History
During the 1920s there were many leftist activists from Macedonia in foreign land, the most notable ones being with a base in Vienna. In 1925 they formed the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (United) and its organ Makedonsko delo.
Makedonsko delo began to publish issues on September 10, 1925, it supported the ideas of the May Manifesto. The first issue was edited by Dimitar Vlahov, and he was the main editor of the first few editions before Vladimir Poptomov became the main editor. The main mission of the newspaper was to be a different from the previous ones which were written in the spirit of Bulgarian supremacism and nationalism and to fight for the unity and freedom of Macedonian people and their federalizing with the rest of the Balkan people. The main motto of the newspaper was "Independent Macedonia and Balkan Federation".[3] It was published in standard Bulgarian.[4]
The main editor Vladimir Poptomov also used multiple hidden names such as the name "V. Gramov".[5] The newspaper was also anti-fascist and was against Nazi Germany.[5]
Makedonsko delo published for the first time in April 1934 the Resolution of the Comintern on the Macedonian question which was made together with IMRO (United).[6]
