Dimche Sarvanov

Who was Dimche Sarvanov?

Dimche Sarvanov, also Dimče Mogilčeto, was a revolutionary and a member of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization.

Sarvanov was born in Mogila in 1879. He joined Georgi Sugarev's group within IMRO, and fought against Ottoman rule in the Bitola and Mariovo districts. During the Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising, Sarvanov fought in the Pelister and Prespa districts. After the death of Sugarev, Sarvanov continued fighting "Greek propaganda".

On January 4, 1908 Sarvanov fell into an Ottoman ambush in the village of Noshpal, and rather than allowing himself to fall into Turkish hands, committed suicide.

Sarvanov was also known as Dimche Mogilcheto or Dimche Sarvanov Mogilcheto. His first name is also sometimes given as Dimko.
