Yordan Piperkov (1870–1903) (Bulgarian: Йордан Силянов Пиперков; Macedonian: Јордан Силјанов Пиперков), widely known as Yordan Piperkata, (Bulgarian: Йордан Пиперката, Macedonian: Јордан Пиперката) was a Macedonian Bulgarian revolutionary from the early 20th century, member of the Supreme Macedonian-Adrianople Committee and later of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization (IMARO).[1][2][3] According to the post-WWII Macedonian historiography, he was an ethnic Macedonian.[4]

Life[]

He was born in , Ottoman Empire, today in Kičevo Municipality, North Macedonia to a poor family. He could not graduate at the Bulgarian secondary school in Bitola, because his family moved to Sofia, Bulgaria, where he met insurgents from the Kresna-Razlog Uprising and other vojvods. This sparked in him an interest for the Macedonian liberation movement. Later Piperkata was active in the Supreme Macedonian Committee chetas' action in 1895 in Ottoman Macedonia. Afterwards he participated in IMARO and several times entered Macedonia from Bulgaria with different chetas. Piperkata was killed during the Ilinden Uprising. After the death of Yordan, his assistant, the Bulgarian Army officer Dimitar Dechev, took his place. Dechev took avenge on the Turks for Yordan's murder.[5]

  4. ^ The first name of the IMRO was "Bulgarian Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Committees", which was later changed several times. Initially its membership was restricted only for Bulgarians. It was active not only in Macedonia but also in Thrace (the Vilayet of Adrianople). Since its early name emphasized the Bulgarian nature of the organization by linking the inhabitants of Thrace and Macedonia to Bulgaria, these facts are still difficult to be explained from the Macedonian historiography. They suggest that IMRO revolutionaries in the Ottoman period did not differentiate between ‘Macedonians’ and ‘Bulgarians’. Moreover, as their own writings attest, they often saw themselves and their compatriots as ‘Bulgarians’ and wrote in Bulgarian standard language.
