Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the legal Macedonian societies existing in Burgas, in the period from the end of the First to the end of the Second World War, and more precisely from the establishment of the first Macedonian society in 1921 to 1946 when those societies took full control of the Bulgarian Communist Party. The aim is to search for and shed light on the names of the leading figures of the Macedonian societies in Burgas. An interesting aspect of the study is to reveal the fact that Burgas Macedonian societies, although legal, acted in full synchrony with the illegal IMRO and supported it morally and materially. The topic is completely unexplored as there have been no publications on it, neither in the press nor in scientific journals. Thedata for the research are taken from the State Archives – Burgas, where a lot of documents on the topic are kept in the fund of the three main Macedonian societies. Data from the funds of the Burgas Macedonian-Edirne Volunteer Association and the Regional Police Inspectorate have also been used.
