- Abstract
The failure of the Ilinden Uprising in the summer and autumn of 1903 caused severe ideological and organizational and institutional crisis in the IMARO. The established after the suppression of the rebellion atmosphere of elemental reform generated centrifugal irreversible processes, which naturally led to the establishment of different often opposing factions and groups within the Organization. In general terms the ideological contradictions in the internal organization, during the period, can be identified with the two main currents in it, holding its own relatively recognizable programs - moderate and reformist (left). The process of their formation was very dynamic and variable, and categorical distinction is largely arbitrary. Along with the two main currents, there were also many other smaller factions in the formation of which the leading considerations were not so much ideological as tactical. The most significant events of this type were Saraphism (to 1907), and during the Young Turks regime - the existed almost a year Bulgarian Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization (BMARO). The division was not fully resolved until the beginning of the Balkan war. What unites all ideological currents and groups in IMRO is the fact that they strongly identified themselves with Bulgarian nationality and acted with the consciousness that they defended the interests of the Bulgarian population in the Ottoman Empire.
