Fundamental
reasons of preparing the Macedonian people for another uprising now in the
Pirian part were many. First Turks, high taxes, not having a money to live and
killing and torturing of the Christian population of Macedonia. From another
side there was the activity of the Albanian gangs which were killing every non
Muslim population. To be a free citizen was hard with their activity. The
uprising in Bosnia and Herzegovina already started and also in Bulgaria. So the
Macedonians decided to prepare new uprising in the place Razlovci.
 Prepares: One part of
the prepares were made in Solun (Salonica today), and the other part - on
the terrain where the uprising should started, in the Pijane-Maleševo region.
By the prepares in Solun worked the leader of this uprising, Dimitrija Pop
Georgiev - Berovski. In the period of 1875/76 he was forced to be in Solun, onlu
because the uprising. The prepares in Macedonia, where the uprising should
started were leaded by the priest Stojan Razlovski, father of Berovski's wife.
One of the biggest problems for the leaders of the uprising were the money. With
that money they had to buy weapons, munitions, warm clothes for the uprisers. On
one meeting in Solun, Stojan Razlovski sold his land in Razlovci and the animals
to get money. With those money from the sold land of the both of them, they
bought weapons, munitions, clothes. The weapons were taken as the biggest secret
and were kept in a lot of secret places which the Turks had no idea of their
existing in the region of Maleševo, Pijane, Radoviš. Beside all of this the
leader Dimitrija Pop Georgiev ask for help from two teachers from Solun. He
wanted from them to create flag of the uprising. On the flag was written
"MACEDONIA" and the revolutionary call "Stand for
Liberation".
 Start:
During the month of April 1876 Dimitrija Berovski came in the village of
Razlovci, to see the prepares leaded by Priest Stojan Razlovski. In the hotel of
the Priest near the mountain Golak, Pijanečko region, property of Stojan,
were made a couple of meetings. For war were already got ready around 30
specials. In the period of the last prepares, the Turks arrived in the village
of Razlovci, to collect taxes. Afraid of the fact that they would be discovered
they started the uprising on May the 8, year 1876. The final prepares were not
made. The uprising first started in the village of Razlovci. The leader
Dimitrija Berovski went in the region of Maleševo, so the uprising to take
larger region of activity. He should been welcomed, there by more than 300
people from Maleševo, hard armed. But on the way to Maleševo suddenly
his troop meet Turks. They started a battle near the village Mitrašinci. The
leader, Berovski got a bullet in his head, but he didn't die. They had to go
back in the village of Razlovci and they didn't meet with the troops from Maleševo.
The troop of Berovski went to establish a contact to the troops of the local
duke Cone Spasov who had around 40 uprisers in the village Laki. Together they
destroyed the Turkish army (basibozuk). Then the troop of Berovski went to the
village of Smiljani, near Radoviš, where they had put weapons and munitions
from long time before. Since the uprising took the region of the village of
Pijane-Maleševo region, the uprisers wanted to start the uprising in the
village of Smiljani. But unfortunately they were surrounded by a unknown man
from Radoviš, and the Turks reacted fast. That is the reason for the fact that
the troop of Berovski couldn't go in Smiljani. So the uprisers in this region
had unsuccessful try to make region of uprising activity larger.
End: Reasons for the
fast unsuccessful of the uprising lies at the not completely prepares of the
uprising and at the fast wounding of the leader, Dimitrija Pop Georgiev -
Berovski. Beside all of this the uprisers didn't connected to the other troop
over Macedonia. And the surrounding of that asshole from Radoviš. A lot of
Macedonians after this uprising were killed and tortured by the Ottoman Turks.
Running away from the Turks, a lot of them emigrated to other countries. But
from other looking side the Uprising of Razlovci has great meaning for the
Macedonian people and takes important place in the Macedonian history. |
