ДВЕ ПРАВОПИСНИ РЕФОРМИ ОТ 1945 Г. – ЕДНА ПОЛИТИЧЕСКА ЦЕЛ
TWO SPELLING REFORMS FROM 1945 – ONE POLITICAL GOAL

Summary/Abstract: The paper tracks the nature of the spelling reforms carried out in the middle of the twentieth century in the neighboring countries of the present-day Republic of Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia. The author shows the linguistic nature of each of these reforms and explains why he believes that they both synchronously pursue the political goal of the political leaderships of the two Communist countries. Their aim is to replace the Bulgarian national consciousness of the population living in the geographical areas of Vardar Macedonia and Pirin Macedonia with Macedonian consciousness in pursuance of the decision of the Communist International from 1934. The purpose of the spelling reform in the Republic of Macedonia is to remove the phoneme and the grapheme „ъ“. The Bulgarian graphic system used in the geographic area of Macedonia is planned to be replaced with a Serbian graphic system. Thus, the connection between the Western Bulgarian and the Eastern Bulgarian dialects is cut off, resulting in the disunion of the above mentioned groups. Тhis is done in order to satisfy the ambitions and the behind-the-scenes arrangements of the Communist leaders of the Bulgarian Workers' Party (Communists), the Macedonian Communist Party and the Yugoslav Communist Party during the Second World War оn the so-called Macedonian question. Part of the Macedonian question is the abandonment of the Bulgarian Workers' Party (Communists) from the historical truth about the Bulgarian nationality of the Bulgarians from the three parts of the geographic area of Macedonia - Vardar, Aegean and Pirin Macedonia - and the replacement of their Bulgarian national consciousness with Macedonian.
