He was one of the leaders of what is known today as Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO), a paramilitary organization active in Ottoman territories on the Balkans, at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.
He is often quoted with his most famous saying,
"I understand the world as a field for cultural competition between the nations."
Had he been alive today, I'm sure he would have felt abhorrent seeing what his country has turned into....
On May 4, 1903, he was killed in the village Banica - he was only 31 years old.
May he rest in peace....
