The Macedonian Scientific and Literary Society was a society of Slavic-speaking Macedonians in Russia. It's aim was the creation of an independent state encompassing the region of Macedonia. One of its founders was Dimitrija Chupovski who was its president from 1902 to 1917.
The Macedonian Literary and Scientific Society was the most prominent society of its type in its time. It was established in St. Petersburg on 28th October 1902 and was presided over by Dimitrija Chupovski. It expanded, establishing branches in Sofia (1903) and Odessa (1905), as well as in Bitola and Thessaloniki (1910-13). As part of its scholary and literary activities, the society proclaimed a "Macedonian language" as its official language in Article 12 of its Constitution adopted on 16th December 1903.
It published the first book in a modern Macedonian literary language (Za Makedonskite Raboti - On Macedonian Matters) in 1903. In 1905 it published Vardar, the first scholarly, scientific and literary journal in that language, while in 1913 it produced the first map of Macedonia. In addition it published the most renown journal in its Macedonian and Russian "Makedonskye golos" (Macedonian Voice) (1913-14). It designed a "Macedonian flag" (1914) and prepared and published the Programme for a Democratic and Federative Balkan Republic (1917).
For these reasons this scholarly institution with its rich literary and national cultural activity can be considered the foundation upon which the history of the Macedonian Academy was built.
Krste Misirkov was affiliated to the society.
