  Macedonia - What Went Wrong in the Last 200 Years - Part IV - The 1903 Ilinden Aftermath by Risto Stefov
The "Krushevo Republic" unfortunately, lasted only two weeks, but it was a glorious Republic that will forever remind the Macedonian people of their eternal struggle for independence and of their thirst for freedom.
The liberation of Krushevo imprinted on the new Macedonian generations the legacy of a timeless and irreversible march towards self-determination.
Krushevo alone was surrounded by 20,000 Turkish troops with 18 cannons against an encircled force of no more than 1,200 rebel fighters.

 Krushevo by Stefanovski, Vlatko / Tadic, Miroslav CD
It is significant, I think, that this album was titled "Krushevo," because the little town of Krushevo has been considered to be the birthplace of "Macedonian liberty" and their perennial strive for liberation and emancipation.
The connection between Krushevo as an "over-the-ages-abiding" symbol of freedom and Tadic/Stefanovski's Krushevo is in the fact that the music of this album is consciously cultural/ethnic in character, and, thus, imbued with the elements and themes of the "Macedonian saga."
And, I think, precisely because of this fact Krushevo is a "must" for all who are burdened with the noble desire to explore and understand the artistic expressions of human cultures, in order to come to appreciate those cultures and love the people they represent.

Krushevo became a significant populated settlement in the eighteenth century when Vlach refugees from the city of Moschopolis fled to the area.
Although they remained Ottoman subjects until 1912, the inhabitants were able to purchase the land on which their town was built as a result of the tanzimat reforms in the mid-nineteenth century.
Tito visited the town in 1969 and within a few years the road up from the valley had been improved, a ski-lift added at one end of the town and, in 1974, a monument at the other.

 The Nationalism Project: Book Review of The Past in Question
Although discussing in several chapters both the varied accounts of the uprising and life in the town in the first half of the twentieth century, the three chapters on the Socialist redefinition of Krushevo are the most crucial.
By the 1950s, the partisan struggle of the Second World War was being cast as a “Second Ilinden” of Macedonian national liberation and the new national history began to portray events in Krushevo as part of a paradigm of national liberation.
The only fault in methodology might be that greater consideration to education policies could be given, particularly given the impetus in Macedonia to codify the new national history and foster it in the literacy and education campaigns of the 1940s and 1950s.

In Trstenik, a local community organisation is seeking to renovate a ruined church; within the town of Krushevo, a young married couple seek a more comfortable life; on the town's outskirts, a state tries to keep a monument meaningful.
These three sites around Krushevo represent different modes in which it could be argued that communities in the present engage in dialogues with a set of pasts.
Its destruction in 1903 was sufficiently shocking and extensive to be reported in the Western press, and various regimes of the past twenty years have made particular investments in its status as a symbol of the nation's ordeals and ultimate success.

 NL6_9: Book Review "Paravuli" by Nicolae Batzaria
The first is when Cunia asserts that Batzaria's home town of Krushevo (now in Yugoslavia) was "inhabited exclusively by Aromanians." This is part of the mythology fed to a Rumanian-educated generation that has rarely set foot in our actual homeland, much less conducted serious research on the subject.
In the case of Krushevo, Dr. Cunia could easily have gotten his facts straight by consulting Dr. Zbigniew Golab's 1984 book, The Arumanian Dialect of Krushevo.
In its pages we find that Krushevo, since its founding in the 18th century, has had a settlement of Albanians; they were soon joined by Slavs.

 New Balkan Politics > Minorities in Macedonia in the Political and Constitutional Acts: From the 1903 Krushevo Manifest ...
The Krushevo Manifest – the Proclamation to the Turkish people in the Krushevo region – informs the Turks, the Arnauts and the Muslims that the insurrection has been raised against the Ottoman authorities and not against the Turks.
Nevertheless, the Krushevo Manifest, from the aspect of a modern multi-ethnic community, remains as a general historical road sign, normally in the positive direction.
Those politicians and scientists who take the Krushevo Manifest and the ASNOM Declaration in regard to the nationalities as tactical “statements” of the Macedonian political elite in the given historical moments were, and still are, wrong.
