The Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO), also known by many other names throughout its existence, was a secret revolutionary society that - at its height - existed as a Macedonian nationalist terrorist organization from 1893-1934. While the IMRO was never a communist party or communist organization, many communists operated within the IMRO and several IMRO splinter groups later joined communist organizations. Several communist parties in the Balkans also supported IMRO activites.[1] Despite communist support for the original IMRO, the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization – Democratic Party for Macedonian National Unity (VMRO-DPMNE) - a liberal bourgeois party in North Macedonia - claims to be the successor to the IMRO.[2]
History[edit | edit source]
Ottoman era (1893-1912)[edit | edit source]
Founded in Thessaloniki in 1893 during the days of the Sublime Ottoman State,[1] the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization fought against Ottoman rule in Macedonia in a "democratic revolution". These early IMRO activities against imperialist rule had the backing of Bulgarian communists.[3] This marked the beginning of a larger conflict between Ottoman, Serbian, Greek, and Bulgarian paramilitary violence in the Macedonian region known as the Macedonian Struggle. Greek communists described that IMRO as the "most important national liberation organization of the Slavic population in Macedonia against the Turks".[4]
