Wendell, Herman (1884-1936) – German writer, publicist and politician; Multi-annual People’s MP in German Parliament (Rakhistag), a connoisseur of the situation of the Slavic south, who through numerous articles in the press and in separate books (1916-1936) is rich analytical views for the peoples of the Balkans, and among them for Macedonians. Herman Vendell is shown as a protector of Macedonia and her right to sovereign life at a time when fascism comes to the European political scene. He defends the self-assessment of the Macedonian Slavs from the positions of German Social Democrat. It fiercely condemns the Bulgarian appropriation of Macedonia and launches a sharp controversy with the new Macedonian Zwić. In the articles, mainly for the phenomenon of the Macedonian Slavs, which Vendell believes are a self-eligible Slavic nation, it falls its broader information about the Macedonian conditions and a solid knowledge of the already existing literature on the Macedonian issue.
