Zinzifov (Жинзифов) Rajko
(1838—1877)

Rajko Zinzifov is outstanding Bulgarian-Macedonian man of letters from the time of the Revival. He is known for his epic "The Bloody Shirt", which presents a moving picture of the life of Macedonians, and the epic "The Fiddle Player at the Gathering of the People". Rajko Zinzifov is also known for his work as a journalist in Russia, where he strove to spread the truth about Macedonia and its liberation. This work places him among the greatest Macedonian journalists. Not only were the belles-letters of the Revival writers important from the artistic and aesthetic standpoints, but this writing also proved to be very important and functional in giving definite shape to the Macedonian written language and in stressing the need for it to become a literary language.
