Adriani
The events in Adriani developed in a fictional way: the then young Niki Tassiou or Tassos received an order from the village party organization to organize a dance at her house and to invite the Bulgarian gendarmes and the also Bulgarian guard of the railway station. On the evening of September 28, guerrillas came to arrest them, but they were young and inexperienced, and the Bulgarian gendarmes opened fire. And while a battle began around the house, some of the guerrillas captured the Bulgarian village president, Ilia Sarkov, and killed him. The guerrillas tried to burn the house and killed the Bulgarians except for a gendarme from Chorista, who escaped with minor injuries. Another group attacked the Adriani railway station. Within a few hours, the guerrillas had imposed themselves on Adriani and Bulgarian rule had been abolished.
The main perpetrators of the events in Adriani are, among others, the brothers Vasilis and Periklis Samaras - of whom the former was injured during the clash -, Christos and Dimitris Kasapis, Periklis Hadjikyriakos, Christos Moschos (Kandilanaftis), Yiannis Partalis, Stergios Patros and Georgios Gemenetzis, who was injured in the battle of Ovatzik (Drymotopos) on October 30, 1941.
