Revision as of 16:43, 12 January 2019 by Jingiby (talk | contribs) (Clarification)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Atanas Badev (Cyrillic: Атанас Бадев) (January 1860 – 21 September 1908) was a Bulgarian composer and music teacher. Per negationist Macedonian historiography he was an ethnic Macedonian.
Badev was born in Prilep, Ottoman Empire, present day Republic of Macedonia. His family sent him to study at the Bulgarian Gymnasium of Thessaloniki, but he graduated from his secondary education in 1884 at the First Male High School of Sofia. After the Bulgarian unification of 1885, Badev denounced the actions of the Bulgarian Secret Central Revolutionary Committee as premature because he believed that Macedonia should first join to Eastern Rumelia, and then to think of their common unification with the Principality of Bulgaria. Initially he studied Mathematics at the University of Odessa. He studied later music in Moscow and St. Petersburg and was taught by, to mention a few, the great Russian composers Balakirev and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Apart from his choral adaptations of folk and children's songs, Badev is also the composer of The Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom (first published in Leipzig in 1898), one of the most significant works of this genre from the end of the 19th century. He taught at different Bulgarian schools. From 1890-1891, then, in 1896, he worked as a music teacher in Thessaloniki, in 1892 in Bitola, in 1897-1898 in Ruse, in 1899 in Samokov, and from 1901 to his death in Kyustendil. He died in 1908 in Kyustendil, Bulgaria.
His son, Petar, died during the First World War at the Macedonian front as Bulgarian army officer from the 8th Infantry Regiment.

- The origins of the official Macedonian national narrative are to be sought in the establishment in 1944 of the Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. This open acknowledgment of the Macedonian national identity led to the creation of a revisionist historiography whose goal has been to affirm the existence of the Macedonian nation through the history. Macedonian historiography is revising a considerable part of ancient, medieval, and modern histories of the Balkans. Its goal is to claim for the Macedonian peoples a considerable part of what the Greeks consider Greek history and the Bulgarians Bulgarian history. The claim is that most of the Slavic population of Macedonia in the 19th and first half of the 20th century was ethnic Macedonian.

- Yugoslav Communists recognized the existence of a Macedonian nationality during WWII to quiet fears of the Macedonian population that a communist Yugoslavia would continue to follow the former Yugoslav policy of forced Serbianization. Hence, for them to recognize the inhabitants of Macedonia as Bulgarians would be tantamount to admitting that they should be part of the Bulgarian state. For that the Yugoslav Communists were most anxious to mold Macedonian history to fit their conception of Macedonian consciousness. The treatment of Macedonian history in Communist Yugoslavia had the same primary goal as the creation of the Macedonian language: to de-Bulgarize the Macedonian Slavs and to create a separate national consciousness that would inspire identification with Yugoslavia.

- ..."Съединението обаче на Източна Румелия с Княжество България, чийто главни двигатели бяха същевременно и ръководители на Пловдивското Македонско дружество, предизвика един разрив между учащата се младеж в София. Някои младежи, начело с Атанас Бадев, осъждаха Пловдивското Македонско дружество, както и самото Съединение и мислеха, че Македония трябва да се присъедини първо към Източна Румелия и после да се мисли за Съединението с България."...Д-р Христо Татарчев, Македонския въпрос, България, Балканите и Общността на Народите, Съставители - Цочо Билярски, Валентин Радев (Унив.
