We focus on their attitude, opinions and interpretations of the political events, as well as the reactions to the decisions of the great powers – as an expression of the Macedonian view to the Balkan Wars and the projections about Macedonia. In this context it is interesting to see whether they concern the national question and how they articulate the opinions on reception of the results of the Balkan Wars.The attention of the Macedonians was pointed almost exclusively to the national problem and the Balkan Wars, even after the beginning of the World War I. They were engaged in finding a solution for the Macedonian national question and the realization of the idea for national state. At the same time they were displaying in the Russian public the...

Во правец кон Бугарија Македонците поинтензивно мигрирале особено од втората половина на XIX век и притоа можат да се сметаат како најбројна маса на доселеници. Нивниот број не може со сигурност да се утврди поради долготрајноста на миграцискиот процес со променлив интензитет и во различни правци на движење, како и поради непрецизната евиденција и статистика. Голем бран иселувања има во периодот по Руско-турската војна (1877-1878), растурањето на слободната територија во Пијанечко и неуспехот на Кресненското востание (1878-1879).

The second phase covers the period of the Ottoman rule, so it could be analyzed in the period of the powerful Ottoman central authority (15th-18th centuries) and during the revival period (19th and beginning of 20th century).
The migrations of Macedonians towards Ukraine were various and complex, characterized by most dominant types of migration, often mutual connected: church missions, education, trade connections, military missions, individual exile. The periods of migration are differentiating between each other according to the social-political relations that change the reason, aim and profile of the migrant. We follow changes of the type of migration, speaking about dominant types in certain periods.

As a "study-case", we are considering the village Galicnik in the Western part of Macedonia, at the time of the so called Tanzimat, seen through the works of few local authors. Moreover, as indicators of the results of the implementation of the reforms, the positive effects will be taken into account (embodied in the freedom for educational and religious development), as well as the negative consequences for the population (shown through a speciflc historical event, caused by the opposition to the military reforms).

The main focus of the paper is the manner in which the situation during the military activities before and after the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) was presented, with special focus on the treatment of Macedonia, through an analysis of the illustrations in the Russian joumal “Iskri”.

We take the Macedonian revival figure Ǵorǵija Pulevski as a study-case and an indicator for the identity determinants in the Macedonian cultural and national processes in the 19th century. We can call him a complete Macedonian revivalist since his activity profiled him as a national figure, publicist, national researcher, writer and revolutionary.

Several historical points are concerned such as the participation of the Macedonian volunteers in the war; the activity in Macedonia after the end of the battles; the reaction to the Peace treaties and the emigration of the Macedonian population. We present the historical events related to the period of the Russo-Ottoman War as reflected in the Macedonian memories, the perception of the results of the War and its consequences for the Macedonians.

This paper focuses on migrations as consequences after 1878, when the politically motivated migrations dominated and especially the waves of refugees. The unsuccessful liberation actions in Pijanec Region (1878), the Kresna Uprising (1878/79) and so called Ohrid Plot (1880/81), the Berlin Congress and remaining of Macedonia within the Ottoman Empire, the increased violence, the instability of the Ottoman state as a whole, immigration of Muslim refugees into Macedonia - resulted in a large wave of emigration of Macedonian population. It is interesting to see how these processes were reflected in various forms of stored memories and memorized history.

In the tradition he was a hero, as a prime image in the Albanian, but also as a secondary image in the other Balkan traditions. We find data about him, his family and his rule in sources from different provenience, written with different alphabets and in various languages, and originating from Dubrovnik, Roma, Hilandar, Budim, Venetia, Milan etc. The Macedonian revival activist (revolutionary and cultural-national activist from 19th century) Georgia M. Pulevski was an author of the first history book in Macedonian language. He names Skenderbeg and his family sufficiently correct, taking into consideration the data from the sources, with Slavic names.

Accordingly, we analyze the problem concerning the King Volkashin's name, the King Marko's title and the name of Mrnjavchevy's dynasty. Analyzing these forms, many factors should be taken into concideration. An interesting question appears if and how the different experiencing of the historical events could influence the transmission of their names throughout the traditions among the Macedonians and among the Serbians, or how the different emotions have determined both the traditional images and names in the folklore of the two peoples separately as well as their reflection in the historiography.
