Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis” is actually a story about undesired identity. “One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin.” The fate of Gregor Samsa vividly represents the fate of the Bulgarians in the so-called “Republic of North Macedonia” who have been dehumanized, unpersoned and finally transformed into Unbulgarians. The main feature of the so-called Macedonian identity is being Unbulgarian. In the original German-language text Franz Kafka makes use of the word “Ungeziefer” which could be translated either as “insect” or, more strongly, as “pest” or “vermin”. In this context, “Macedonization” could be defined as hatred of one’s own identity. It is a specific form of pathological and intense ethno-masochism. Present-day Macedonia is not simply a fake nation, it is a nation of Unbulgarians, creatures of undesired identity. Having lost their original identity, just like Gregor Samsa the Unbulgarians of Macedonia are bound to perish.
