Яворов и националноосвободителното движение в Македония
Yavorov and the National Liberation Movement in Macedonia

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the participation of the poet Peyo Yavorov in the liberation struggle of the Bulgarians in Macedonia and the Balkan Wars. It analyzes his publications on the Macedonian Question and his relationships with prominent leaders of the Macedonian revolutionary movement like Goce Delchev, Yane Sandanski, and Todor Alexandrov. Some political delusions of the poet that were shared by the whole Bulgarian society are discussed. The paper emphasizes humanism and universal dimensions of Yavorov’s revolutionary activity, and not so much his patriotism and dedication to the national cause, which is typical for his image in the historiography.
