Inner Dobrujani Revolutionary Organization
The interior Dobrudschanische Revolutionary Organization ( Bulgarian Вътрешна добруджанска революционна организация Watreschna dobrudschanska rewoljuzionna organisazija , Romanian Organizaţia interna Revoluţionară Dobrogeană ) or IDRO was a Bulgarian organization in Romania , especially the Dobrogea , 1923 was active until the 1940th It was viewed by Romania as a "terrorist organization" and by Bulgaria as a freedom movement.
The organization was founded in 1923 under the leadership of Dotscho Michailow on the basis of the "Great Dobrudscha Association" (GDV for short, Bulgarian Велик добруджански събор, Velik dobrudschanski sabor) in order to combat the Romanian incorporation of the South Dobrusha war ( after the Second Military War of the South Dobrusha) Balkan War attacked Romania Bulgaria and after the peace of Bucharest in 1913 was able to annex the southern Dobrusha ). The GDV, in turn, was founded in 1919 as a Bulgarian political organization.
Similar to the Inner Macedonian Revolutionary Organization IMRO and the Inner Thracian Revolutionary Organization (ITRO) in Thrace , it demanded the political autonomy of Dobruja under the mandate of the League of Nations , with the option of a later annexation to Bulgaria . Following the example of its big brother organization, IMRO, which fought with the slogan “Macedonia for the Macedonians”, the IDRO chose the slogan “Dobrudscha for the Dobrujans ” in order not to exclude the non-Bulgarian population from the fight against the Romanian government.
In 1925, similar to the IMRO, under the leadership of the Communist International and the Bulgarian Communist Party, a left splinter party, the so-called "Dobrujan Revolutionary Organization" (Bulgar. Добруджанска революционна организация, Organizazionna rewoljuzionna) was founded. This wing of the organization campaigned for a Dobruja Soviet republic as part of a “Federative Socialist Balkan State” or even for affiliation with the Soviet Union. The division of the IDRO had massively restricted the scope for action, but it carried out less important actions until 1940, when the southern Dobruja was reconnected to Bulgaria in the Treaty of Craiova .
