130 Years Since the Liberation of Bulgaria



130 years since the liberation of Bulgaria from Turkish slavery is the theme of the exhibit which opened today at community center “St.st. Cyril and Methodius”, Rakovski.
It covers the period from the creation of the BRCC (Bulgarian Revolutionary Central Committee), through the preparation of the April uprising and ultimately its suppression. On display are some pictures representing the cruel atrocities that occurred in the Bulgarian villages after the suppression of the insurgency and the following actions – the calling of the Istanbul Conference, the explosion of the Russian-Turkish liberation war, the role of Bulgarian volunteers in the war and the dismemberment the Bulgarian lands after the climax of the liberation war.
The exhibition is hung in the lobby of the community center, where there is a display area, and everyone who wishes may visit the exposition.

Happy 3rd of March to everyone!
