Andrew Rossos

Andrew Rossos is a Macedonian Canadian ٰProfessor Emeritus of History at the University of Toronto.[1]

Biography

Rossos was born in 1941 in the village of Moschochori, Florina, Greece. During the Greek Civil War in 1948, he was evacuated to Czechoslovakia as a refugee child. Rossos attended primary school in Sobotin and Technical School in Prague. In 1958 he moved with the rest of his family to Canada and graduated from high school in Toronto. Rossos earned a bachelor's degree in history at Michigan State University in 1963 and did his postgraduate studies at the University of Stanford, earning his PhD in 1971. Since then he has worked at the University of Toronto and became a professor there in 1982.[2]

At the end of 2008, his book Macedonia and the Macedonians: A History was published. He authored a monograph on Russian foreign policy in the Balkans titled Russia and the Balkans: Inter-Balkan Rivalries and Russian Foreign Policy, 1908-1914. Rossos is an adherent of the views espoused by the national historiography of the Republic of Macedonia,[3] which is highly politicized, because the Macedonian nation-building process has not yet been accomplished.[4]
