The Kruševo Manifesto is a presumable

Macedonian historiography refers to a text that was compiled about twenty years after the events. It was published in 1923 by Nikola Kirov in Sofia in his native dialect, as part from a play.[5] In fact at the turn of the 20th century there were only a few researchers who claimed that a separate Macedonian language existed.[6] Though, Macedonian historians object to Kirov's classification of then Krusevo's Slavic population as Bulgarian.[7]

Hupchick states that "the obviously plagiarized historical argument of the Macedonian nationalists for a separate Macedonian ethnicity could be supported only by linguistic reality, and that worked against them until the 1940s. Until a modern Macedonian literary language was mandated by the communist-led partisan movement from Macedonia in 1944, most outside observers and linguists agreed with the Bulgarians in considering the vernacular spoken by the Macedonian Slavs as a western dialect of Bulgarian".
