Isaija Mažovski

A Slavophile, he travelled to Russia to establish contacts with prominent individuals there including the Russian tsar, hoping to gain support for Macedonian liberation.

[7][8] In 1922, he authored Memoirs (Вѫзпоминания), which expressed his personal ideology and desires for Macedonia, as well as recollections of everyday village life in his native Lazaropole and the Mijak region as a whole.

[1] Mažovski claimed in the book that "the Old Slavic Macedonian nation came to Macedonia 2,500 years" prior and that Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great were "pure Slavs".

In a request to the Russian Emperor Nicholas II from 1885, he wrote that the Macedonian Slavic-Bulgarians were resettled from Russia to Macedonia 2,600 years ago.

"[10] Blaže Koneski noted by what names Mažovski called the Macedonian Slavs.
