What did the nephew of Samuel-tzar Ivan Vladislav Of Bulgaria (that at the time was mainly todays fyrom) wrote in a stone inscription back in 1015:
"In the year 6523 (1015) since the creation of the world, this fortress, built and made by Ivan, Tsar of Bulgaria, was renewed with the help and the prayers of Our Most Holy Lady and through the intercession of her twelve supreme Apostles. The fortress was built as a haven and for the salvation of the lives of the Bulgarians. The work on the fortress of Bitola commenced on the twentieth day of October and ended on the [...] This Tsar was Bulgarian by birth, grandson of the pious Nikola and Ripsimia, son of Aaron, who was brother of Samuil, Tsar of Bulgaria, the two who routed the Greek army of Emperor Basil II at Stipone where gold was taken [...] and in [...] this Tsar was defeated by Emperor Basil in 6522 (1014) since the creation of the world in Klyutch and died at the end of the summer. [6]
Gotze Delchev:
In his correspondence (all of his letters and papers are written without exception in literary Bulgarian language) he described himself as an ethnic Bulgarian.[9] In some documents, created by him, he defined the Slavic population in Macedonia as Bulgarian, for example in a circular letter written in March 1901.[10] According to the "Memoirs" of Gjorche Petrov Delchev was the co-author of the statute of the Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Committee in 1896,[11] where Chapter II., Art. 3. determines: "A member of BMARC can be any Bulgarian, independent of gender, who isn't discredited with anything dishonestly...." He was unambiguously considered an ethnic Bulgarian by many of his closest friends like Peyo Yavorov, the author of his first biography,[12] written shortly after Delchev's death. He also was Officer Cadet in the Military School in Sofia and later worked as a Bulgarian language teacher in a Bulgarian Exarchate's school in Stip. Delchev embraced the idea of a common Macedonian and Adrianople autonomous region (often explained by IMRO leaders as a transitional step to the full unification with Bulgaria),[13] based on the 23th article of the Treaty of Berlin (1878), uniting Macedonians and Adrianopolitans regardless of ethnicity or creed, and also opposed to the direct involvement of the Bulgarian state authorities in the liberational struggle in Macedonia and Adrianople areas.[14]
Nevertheless, some contemporary Macedonian historians like Academician Ivan Katardzhiev, director of the Historical Sciences section in the Department of Social Sciences in the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts[17] and the director of the Macedonian state archive, Ph. D. Zoran Todorovski[18] agree with the thesis of Bulgarian ethnic consciousness of Gotse Delchev, while the vast majority disagrees.

Panko Brashnarov:
In the beginning of the Bulgarian annexation of Vardar Banovina in 1941 he was one of the founders of the Bulgarian Action Committees.[1] Until 1943 Brashnarov worked again as a Bulgarian teacher. After that he became politically active and joined the communist partizan's movement fighting against the Axis Powers. On the 2nd of August 1944 in the St. Prohor Pèinjski monastery at the Antifascist assembly of the national liberation of Macedonia with Panko Brashnarov as a first speaker, the modern Macedonian state was officially proclaimed, as a federal state within Tito's Yugoslavia, receiving recognition from the Allies.
From the start of the new Yugoslavia the authorities organised frequent purges and trials of Macedonian communists and non-party people charged with autonomist deviation. Many of the former left-wing IMRO government officials, were purged from their positions then isolated, arrested, imprisoned or executed on various (in many cases fabricated) charges including: pro-Bulgarian leanings, demands for greater or complete independence of Yugoslav Macedonia, collaboration with the Cominform after the Tito-Stalin split in 1948, forming of conspirative political groups or organisations, demands for greater democracy, etc. In 1948 fully disappointed from the policy of the authorities Brashnarov complained of it in letters to Stalin and to Georgi Dimitrov. As a result he was arrested in 1950 and in 1951 imprisoned in Goli Otok concentration camp where he died.

Dame Gruev:
Gruev was Bulgarian teacher. Also after Ilinden Uprising, Dame Gruev sent a telegram to the Bulgarian Government clearly implying that he was Bulgarian.

The list goes on... Every so called fyrom hero was actually Bulgarian. Too bad for fyrom it is attested in alot of places...
As for fyrom people being Serbs, what we have: 5 Serbs in a village...Against self identification as Bulgarians of all their heroes. Language that is clearly Bulgarian dialect as best....
And we have the Serbian rulers in fyrom that the fyrom people do not accept as "Macedonians" and you have your clear answer what the so called "macedonians" were always: and that is pure Bulgarians.
