Dimitar Miladinov and Konstantin Miladinov

Dimitar Miladinov (1810-1862) and his brother Konstantin (1830-1862), born in Struga in Ottoman Macedonia, were schoolteachers and travelled from village to village to record songs. Their collection appeared in Zagreb in 1861 thanks to a Croatian bishop. Dimitar, denounced by the Greek clergy, was arrested the same year; Konstantin, who had come to Constantinople to obtain his release, was arrested in turn. They both died in prison, a few days apart, early in the following year.
