VMRO/IMRO - Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization

[Ivo Arandur]

Haha, I got confused by the uniforms of the guards in the background (similar to our honorary guards' uniforms). Now I did spot the lower end of the Serb bird on the flag over the coffin. Alexander Karadzhordzhevic's funeral I guess?

Yep, the very same

Yes, VMRO-DPMNE has it roots from the really first formation.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Can you give more details. What's their connection to the original VMRO?

Предконгресна (охранителна) чета, предвождана от Кръстю Българията на лагер в близост до село Алан Кайряк (днес Ясна поляна), имаща за цел да осигури придвижването на делегатите за конгреса на Одринския революционен окръг на ВМОРО в местността “Петрова нива”. От ляво на дясно, първи легнали: Михаил Даев, Кръстю Българията, Константин Калканджиев, Христо Караманджуков. Втори ред легнали и седящи: Тодор Станков, Никола Славейков, Янко Стоянов, баща му Стоян кехая Петров, Спас Цветков с цигара, Велко Думев, неизвестен фелдфебел, Васил Пасков, Георги Василев, Димитър Катерински с пушка над коленете, зад последните двама - Сава Киров, Георги Хаджиатанасов, Димитър Аянов, тримата от края неизвестни. Трети ред легнали, седящи и прави: Димитър Янев, двама неизвестни, Анастас Разбойников (до Тодор Станков) чисти пистолета си, зад него Димо Янков (с вдигнат крак), Минко Неволин (зад Тодор Станков и Никола Славейков, прав зад Стоян кехая Петров), останалите девет - неизвестни, Юни 1903 г.

We shoudn't forget that initially the organization was both Macedonian and Thracian.

I believe most, if not all, of the modern parties claim descent from the original VMRO. However, I don't believe there is anything REVOLUTIONARY about any of them. They are modern political parties/organisations who are not struggling to free Macedonia from any external oppression.

I thought I'd start a thread on this glorious organisation, important for both Bulgaria and Macedonia. The thread should not be used for competing theories on the origins and politics of VMRO, but to celebrate it's history and impact on Macedonians and Bulgarians. Please post pics, articles etc. regarding VMRO in this thread.

Nowadays some brand is even collaborating with the Albanians, with the intent of allowing the Albanians butchering you...

The first case, dubbed “NLA leadership”, suspected that the then heads of the NLA, most of whom are now high ranking politicians in the junior ruling Democratic Union for Integration party, DUI, of having responsibility for atrocities committed against civilians during the six month long conflict.

proud bulgarians

Proudly confused Bulgarians.

Did you know that they excelled at killing each other in the streets of Sofia much more than at instigating rebellions in Greece and Yugoslavia?

Or the illegal activities in the last phase of their presence?

Only because Bulgaria lost against the Serbo-Greek alliance in the last three wars. Although I won't disagree that certain aspects of IMRO's activity were detrimental to the cause (fratricidal infighting mostly and some of the tactics applied by the later organization).
