History

The People's Republic of Macedonia was officially created on August 2, 1944, at the first ASNOM meeting. This date is now celebrated by the ethnic Macedonians as the day when they were allowed for the first time in history to freely state their nationality.

One of the notable victims of these purges was the first president, Metodija Andonov Čento.
