News East Review, in its September 25 edition, says the following:

In the present case we have plenty of evidence that the Macedonian organization has found itself on a crossroad. During long years it lay its expectations on an intervention by the Powers, but they refused any help whatsoever, they even noglected to pay any attention to Macedonia. Then a new movement came into existence, a movement that believed there is only hope for help from Russia, a postulate that the Soviet Government was quick to use. It was only Alexandrov that stood in the way of this trend and this is why he was eliminated. We are left to follow the struggle between the communist and anti-communist trends among the Macedonians. This is quite a clear lesson for the West and for the Balkan states. They still deny, with the same enthusiasm as before, that there is such a thing as a Macedonian question, but the Bolsheviks will try to replace it with a Communist question. If the new Yugoslav government has at least a little bit of political sense, it will try to preserve the Macedonian population which has up to now held on its Balkan legacy alone from the corrupting aspirations of the communist tyrants which can easily succeed following the negated right of self-determination.

Under such a title, "Samouprava" writes in its September 27 edition:

A new, macabrous paper of Radic's has been appearing lately in Zagreb under the title of "Zagreb". We can very well understand, from its second edition, what direction this paper is going to follow. There an obituary column is dedicated to Todor Alexandrov. Here is the full text:

"Todor Alexandrov lives no more! He died, probably without even suspecting what clouds had gathered above him. A criminal hand shot to death the man who never had mercy on himself, but deserved the right to live more than anyone else. T. Alexandrov was a living genius and will remain an immortal genius even in death. Noone deserves to live if underestimating his real grandour. They try to make him an imperialist, a militarist, a brigand, but he was neither of these. On the contrary, he lived and worked for his people alone. He fought for the independence of his homeland and died for it. Is this evil? He was a leader of the Macedonian komitadjis, he was a komitadji himself, the proudest of all. He used the arguments of brutal force because he was forced to do it. It is the same brutal force that serves as base of all "peace and order" in the world, in Europe, in the Balkans. Surrounded by imperialists, Alexandrov had to fight, so as not to retreat.

Todor Alexandrov is a peace-lover! He adored peace, he insisted on his pacifism when it was possible, but knew, in the same time, how to defend himself and his people. Todor was an exceptionally intelligent man. He was a man who spoke many languages and led an organization with members working all over the world. Today he is no longer living, but his spirit will remain alive and will breathe with the lungs of every true Bulgar, because Todor was just a Bulgarian and a Slav. We, Croats, will pray for his soul, because if alive, he would be the surest guarantor of the agreement and unity between Bulgars, Croats and all other Southern Slavs. Eternal glory to Todor Alexandrov!

September 29, the Journal des debats published an article by Alfred Mousset in which, among others, we read:

Todor Alexandrov is a strange and fearsome person, who died in a rather romantic way, in weird circumstances, without anyone knowing the real reasons for his death...
... Alexandrov played a major role in the coup d'etat of June 9 and that is why Tsankov's government could not get rid of his person and his despotism. An agreement was signed lately between the Communists uin Russia and the Macedonian revolutionaries. Alexandrov refused to follow the movement because this way he would confront Tsankov. Two separate Macedonian revolutionary movements appeared.

The Athenian daily Elephterion Vima wrote on September 24:

Informations from Bulgaria testify that the recently killed archkomitadji Alexandrov is going to serve the government of Tsankov as a holy national symbol. We had no reasons to doubt this. The real strongman behind the present-day government in Bulgaria was the assassinated Alexandrov.
