Petar Poparsov
Petar Poparsow (also Petar Pop Arsow , or Petar Poparsov , or Petar Pop Arsov, written in Bulgarian Петър Попарсов ; born August 14, 1868 in Bogomila , now in North Macedonia , † January 1, 1941 in Sofia , Bulgaria ) was a Macedonian-Bulgarian Revolutionary, founder and member of the BMARK ( Bulgarian Macedonia-Adrianople Revolutionary Committee , later renamed Inner Macedonian Revolutionary Organization ).
He enjoyed his education at the Bulgarian men's high school in Thessaloniki , in Belgrade and in 1892 he graduated from the Sofia University . In the following time he worked as a teacher at the Bulgarian schools in Skopje , Thessaloniki, Veles , Prilep , Štip and others.
On October 23, 1893 he was next to Christo Tatartschew , Dame Gruew , Christo Batandschiew , Anton Dimitrov and Ivan Chadschinikolow , founders of the Bulgarian Revolutionary Committee in Thessaloniki, which stood at the beginning of the Bulgarian Macedonia-Adrianople Revolutionary Committee (BMARK for short). Poparsow wrote the statutes of the BMARK. During this time he criticized the policy of the Bulgarian regent and Prime Minister Stefan Stambolow , because of his moderate policy towards the Macedonian question and the Bulgarian exarchate , because of the support of Stambolows. In this context, Poparsow published the book Стамболовщината в Македония и нейните представители (Stambolovschtinata in Macedonia and its representatives) in 1897 under the pseudonym Wardarski .
In 1897, after the Winisch affair was revealed, Poparsov was arrested, sentenced to life imprisonment and exiled in the Bodrum Kalesi fortress . In 1902 he was released under an amnesty and continued his revolutionary activity. He lived in Bulgaria and took part in the Rila Congress of the BMARK in 1905 , at which he was elected as representative of the organization in Bulgaria alongside Gyortsche Petrow and Dimitar Stefanow .
After the Young Turkish Revolution of 1908, Poparsow returned to Ottoman Macedonia. When Macedonia became part of Serbia after the Second Balkan War , Poparsov fled to Bulgaria (see Macedonian Bulgarians ), where he worked as a teacher in Kostenez . Poparsov died on January 1, 1941 in Sofia.
