User:Хак Фин/Bulgarian Propaganda in Macedonia

Bulgarian propaganda - a branched system for spreading and forcibly imposing the Bulgarian national feeling, culture, language, idea and influence among the population in Macedonia. The organized breakthrough of this propaganda begins with the creation of the Bulgarian Exarchate, after the abolition of the Ohrid Archbishopric - the Macedonian Church - the mother of all Slavic churches, and after the opening of Bulgarian trade agencies in 1897, the direct influence of the Bulgarian government in Macedonia intensifies. The purpose of this propaganda is to gather as many national supporters as possible who would be used as internal allies and a justifying factor for achieving the San Stefano ideal, ie the creation of a Greater Bulgaria.

As a result, even today, there are many Bulgarian aspirations towards the authentic Macedonian culture and history.
