Damyan Yovanov Gruev or Damjan Jovanov Gruev, often known by his short name Dame Gruev, (January 19, 1871, Smilevo, present-day Republic of Macedonia - December 10, 1906 near Petlec peak in Maleshevo, present-day Republic of Macedonia) was an insurgent leader in Ottoman Macedonia and Thrace. He was among the founders of the Bulgarian Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Committees. The mainstream scholarship regards him as a Bulgarian and the Macedonian scholars as Macedonian revolutionary.
Dame Gruev was born in 1871 in the village of Smilevo, Ottoman Macedonia (present-day district of Bitola, Demir Hisar Municipality, Republic of Macedonia). He received his elementary education in Smilevo and continued his education in the Bulgarian Men's High School of Thessaloniki. After a student revolt Gruev, with a group of his comrades, were excluded from the school. In the early 1888, the group, consisting of 19 people, including other future IMRO-revolutionaries was attracted by the Serbian propaganda. As result they went to study in a Serbian Gymnazium in Belgrade at expense of the St. Sava Association. Later Gruev continued his education in the Great School in Belgrade. There he, and his comrades were put under a strong pressure to serbianize them and they rebelled again. As a consequence, all they were excluded from the Great School and emigrated am block to Bulgaria. Here Gruev began to study history at the Sofia University and afterwards enrolled in the Young Macedonian Literary Society. He found also the circle "Druzhba", whose aim was to implement "Article 23" from the Treaty of Berlin (1878) on authonomy of Macedonia. In 1891 Gruev was expelled from the University as he was suspected in the assassination of the Minister Hristo Belchev, but subsequently this allegations turned groundless.
