Flying Detachment of Jovan Babunski in Suppressing Commit Action of VMRO in 1919

Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of 1919, numerous weaknesses in functioning of the civil and military authorities of the young Kingdom of SCS became visible. After the liberation in 1918, in Macedonia started the work on renovation of the state institutions and authority of the government in general. However, the internal antagonisms of the new state, local differences, religious heterogeneicity and economic and cultural backwardness made the job difficult for the state and at the same time enabled its enemies to renew their work. The fi rst among them to do it was VMRO. Insufficient military and police forces made the authorities to employ flying or Chetnik’s detachments. Detachment of voivode Jovan Babunski very soon justifi ed the given trust by its efficiency, but their repressive methods and anachronous approach to combating the political opponents, which probably had its foundation in time of the Turkish rule, resulted in their suspension and fi nal disbanding. These moves provided rapid solutions for the state which caused deep consequences. Former national heroes, in a conscious or unconscious way, in a new political environment, overnight became villains and criminals what turned their lives into dramas with tragic end.
