Teodosij Gologanov

Teodosij Gologanov was a prominent Macedonian bishop and a key figure in the movement for Macedonian ecclesiastical autonomy during the 19th century. He is best known for his opposition to the Bulgarian Exarchate and for advocating the establishment of a separate Macedonian church, which led to his persecution and vilification by various propaganda efforts. His legacy continues to influence discussions around national identity and religious independence in Macedonia.
