PREFACE

The book “Macedonians through the whirlwind of the ‘red’ waste” is about the latest great Macedonian deception that took place during the Greek Civil War (1945 – 1949).

Who wanted the peaceful Macedonian population living in Greece to join the global process of sovietization in the Balkans?

Why did we Macedonians enter the socialist model in the Balkans, when that model was already exhausted and meaningless after the Second World War?

Our research in the military-historical-political fields revealed bitter testimonies from the Macedonian people living in Greece during the Greek Civil War (1945-1949).

For more than half a century, the historical truth has been simmering under the ideological web, and the uprooted people have been melting away: wanderers and captives of great illusions.

This book will show that the ideological trap, the depth of the tragedy, the roots of evil, and the dark secrets about the genocide that was perpetrated against the Macedonian people living in Greece during the Greek Civil War (1945-1949), were deliberately concealed.

After the Second World War, the Greek Civil War was a new test for us Macedonians and it had two dimensions… which the outcome and the facts confirmed. These were: One, to expel and get rid of the Macedonian population from Greece and two, to liquidate the communists in Greece.

The attitude of the Western Powers was clear: Greece was under the sphere of influence of England and the United States, and the agreement with Stalin at Yalta 1 was a guarantee that a socialist system in Greece will not be allowed. The soviet attitude (Stalin)

1 The Conference in Yalta lasted from February 4 to 11, 1945. It was attended by Presidents Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt, in the presence of their foreign ministers. however was strange: “let them meddle in capitalist affairs” and support them – but with just words. “Meddling” in capitalist affairs unfortunately led to the start of the so called Greek Civil War which resulted in ethnically cleansing the Macedonian population in Greece and legitimizing the colonists and settlers from Asia Minor internationally as the “new” and now “real” Macedonians living on Macedonian lands in Greece.

We Macedonians living in Greece should have understood that we were living in Greece as indigenous people and our roots were from there, otherwise we would have been “thrown out” a long time ago. But, by participating in the Greek Civil War, i.e. when we decided to defend ourselves with weapons reinforced by Yugoslavia, we made it possible for the Greeks to dig us out and get rid of us.

This was a time when the Balkans was full of paradoxes and controversies, a mixture of old, anachronistic and new, undefined, illusions and delusions on the one hand, and desires to extract ourselves from our historically tragic division; for years waiting for the opportunity for our unification. Unfortunately the foreigners and architects who planned this war had other plans for us. They lied to us and encouraged us to do what the time was not possible that is re-unite Macedonia, which brought us devastation and eventually expulsion from our ancestral hearths.

The Macedonian peasant found himself sandwiched between the POWERS (CPY/CPM - Tito and Kolishevski on one hand, and the CPG – Zahariadis and Vafiadis on the other) and the SUBJECTS (NOF and AFZH) with no room to think or act on his own.

To look for logic in “fraternal” support, after Macedonia was partitioned in 1913 2 and to look for our proud ideological activists to lure the Macedonian people to “Unite Macedonia” after WW II,

2 As a result of the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) and the August 10, 1913 Treaty of Bucharest sanctioned by the November 14/27, 1919 Neully Peace Agreement and the August 10, 1920 Sevres Peace Agreement, Macedonia was divided between Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria and Albania, which received Dolna Prespa and Golo Brdo. Greece received 34,356 km2 or 51% of the Macedonian ethnic-historical territory; Serbia received 25,713 km2 or 39%; Bulgaria received 6,798 km2 or 9.5% and Albania received 0.5% of the Macedonian-historical territory. was a disaster for the Macedonian people, a triumph like “dancing in the dark”.

Is there anyone who thinks that the Greek, Bulgarian or Yugoslav governments would be so stupid as to arm NOF or any other Macedonian liberation movement, so that it could separate part of its national territory?

I am pretty sure that a reasonable person would say NO!

No so called “fraternal” 3 communist parties (the CPG, CPY and CPB) would believe that it would be a good idea to support organizations that want to separate parts of their state territories, especially in favour of the Macedonians who they claim do not exist. On the contrary, in such a case, any of the above mentioned parties would be declared traitors. If the CPG did that with NOF especially during the Greek Civil War, it would have been condemned and declared a traitor.

If the CPY and the CPG for example, were not in favour of supporting NOF and the Macedonian people in their pursuit to achieve their goals then why did they lie and bring the Macedonian people to the brink of extinction?

The Greek Civil War was the biggest fraud and Gramos was the biggest tomb for the forcibly mobilized Macedonians who lost their lives following a lie. This was one of the most tragic events in the Macedonian people’s history. This was not a “Macedonian revolution” as has been written in our “sectoral history”, this was perpetrated genocide. It uprooted our people from their ancestral homes and left them alienated and wandering around the world.

3 In my previous books I was senselessly attacked by historian R. Kirjazovski, who has now presented many hidden facts in this book of his, I wonder what he defended in the past: “How was it possible to look for logic in ‘fraternal’ support, after Macedonia was divided in 1913 and to entice the Macedonian for creating a “United Macedonia” after World War II. Did anyone think that the Bulgarian, Yugoslav or Greek governments would be that stupid that they would arm NOF or any other Macedonian liberation movement, just to separate a part of their territory? A reasonable person would say: NO!

For more than half a century now the historical truth has been simmering under the ideological web, and our uprooted people have been wandering around the world as captives of this great illusion.

This book aims to unearth the facts that have been deliberately concealed and expose the fallacy about the deadly ideological trap, about the depth of the tragedy, about the roots of evil, and about the dark secrets of the genocide perpetrated during the Greek Civil War (1945-1949) against the Macedonian people living in Greece.
