675:"The brutal policy of Serbianization, which denied all human dignity in the Macedonian Bulgarians and severely hurt their national feeling, was clearly patronized by the representatives of the Russian Tsar and actively supported by the government of the Turkish Sultan, which artificially created affairs and pushed the Bulgarians into prisons and exiles, took away their churches and schools, created a tragedy in the soul of this million-strong Bulgarian people, which became even more terrible considering that the annexation meant not only denationalization, but also the return of the Macedonian Bulgarians under the authority of the Greek patriarchate, against which they had led years of bloody struggle and had barely escaped her vampiric clutches. The slogan was: Away from Bulgaria! Not because she was to blame for the situation in Macedonia, but because any suspicion of her intervention could harm both her and the case, which had to retain its purely internal Macedonian character. On these clear and well-defined foundations was formed the first secret Committee for acquiring the political rights of Macedonia, given to it by the Treaty of Berlin, from which finally developed the so-called Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization." 472:(...)The almost exclusive "national" basis of the Internal organization was namely the Exarchist population. The same holds true for the clear domination of the Exarchist social elite within its leadership and of the practical support given to it by the local institutions of the Exarchate. Bulgarian teachers in Macedonia constituted the backbone of the Internal organization while, according to their social profile, its leaders were quite often themselves former Exarchist teachers. (...) The lack of diverse "ethnic" motivations is confirmed by the fact that, in his brochure ("Stambolovism in Macedonia and its representatives" issued in 1894), Poparsov generally used the designations "Bulgaro-Macedonians" and "Macedonian Bulgarians" in order to name his "compatriots."
