Gesetz zum Schutz der mazedonischen nationalen Ehre

Statut des Gerichts, veröffentlicht in der Zeitung Nova Makedonija, Nr. 28, vom 3. Januar 1945

Das Gesetz zum Schutz der mazedonischen nationalen Ehre (mazedonisch Закон за заштита на македонската национална чест) war ein Ende 1944 von der Regierung der Sozialistischen Republik Mazedonien (kurz SR Mazedonien) verabschiedetes Gesetz. Das Präsidium der Antifaschistischen Versammlung für die Nationale Befreiung Mazedoniens (ASNOM) richtete ein Sondergericht zur Durchführung dieses Gesetzes ein, das am 3. Januar 1945 in Kraft trat.[1][2][3][4] Dieser Beschluss wurde auf der zweiten Sitzung dieser Versammlung vom 28. bis 31. Dezember 1944 gefasst.[5] Dem Gesetz folgten die Ereignisse um das Blutige Weihnachten (1945).

Das Tribunal sollte die Kollaborateure der bulgarischen Besatzer, die den mazedonischen Nationalnamen und die mazedonische Nationalehre niedergelegt haben, verurteilen. Diese Maßnahmen gelten als Teil des Versuchs, eine ethnische und politische mazedonische Identität vom benachbarten Bulgarien und der historischen bulgarischen Gemeinschaft des Osmanischen Reiches zu unterscheiden, zu der beide gehörten. Zudem beschleunigte dieses Gesetz den Prozess der Nationenbildung im damaligen jugoslawischen Mazedonien.[6][7]

Geschichte

Hintergrund

Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs annektierte Bulgarien die jugoslawische Banschaft Vardar, die den größten Teil des heutigen Nordmazedonien umfasst. Die Bulgaren wurden von den meisten Einheimischen als Befreier von der serbischen Herrschaft begrüßt und feierlich empfangen, da damals die probulgarischen Gefühle dominierten.[8][9][10][11][12] Nachdem Bulgarien sich auf die Seite der Achsenmächte gestellt hatte, verlor es den Krieg, und die letzten bulgarischen Truppen zogen sich im November 1944 aus der Region zurück. Am Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs waren im jugoslawischen Mazedonien die mazedonischen Nationalgefühle bereits reif, obwohl es nicht klar ist, inwieweit sich die mazedonischen Slawen von den Bulgaren unterscheiden.[13][14][15][16][17] Um die verbliebenen bulgarophilen Gefühle auszulöschen, ergriffen die neuen kommunistischen Behörden schwere Maßnahmen und Repressalien. Die Aufgabe bestand auch darin, alle Organisationen aufzulösen, die sich der Jugoslawien-Idee widersetzten.

Zweck

Der Zweck des Gesetzes bestand darin, die neue mazedonische Nation von Bulgarien zu unterscheiden, da die Differenzierung von Bulgaren als Bestätigung dafür angesehen wurde, dass die Mazedonier eine separate ethnische Gemeinschaft waren. Im jugoslawischen Mazedonien war es den Einheimischen verboten, die bulgarische Identität offen zu verkünden. Ebenso wurde die Verwendung der bulgarischen Standardsprache verboten.[18] Laut Dejan Djokić war es erst nach 1944 in der Region Strumica erlaubt, sich zur bulgarischen Identität zu bekennen.[19] Das Gebiet um Strumica war Teil der sogenannten bulgarischen Westgebiete,[20] die bis 1919 zu Bulgarien gehörten.[21] Allerdings durften sich laut Georgi Fotew nur Migranten aus dem serbischen Teil der Westgebiete als Bulgaren erklären.[22] In der Zeit zwischen 1945 und 1991, als Nordmazedonien zu Jugoslawien gehörte, gab es eine Migration der bulgarischen Bevölkerung aus der SR Serbien in die SR Mazedonien,[23] die nach inoffiziellen Schätzungen auf 20.000 betrug.[24]

Implementierung und Funktion

Am 3. Januar 1945 veröffentlichte die offizielle kommunistische Zeitung Nova Makedonija das neu verabschiedete Gesetz über den Prozess der Verbrechen gegen die mazedonische Nationalehre.[25] Das Gesetz sah eine Reihe von Sanktionen vor: Entzug der bürgerlichen Rechte, Freiheitsstrafe mit Zwangsarbeit, Einziehung von Eigentum und in Fällen, in denen die Angeklagten zum Tode verurteilt werden könnten, war vorgesehen, sie an einen "zuständiges Gericht".[26] Das Gesetz gilt auch für Gebiete, die von Italien und Albanien besetzt wurden. Das Gesetz ist ein Präzedenzfall in der europäischen Rechtsgeschichte, da eine solche Gesetzgebung auch in der Volksrepublik Slowenien, die während des Krieges einer erzwungenen Italianisierung und Germanisierung unterzogen wurde, nicht erlassen wurde. Auch die mazedonischen Serben wurden nicht vor Gericht gestellt, obwohl einige von ihnen mit den Achsenmächten kooperierten. Führer der mazedonischen Kommunistischen Partei, die sich in der einen oder anderen Kriegsperiode als Bulgaren erklärten, wie Lazar Koliševski,[27] Mihajlo Apostolski,[28] Blaže Koneski, Lazar Mojsov[29] und andere wurden nicht strafrechtlich verfolgt.

