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO), a paramilitary organization active in the Ottoman territories in Europe at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.

Pitu Guli (Cyrillic: Питу Гули; 1865, Kruševo – 1903, Kruševo, Ottoman Empire) was an Aromanian revolutionary in Ottoman Macedonia, a local leader of what is commonly referred to as the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO). Born to a poor family, he demonstrated an independent and rebellious nature early in life. He left his home in Macedonia at the age of 17 in search of wealth in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia. In 1885, he returned to Macedonia, formed a rebel squad and joined other elements of the revolutionary movement against the Ottoman Empire.

Pitu Guli is a national hero in the Republic of Macedonia, and remembered as having fought heroically at Mečkin Kamen (Bear's Rock) near Kruševo, where he was killed during the Ilinden Uprising in defense of the Kruševo Republic.

I was just reading this about Nikola Karev`s brother who apparently was 16 years old when he fought in the Illinden uprising. The fact that he was so young and willing to fight for Macedonia shows how much people were willing to give up in order to gain freedom. Feel very proud knowing we have people like that in our history.

No need for that lil f&#^# comment


or I send my dedo Vlasovski to beat your dedo up ,if you want to get childish about it


fyi my Pradedo was running around with IMRO back then originally from Mala Prespa but later near Resen

[Solid]

It is well known that Vlachs and Albanians participated in the Macedonian struggle, nobody denies this fact. Even if the revolutionaries were majoritarily Macedonians, we must not forget that a lot of nations fought for the Freedom of Macedonia (Jews, Serbians, Bulgarians, Albanians, Vlachs etc ...). You tell us nothing new, PetroV, and I don't know why you use a imaginary дедо for saying your thoughts. Are you Macedonian PetroV? Why your дедо (You) describe us as Bulgarians? Say what you want to say to us explicitly next time.

[PetroV]

Yes I am Macedonia as any citizen in Macedonia is ,and as far as my families history allows we originate in Mala Prespa and then end up near Resen just before/during WWII ,but we are Aromanians on deeper ethnicity

Petro Vlasovski

[Solid]

Yes, you are a Macedonian citizen, I know it, I was asking your ethnicity, and I've got my answer, thanks. PetroV, do you know if your family have any connection to Moscopole/Moscopolea? I ask you that because I know that a lot (If not the totality) of Aromanians/Vlachs of Macedonia originated from this area (wich was highly populated by Latin speakers in the past). By the way, you forget to answer one of my questions, why did you call us "Bulgarians"? Why are you provoking us?
