Alexandroff and Schankeff formed, with General Protogerov, a triumvirate heading the Macedonian revolutionary movement. Last Spring Schankeff.' realizing the futility of the movement to wrest Macedonia from Yugoslavia against the desire of the great powers, seceded from the triumvirate and started a Federalist movement, aiming at transforming all the Balkans into a confed-eration on the Swiss model, and thus solving the problem of intermingled races. For this program it is said Schankeff obtained the financial and moral support of the Third International of Moscow.
