    Misajle Gjurchinov Joveski

     
    Hundred years ago, standing straight above trenches that Turkish army had just abandoned, hit by a Turkish bullet, fell Misajle Gjurchinov Joveski. According to the witnesses present on the spot, his fellow comrades from the Macedonian-Adriаnopolitan Volunteer Corps, he stood deaf to their cries to lie down in the abandoned trenches or he will face death, he just replied: “It does not matter; I am pleased to see their back, to see them fleeing!”

    And that is how he perished-he saw their back, they saw his grave.

    Former Vojvoda (leader of the Revolutionary group) and county chief of Rabetinkol (Kichevo region), Misajle today is totally forgotten and almost buried under the pile of multitude of other information from that stormy period of his participation in the Macedonian liberation cause from 1893 to 1912. Only few reports and really not explicit ones are pointing toward him. But the stories of his life were repeatedly told by his contemporaries, remembered by few of his grandchildren, and explored and proved by his great-grandchildren, with one and only goal-pursuit of truth!

    This humble text is an attempt to throw more light on his story!
