RUSSIA IS TO POLAND WHAT TURKEY IS TO SOUTH SLAVS [66]
why no[quote=Sasha]and didn't really notice the difference in behaviour between them and other Balkan people.
Yes,Greeks,Serbs,Bulgarians are not very far in mentality.However constant occupation with trading and sea all over has given us some greater flexibility and cosmopolitan influence.
I separate Shriptars from other balkan folks because they origin from Caucasus and were living for centuries isolated in mountains so they developed a totally different mentality very distinct.
Macedonians were not ethnic Greaks. It was separate, non-Hellenic ethos
They actually spoke greek,had greek names,greek religion and considered themselves greek.They were however more primitive than Athenians of course,they had kings and did not resist persian invasion.Ancient Macedonians were Dorians like Spartans.Dorians were distinctly more primitive and military folks than the more artistic Ionians in Athens and islands.
Slavs/Proto Slavs
Slavs were probably the Skythes who are described by greek historians with customs and appearance resembling Slavs.Skythes also blocked the persian invasion and destroyed persian army in Danube.
to whom belong then?
It is very complicated issue.Macedonia is a big district which belongs partly to Greece,partly to Bulgaria,partly to Fyrom.All the inhabitants of this district can be called Macedonians.
Macedonia is greek word,it means (makos=length) land inhabited by tall men because ancient Macedonians are described as being very tall.These folks mixed later with Slavs.
why not?
Bulgaria
Because Greater Bulgaria will be a pain in the ass,do not forget history.
