Judged for Macedonia (1945–1985)

Judged for Macedonia, 1945–1985 (Судени за Македонија (1945–1985), by Stojan Risteski is a 626-page collection of testimonies, interviews, and court documents about Macedonians prosecuted in socialist Yugoslavia. The accused were often labeled as “pro-Bulgarian,” “VMRO members,” “nationalists,” or “anti-Serbs,” reflecting political repression of diverse identities.

The book combines personal recollections with archival records, highlighting the human cost of trials and the suppression of national expression. It stands as both a historical document and a record of the struggle to preserve Macedonian identity under authoritarian rule.
