Welcome to the MKUD JANE SANDANSKI website
This
association is named after
a great hero of the Macedonian people,
Jane Ivanov Sandanski.
Jane Sandanski was born in the village of Vlahi near Melnik on
28 of May 1872. His father Ivan participated as a flag carrier
in the well known Kresna Uprising.
Jane Sandanski is a big Macedonian revolutionist, and one of
the leaders of the Macedonian National Revolutionary Movement.
Since the start of his revolutionary activity, he became well
known because he protected the villager's from the tyranny. He
organised national courts, and he also organised the people
for a self-defence.
Sandanski lived and fought in the Pirin region, and that is
why the people gave him the name "Pirin Tsar" (Pirinski Car).
He was also active in the Ilinden Uprising, and in 1908, he
supported the young Turkish revolution with the vision for the
freedom of the Macedonian people.
Soon after that, the
Bulgarian Tsar Ferdinand labelled Jane Sandanski as the most
dangerous enemy against the great Bulgarian interests
(Macedonia to be under Bulgaria). In the same year, an
unsuccessful assassination was attempted on Jane Sandanski by
paid killers who were sent by Ferdinand. These paid killers
tried again to assassinate Yane on 15 August 1909, where he
was only wounded.
With the expulsion of the
Turks', Macedonia was partitioned between Serbia, Bulgaria and
Greece. Sandanski remained in hiding on Mt. Pirin and planned
to assassin Tsar Ferdinand but on the 22 April 1915, while on
his way from Melnik to Nevrokop near the Rozenski Monastery,
paid killers sent by Ferdinand, hidden attacked him from
behind and succeeded to kill him.
