The English wikipedia's article about Панко Брашнаров:
Panko Brashnarov (
1883,
Veles, present day
Republic of Macedonia -
1951,
Goli Otok), present day
Croatia, was a
Bulgarian revolutionary, member of the left wing of the Macedonian-Adrianople revolutionary movement.
He was born in
Veles where he graduated the
Bulgarian Exarchate's school.
After that Brashnarov learned in
Skopie's pedagogical school and worked as Bulgarian teacher to the beginning of
Balkan Wars.
In the beginning of the Bulgarian intervention in
Vardar Banovina in 1941 he was one of the founders of the
Bulgarian Action Committees.
In 1948 fully disappointed from the policy of the new Macedonian authorities he complained of it in letters to
Stalin and to
Georgi Dimitrov. As a result Brashnarov was arrested in 1950 and in 1951 imprisoned in Goli Otok
concentration camp where he died."
He was a communist and he was fighting against the Bulgarian authorities just as all the partizans, both in Bulgaria and Macedonia.
And if you think that a communist could be an example for Macedonian or any other country's patriot it's not good.
So do not always believe the things which are written in the FYROMian books. I also do not always believe the Bulgarian ones. Manipulation is always possible.
