Ubavo Makedonsko selo Rakovo.

[@osirisblue9415]

whsts the original name of this village and why didn't you mention it.

[@banitsaboy144]

The original name of this village is rako/rakavo!dating back to the early 1300’s!it’s all there in the ottoman archives!all village and town names in macedonia greece were changed by the Greek government between 1926-1938!

[@sirbobloblaws]

@@banitsaboy144 The Patriarchist Greeks of Rakovo/Kratero were terrorized by the Bulgarians of Banitsa multiple times to try and convert them into Bulgarian Exarchists but resisted and ultimately were victorious in the Greek-Bulgarian struggle a century ago. That's your real history.

[@kcc7966]

@@sirbobloblaws Ask any of the descendants of these villages, NO ONE will say that they have Bulgarian heritage. There were no Bulgarians in these villages. It was a Macedonian-Turkish struggle, and then a Macedonian-Greek issue as Macedonians weren't even allowed to speak in their own language under Metaxas. The Greek history contradicts itself. It calls the Macedonian speaking inhabitants Bulgars and then calls them slav Macedonians in the 1940's...

[@sirbobloblaws]

@@kcc7966 Are you for real? The early 20th century Exarchate immigrants from these villages to America ALL called themselves Bulgarians. They established Bulgarian cultural associations and newspapers, built Bulgarian churches, and founded the very pro-Bulgarian Macedonian Patriotic organization in 1922. I'm related to some of these people through my mother, and they still call themselves Bulgarians. Amazing that you are that ignorant of your own history.

[@charmaigneandjohnlovetotravel]

My father-in-law does not call himself Bulgarian, or anyone else who I personally know from THIS particular village of Kratero. It may be different in other villages in the area, I'm unsure.

Πολύ ωραίο χωριό το Κρατερό και ΙΣΤΟΡΙΚΟ με τους αγώνες που έδωσε υπέρ Πίστεως και Πατρίδος!!!!!!

[@johnpanopouloscharmaignele8731]

The title of the music is called Ariadne by Lisa Gerrard, Brendan Perry. In Greek mythology, Ariadne "Mistress of the Labyrinth" is the daughter of Pasiphae and the Cretan king Minos. She fell in love with the Athenian hero Theseus and, with a thread or glittering jewels, helped him escape the Labyrinth after he slew the Minotaur, a beast half bull and half man that Minos kept in the Labyrinth. I hope this video encourages you to follow your thread and visit this charming village with its peaceful surroundings. You will experience simple sounds of flowing water, fresh mountain air as you walk about the village and trails through the meadows and forest. It all seems to generate a symboitic frequencey that somehow harmonises and balances peace in the soul. We hope you enjoy this video. Welcome to Kratero.

where did they go? First they were Bulgarians and 50,000 went back to Bulgaria per the population exchange with the Treaty of Neuilly in 1919....after 1919 the became Hellenized Bulgarians,,,,after the Greek Civil War the Greek Communist Party (KKE) took them to eastern european countries....that's where they went....you have a shared history with Bulgaria until 1945....100,000 North Macedonians have lined up on Zlatko Schnader taken their ethnicity oath and received their Bulgarian passport...your leaders have admitted they are Bulgarian...but here you are pretending the earth is flat
