Rizov was a teacher in his hometown of
Veles. He was a member of the district committee of the
IMARO. In 1904 he was shot by a member of the
Supreme Macedonian-Adrianople Committee. . During the
Balkan Wars, he and other former IMARO revolutionaries, such as
Petar Poparsov and
Alekso Martulkov, met with
Dimitrija Čupovski, who proposed to send a delegation to
London conference, which would demand autonomy for
Macedonia. Rizov went to
Thessaloniki with the hope of gaining the support of the IMARO. He met with
Pavel Shatev and
Yordan Ivanov, who rejected this idea. On 9 March 1919, while in
Sofia, he signed the "Appeal to the Macedonian population and to the émigré population in Bulgaria", issued by the
Provisional representation of the former United Internal Revolutionary Organization. In 1925, alongside other IMRO members, Rizov participated in
Vienna in the founding conference of
IMRO (United). He became a member of the Central Committee of the organization. At the end of 1930, due to illness, he left
Vienna and went to the
Soviet Union. In 1945, he moved to the newly found Yugoslav
People's Republic of Macedonia, where he died in 1950. == Sources ==
