Dimitar Vlahov "Memoirs" (autobiography), (Second edition) Slovo ISBN 9989-103-22-4. The author declares Macedonian ethnicity.

From the same book: "Кога зборувам за македонскиот народ ги имам предвид на прво место македонските Славjани. Под името македонски народ по тоа време мекедонските деjатели го разбираа целото население на Македниjа, т.е. зборот Македонци имаше поскоро географски карактер ...Кога револуционерната организациjа беше основана и почна да работи, jа започнува своjата работа наjнапред среде оние Македонци кои се викаа Бугари.."

Translation: "When I talk about the Macedonian people, I mean the Macedonian Slavs. The Macedonian people at the time meant the population of Macedonia - the name Macedonians had geographical connotation. When the revolutionary organization was established and started functioning, the first people to start working were those Macedonians who called themselves Bulgarians".

The author clearly says Macedonian is a geographical term and the Slav population is Buglarian. Mr. Neutron 18:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

The sentence clearly says that Macedonian at the time was a geographical term only, and that the Slav population were callED Bulgarians. The author in Bulgaria is considered as an ideologist of macedonism and he was a part of the titoist government in post wwii republic of macedonia. The book is actually full of criticism towards the Bulgarian policy. If you own the book, checking it will not be a problem for you.Ugzdaveam 18:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Here, http://macedonian.atspace.com/knigi/gv.htm check out this page, this is a book about him written by his son! I think it is more than clear he considered himself a Macedonian, but since I know you (Bulgarians) won't allow that to be written on the main article, I think that the most NPV decision would be "...he was a revolutionary from Macedonia. Bulgarians consider him Bulgarian while Macedonians consider him Macedonian..." or something like that. In any case, "a Bulgarian revolutionary" is more than unacceptable. For Pete's sake people, he was a statesman in Republic of Macedonia, he was not some ancient hero!
