The Macedonian Secret Revolutionary Committee (MSRC) (Bulgarian: Македонски Таен Революционен Комитет (МТРК)) was founded in 1895 in Plovdiv. It was developed later in Geneve in a secret, anarchistic, brotherhood called "Geneve group".
The Bulgarian anarchist movement grew in the 1890s, and the territory of Principality of Bulgaria became a staging-point for anarchist activities against the Ottomans. Its activists were the students Michail Gerdjikov, Petar Mandjukov, Petar Sokolov, Slavi Merdjanov, Dimitar Ganchev, Konstantin Antonov and others. In 1893 they started in Plovdiv revolutionary activity as founders of the MSRC.[1] Then part of the group moved to Switzerland (Lozana and Geneva), where it made close connections with the revolutionary immigration and founded the so called Geneve group, an external extension of MSRC. The organisation was under strong anarchist influence and rejected the nationalisms of the ethnic minorities of the Ottoman Empire, favouring the idea about a Balkan Federation. Its members were to exert a significant influence on the development of the Macedonian and Thracian liberation movements. Between 1897 and 1898 two anarchist papers were published from Geneva - "Glas" and "Otmashtenie". In 1899 Gerdjikov comes back to Sofia and met there Gotse Delchev. As a result he and part from his comrades joined the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization. Slavi Merdjanov moved to the Bulgarian school in Salonika, where he worked as teacher and sparked some of the graduates with this ideas. They became later the so called Gemidzii.
