A Girl Fights the Turks to Free Macedonia, some time before 1912.

Some background on the Post:

A girl fights the Turks to free Macedonia, Albuquerque evening citizen, September 15, 1905, page 7

“A girl of 26 has enlisted in the Macedonian revolutionary army and is marching through the Macedonian mountains with bands of revolutionists, fighting the Turks with all the energy and fire of a trained soldier. The modern Amazon is Miss Christina Atanova. She is a woman of culture, and was formerly a school teacher in Macedonia. Recently several of her scholars, young children, were bruttaly murdered by a roving band of Turkish soldiers, and Miss Atanova narrowly escaped a worse fate for herself. This incident caused her to give up teaching , and she pledged her life for her country. She enlisted in the insurrectionist corps and has developed into an expert guerilla fighter. Miss Atanova is known to all the revolutionists as the "Mascot of Macedonia" for whenever she is with a band she brings luck. Miss Atanova is a crack shot, and has killed five Turks in small skirmishes besides having participated in several battles.“

Social Policy Minister Dime Spasov said the chemical castration — drugs administered to reduce libido and sexual activity — would be “performed in specialized facilities every six months” for repeat offenders.

Under the bill, first-time offenders could be sentenced to between 15 and 40 years in prison or opt for chemical castration in exchange for reduced punishment.

Russia, Denmark and Poland are among the countries that have introduced chemical castration.

In 2012, Macedonia became the first country in the Balkans to publish an online register of convicted pedophiles, with pictures, names and addresses of those released from jail.

the cut-off heads of Macedonian brigands, 1904, probably members of IMRO or similar organizations. taken from the book The Serbian tragedy, with some impressions of Macedonia, by Herbert Vivian:

The causes and conditions of brigandage are easy to explain. In the days when Turkey ruled the whole Balkan peninsula, any one who had come to loggerheads with the authorities or incurred outlawry joined a band in the inaccessible mountains and forests, where whole regiments found it very difficult to catch them. They subsisted on the (more or less) voluntary contributions of the neighbouring villagers and on any booty which happened to come their way. Meanwhile they carried on a guerilla warfare against the authorities, and in times of popular insurrection there was little or nothing to distinguish rebel leaders from ordinary robbers. Both were known by the name of hajdutsi, and many of them are regarded as national heroes to this day.
