DVA VAŽNA IZVORA O PROUČAVANjU ŽIVOTA I DELA MILIVOJA TRBIĆA (1913–1947)

Abstract

History as an occurrence in the past can be researched if we have the appropriate historical sources available.Archives facilitate the work of historians by organizing and processing archival material. The historical research, almost without exception, begins with consulting and studying archival materials.In the State Archives of the Republic of North Macedonia in Skopje, there are two files relating to Milivoj Trbich, a member of the Ravna Gora Movement.The first file is the Trbich’s dossier, which was compiled by the State Security Service of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia. The dossier was a result of the successfully completed operation of the Administration of State Security to find and arrest Trbich on January 16, 1947. The dossier consists of 56 documents, 11 photographs and two materials with propaganda content of the Ravna Gora Movement in Macedonia. Most of the documents were prepared by the Administration of State Security of the People’s Republic of Macedonia.The second file is the dossier that was created as a result of the conducted court trial against Trbich and against five other persons from June 11 to June 13, 1947. The court trial was held in the District Court in Skopje. This dossier contains 119 documents. The majority of the documents have a judicial content.The two dossiers represent two important sources for the study of the life and work of Trbich.
