Revival and Liberation

Vasil Levski

18 Jul 1837 – 18 Feb 1873

Life

Vasil Ivanov Kunchev was born in Karlovo. Known as Levski, he prepared an uprising against Ottoman rule through local committees. Capture near Kakrina led to interrogation and execution in Sofia. Documents use the old calendar; a commemorative day must not be confused with converting the historical date. Built an internal network of committees. His draft rules provided for shared government. Kept accounts and correspondence for the organisation. The documents show political goals and collective work, without settling every capture dispute.
