A brief study into more common political and propagandist abuses of history (more in the sense of ethnography) by the official, semi-official and influential private persons in Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. What unites the various chapter is the mixture of historical revisionism, current Ancient Macedonia based ethnocentrism among Slavs of FYROM, a very different ethnic group, all of them being instrumental to appropriation of Hellenic history and expansionist policies towards the territorial integrity of Hellenic Republic. In FYROM, the identity theft from the Hellenic history became an all-pervading, politically, socially, pseudo-academically, set of ideas that reformed, in a very crude manner led by VMRO-DPMNE, popular perception of most people into belief that they are historically and linguistically "descendant of ancient Macedonians" via fascist and methodically designed ethnocentrism. This book is not a work of historiography, but rather exposing the lies and fallacies systematically promoted by FYROM in order to make an imprint on Slavic inhabitants of the country, with centuries known as Bulgarian and Serbs, into a paleobalkan group which is "not Slavic, but ancient Macedonian". That "ethno-euphoric", ethnocentric and expansionist ideology is the primary national goal of FYROM high politics. This book is recommended to individuals with solid background on FYR of Macedonia, while it also can be read by students and investigators of expansionist "archaeological nationalism" as an ideology.
