So, you are telling me that the "prescripts" have been published in 
Bulgaria, that they "tell the same story" as in the translated (english) 
article and that the general poplation in Bulgaria is aware that the 
Macedonians fought for their own sovereign state in the period when
Bulgaria 
was still a Russian protectorate?

I'll give you one guess as to what (who) was the main cause for the
failure 
of the rebellion, which was very successful in the initial months. The 
answer starts with B :-(
