Lol, if telling the truth makes me a nationalist, then yes, I will proudly choose to be one!!!
"Until the day that an ancient inscription will be found with the name "Alexandrovski" written on it instead of "Alexander", true Macedonia and true Macedonians will remain Greek, as they always were."

Onomastics and cold war politics
It was the late Marshall Tito who added -ski endings to Bulgarian surnames in the region of today's FYROM, so as to generate a "macedonian" nationality (distinct from the Bulgarian) to serve his geopolitical priorities. As I understand, most "macedonians" in FYROM whose surname ends with -ski have Bulgarian great-grandparents whose surnames ended with -ev or -ov.
So Kassios, the chances you find a pre-1940s inscription with "Alexandrovski" are practically zero. As good sports, we should be on the outlook for Alexandrevs or Alexandrovs :P