Auswirkung

Das Gesetz ermöglichte die Verurteilung jugoslawischer Bürger aus der SR Mazedonien wegen der Zusammenarbeit mit den bulgarischen Behörden im Zweiten Weltkrieg, die das mazedonische Territorium des Königreichs Jugoslawien als eine der Achsenmächte besetzt hatten, wegen probulgarischer Sympathien und wegen der Ablehnung der neuen mazedonischen Nationenbildung.[30][31]

Dies wurde als Anfechtung des Status Mazedoniens als Teil der neukommunistischen Sozialistischen Föderativen Republik Jugoslawien und als Kampf für die von der Inneren Mazedonischen Revolutionären Organisation (IMRO) angestrebte Konzeption eines unabhängigen Mazedoniens angesehen.[32][33] Etwa 100.000 probulgarische Mazedonier wurden wegen Gesetzesverstößen inhaftiert und Anfang 1945 über 1.260 von ihnen getötet.[34][35] Dabei handelte es sich eher um öffentlichkeitswirksame Schauprozesse, als um der Gerechtigkeit verpflichtet zu sein.[36] Während gelegentliche Versuche während des gesamten Zeitraums weiterhin das Gesetz in Kraft war, nahm der Großteil von ihnen in den späten 1940er Jahren statt.[37] Das Gesetz beeinflusste neue Generationen, um mit starken antibulgarischen Gefühlen aufzuwachsen,[38] die auf die Ebene der Staatspolitik stiegen.[39][40] Einige Opfer waren Aktivisten, die versuchten, die Idee eines unabhängigen Mazedoniens, möglicherweise beeinflusst von bulgarophilen Neigungen, auf unterschiedliche Weise zu verwirklichen. Dazu gehörten Metodija Andonov-Čento,[41] Spiro Kitintschew, Dimitar Gjuzelow und Dimitar Tschkatrow.[42][43]

Neuzeit

Aufgrund der uneinheitlichen und verwirrenden rechtlichen Regelung dieses Gesetzes ist bis zu seinem Inkrafttreten nicht ganz klar, wie lange es wirklich in Kraft war. Obwohl einige Forscher glauben, dass es bis 1991 in Kraft blieb, als das heutige Nordmazedonien die Unabhängigkeit vom ehemaligen Jugoslawien erlangte,[44][45][46] einer juristischen Analyse mazedonischer Nichtregierungsaktivisten zufolge ist es viel wahrscheinlicher, dass es im Februar 1948 abgeschafft wurde.[47] Dieses Volk, das an seiner bulgarischen Identität festhielt, stieß bei den Behörden und der übrigen Bevölkerung auf große Feindseligkeit. Durch die starken Repressionen in der Zeit des Kalten Kriegs und den während Titos Regierungszeit verbreiteten behördlichen Hass wurden antibulgarische Ressentiments ein wichtiger Bestandteil des mazedonischen Nationalismus.[48] Auf diese Weise ist im Laufe der Zeit die bulgarische Komponente der ethnischen Identität der slawischsprachigen Bevölkerung in Vardar-Mazedonien verschwunden.[49][50] Laut dem bulgarischen Europaabgeordneten Andrej Kowatschew ist es ein Schlag gegen das Konzept einer mazedonischen Nation, ein Bulgare in Nordmazedonien zu sein. Seiner Meinung nach herrscht immer noch Schweigen über eine Reihe von antibulgarischen historischen Ereignissen, einschließlich dieses Gesetzes.[51]

During these highly publicized trials, with Lazar Mojsov acting as the public prosecutor, many real (or imaginary) collaborators and pro-Bulgarians were sentenced to death for having betrayed their motherland. These parodies of justice, however, caused very soon a considerable amount of dissatisfaction in Macedonia. In August 1945,Pavel ˇSatev, then minister of justice, confided to a British official that the courts had to be dissolved; he also felt obliged to acknowledge that the main problem was the lack of ‘properly trained jurists’.

  40. ↑ In Macedonia, post-WWII generations grew up "overdosed" with strong anti-Bulgarian sentiment, leading to the creation of mainly negative stereotypes for Bulgaria and its nation. The anti-Bulgariansim (or Bulgarophobia) increased almost to the level of state ideology during the ideological monopoly of the League of Communists of Macedonia, and still continues to do so today, although with less ferocity... However, it is more important to say openly that a great deal of these anti-Bulgarian sentiments result from the need to distinguish between the Bulgarian and the Macedonian nations. Macedonia could confirm itself as a state with its own past, present and future only through differentiating itself from Bulgaria. Siehe: Mirjana Maleska.

Now, to the "Macedonian court" people are brought under the "Law for the Macedonian honour".

In fact, this official newspaper specifically states that a "Law confirming the decisions and laws adopted before November 4, 1946" is being passed. That in fact means that the abolition of the "Decision to establish a court to try the crimes committed against the Macedonian national honor", although adopted on July 1, 1945, did not enter into force until February 3, 1948.
