Пропагандата на Бугарската егзархија во Кумановско и Паланечко (1903-1904) Нови документи

Abstract

The acceptance of the jurisdiction of Bulgarian Exarchate by the Macedonians was not guided by some patriotic feeling, sense of loyalty or love toward this Church, but by pragmatic, personal and lucrative motives made by individuals. These few documents from the period give inside look of how processes went and what was the price paid for accepting the jurisdiction of the Bulgarian Exarchate. In the darkest moments of Macedonian history, period immediately after Ilinden uprising when Ottomans made their worst toward the Christians, the Bulgarian Exarchate wasn't dedicating its resources to help the Macedonians, but to buy their souls.
