Where and when was born Botev? Anyone schooled literate Bulgarian citizen should know the answer to this question - December 25 (old style) 1847 or January 6 (new style) 1848 in the sub-Balkan Kalofer Palanka. The father of Hristo Botev - Botyo Petkov - a native of Karlovo in the period 1840-1869 as a teacher in Kaloferskoto school. In 1846, this undoubtedly highly educated for his time educator and writer married kaloferkata Ivanka Stoykova Dryankov and young family moved in one room of the old church school at the church "St. Mary. " The school no longer exists but there is placed a marble slab with the inscription: "Here lived and teacher Botyo Petkov was born Hristo Botev". Later the teacher moved into the house of his father in law, where his children grew up. The houses were burnt during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, but in 1942 the home of Botyov Dryankov father in law was restored by long-standing written memories of witnesses, which now houses the museum "Hristo Botev". The above data on the birthplace of Hristo Botev was fiercely contested by the public Karlovo in the 30s of the 20th century, mostly through local kraevedi Slavchev N. and N. Nachev, bombastic launched thesis Hristobotevoto birth no where to be and in Karlovo. Considerations are based on very old sandlot memories dealing patriarchal traditions and some ecclesiastical canons. Priority will be argued that Botyo in 1847 actually lived under the roof of the Kalofer church "St. Mary "and according to church canons absolutely unacceptable under any church vault to perform labor. Therefore Botyo supposed mother moved into her father's house in Karlovo, where he was born Christo and his son. After a few days returned to parveskinyata Kalofer. Kontradovodite Kalofer of this epochal question did not suffer from logical reasoning, because what chemer lehusata'll tote Karlovo only in the distant rather than immediately take it to her mother in Kalofer that could help his daughter at birth? In the bitter controversy and Botev joined his brother - then reserve Lieutenant Kiril Botev, who in a letter published in Plovdiv newspaper "Southern Echo" in 1933, wrote inter alia: "My mother was said to many people, journalists , biographers and the children in detail when and where and under what circumstances her first child was born Christo Kalofer in the old school, Christmas, and so was named Christo. "After scratching the languages ​​in this central problem of the place pozatihva and day, go on line just as fierce controversy for the year. Finally, in 1969 in Romanian archives opened completely original form completed personally by Hristo Botev, when he was a teacher in the city of Izmail - 1870 It is fixed that Botev is 22 years old and was born "on December 25 1847 "

However, with regard to the main question in "botevedenieto" which no doubt deliberately not discussed in any form by bayganyuvskata academic community, namely whether Hristo Botev is the first Bulgarian anarchist as works and all his work clearly testify to this - here titled intellectual mekereta invariably benefit from Hamletoviya conclusion: "The rest is silence."

Is unbounded Bolshevik-Communist arrogance in distortion and omission of historical facts, which speak another blatant more recent example - the celebration of 90th Anniversary of the popular Bulgarian anarchist George Zhechev - noted poet, writer and translator. Celebration of the event was held in the hometown of Zhechev - Haskovo and was conducted by the Union of Translators in Bulgaria, County and Municipal Councils for spiritual development company of the Union of Bulgarian Writers and Haskovo House of Literature in 1987 - the time of glasnost and perestroika. Those attending the cultural event but never heard if he ever Zhechev was an anarchist. Instead, create a haunting impression that he is one of the most prominent apologists of the Soviet social system and the Soviet literature. The brochure issued on the occasion of the anniversary, of the former picture (only one except the individual photograph of George Zhechev) in Haskovo organized by anarchist and a personal friend of jubilee Delcho Vassilev visit of Zhechev Bagryana and Hadzhimarchev in Haskovo in 1946, the name of Vasilev not quoted in the caption below the photographs, ie presence of organized activity by itself was summarily criminalized! Was not allowed to speak life and work of George Zhechev of Haskovo Panayot Manahilov anarchist who in protest left the party. So the camps Zhecheva 90th anniversary, jubilee proved active participant in the Ninth of September Revolution in 1944 and a tireless builder of socialism and communism in Bulgaria. Further comment is completely unnecessary and unhealthy for everyone pretty much a normal human mind! •
