Razlovci uprising
The Razlovci uprising was a Bulgarian rebellion in the areas of Maleševo and Pijanec in Ottoman Macedonia, part of the April Uprising of 1876.
The work on its preparation began in late 1875 in Thessaloniki. A revolutionary group was created there, that took a decision to organize an anti-Ottoman insurrection. This group consisted of activists of the Association "Bulgarian Dawn". The leader of the group was Dimitar Popgeorgiev - Berovski. In March 1876,, a member of the Bulgarian Revolutionary Central Committee, met with the conspirators in Thessaloniki. He informed them of the preparations for the April Uprising, which was scheduled to break out in May.
The preparations for the rebellion began in late 1875 in the village of Razlovci, guided by Dimitar Berovski and Stoyan Razlovski. Nedelya Petkova and her daughter sewed the flag of the uprising. It was planned that the rebellion would cover Maleševo, Radoviš, Strumica, Petrich, Melnik and later the Osogovo. Due to betrayal, the planned for May Bulgarian uprising, broke out in late April and therefore it was subsequently called the April Uprising.
After its outbreak, a number of arrests were made by the Ottoman authorities in Razlovci area. Because of this, the revolt broke out prematurely on May 7, in Razlovci. Two revolutionary bands of about 60 people got the village for a short time, and then the rebellion spread in Malеševo and Pijanec. However, the revolt was suppressed, and many of the rebels were killed or arrested. The survivors escaped into the Maleševo Mountains, but no further action was possible.
According to Macedonian historians, the uprising had national and political goals - to intensify and turn the attention of European powers to bring diplomatic intervention on Macedonia's behalf. Per academic Blaže Ristovski, the uprising had a Macedonian national-liberation character and was connected with April Uprising and Herzegovina Uprising and some of the Great Powers.
