Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the nationalist narrative about Spanish fighters from Macedonia. The analysis of this question is important not only from the point of view of the historical memory of the Spanish fighters from Macedonia, but also as an example of the methods used by nationalists when they turn history into a political tool for the present. The nationalist narrative tries to portray the Spanish fighters primarily as Macedonian national workers. The paper analyzes the means used for this, as well as the characteristics of the responses opposing this instrumentalization of Spanish fighters for nationalist purposes.
