Abstract

The aim of this text is to re-examine the ethnic origin of the Macedonians, the Macedonians’ relation to the character of Alexander the Macedonian in national memory and literary, artistic and scientific literature, in order to get the current picture of Macedonian reality based on the “re-examination of the past”. The author of the text takes the view that Macedonians are of Slavic origin, that their ethno-genesis has elements of all other civilizations which inhabited these areas, including the Ancient Macedonians. Analyzing the political present of Macedonia, the author expresses his views and reflects on
its future.
