It uses the concept of borderlands, more precisely imperial borderlands that is territories which are considered as spaces-in-between with malleable identities which are often disputed and in general difficult to control. It analyses situation in all three countries such as: first usages of paramilitaries in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and controversies that occurred; how IMRO adjusted to new circumstances and continued with its operation; how new agrarian regime in Bulgaria, overwhelmed with challenges and dysfunctional state and its institutions was forced to create its own paramilitary formation—Orange Guard and which in practical terms represented discontinuity with Balkan paramilitary traditions; and what was the role of the Albanian irregulars during the turbulent post-war quest for stability in that country taking in mind specific features Albanian society. It also questions if Albanian irregulars as such can be determined as paramilitaries as their contemporary counterparts. Finally it presents what was the role and place of Serbian chetniks in their post-Black Hand years, that is, in period when, after the annihilation of the secret organization Unification or Death aka the Black Hand, the organization that had strong influence on their organization and usage, they became one of many veterans’ associations. It also analyses the place of the Toplica Uprising in 1917 as one of the most important determinants of chetniks identity and ethos.","PeriodicalId":431003,"journal":{"name":"Paramilitarism in the Balkans","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126360913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although in Yugoslavia it had slowly moved towards the commemorations, in Bulgaria ban of IMRO after the 1934 shattered its structures, and in Albania paramilitarism was neutralized through militarization, already during the Second World War it went through its first resurgence. Many paramilitary groups appeared claiming to rely on rich traditions of paramilitary organizing. After the war rich tradition and experience in guerrilla warfare made it possible for many anti-communist individuals and groups to try to resist rapid sovietisation of their respective countries. Finally, during the violent dissolution of Yugoslavia during 1990’s many paramilitary groups tried to appeal to senses of common people and evoke legacies of paramilitary organization of the past. Although they claimed to be heirs of paramilitaries from the time of Macedonian struggle 1903–1908, Balkan Wars and First World War, their ethos, behavioural patterns, and language made them very different. Their appearance was the only thing they had in common. Needless to say how majority of the perpetrators of war crimes during the Yugoslav wars were actually members of various paramilitary organizations.","PeriodicalId":431003,"journal":{"name":"Paramilitarism in the Balkans","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134628173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
