268 Elena Alexandrova holds a PhD in history and works as a curator at the Re- gional Museum of History, Blagoevgrad. This monograph is based on the disserta- tion bearing the same title, which the au- thor successfully defended in 2019 before a scientific jury. On the recommendation of the jury and the supervisor, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Stefan Detchev, Elena Alexan- drova enriched some of the paragraphs of the text with new facts, extended the scholarly apparatus and structured the book as a monograph. The work was published by IVRAY Publishing House in 2020 in a genre-appropriate printing form and in a circulation that ensures its proper distribution. In itself, the topic of the study is placed on the borders of two scientific fields – political history and sociology. This is a difficult starting point for a historian‘s first monographic study, but Elena Alexandrova has successfully over- come the mentioned methodological chal- lenge. Building on the wide knowledge of the activities of the Internal Macedonian- Adrianople Revolutionary Organization (IMARO), accumulated in Bulgarian his- toriography in the last century, the author applies a specific and innovative analysis of the dramatic events that marked the in- itiatives of the influential radical national liberation organization, which acted in parts of the territory of Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace 1 as a paramilitary, and in some respects as a parastate structure. The monograph is based on factual material, drawn from various and rich in information sources – archives, periodi- cals, documentary publications, interpre- tative works. The author has capably ana- lyzed data from field research of museum specialists from previous generations and has used diverse sources. Data from con- temporary multilingual scientific texts are brought in, including those created in Greek and Turkish, and then translated into English or French. Thus, the main analytical fields related to the interpreta- tions of the non-consensual (with regards to the Balkans) topics for the national lib- eration movement are presented in its in- herent discussion context. The scholarly apparatus is presented punctually and ex- haustively. My main note on the structur- ing of the bibliography at the end of the 1 Here, as in Elena Alexandrova’s book, by Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace are understood the lands in the respective geo- graphical areas inhabited by Bulgarians that were left outside the Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia after the signing of the Berlin Peace Treaty on July 1 (13), 1878.
