ABSTRACT
The Greek Civil War ended in the late summer of 1949 on Grammos and Vitsi mountains in Macedonia. The communists of the Democratic Army of Greece (DAG) were decimated on the mountains by the soldiers of the Greek National Army. The majority of the Greek guerrillas who sought refuge in Yugoslavia, especially in PRM (People's Republic of Macedonia), were also Slav-Macedonians. The first Slav-Macedonian refugees were treated very favourably by the leadership and the people of PRM. The Refugee Union's immediate concern was the political guidance of the political refugees. The thousands of Slav-Macedonians who fled to PRM in waves during the 1940s were warmly received by the local authorities. The great majority of the Slav-Macedonian refugees had no specific aim. It is very interesting to point out that the history written by the self-proclaimed Aegean lobby' was imposed on the historiography of the Federal Yugoslav government.
