Stoyan Zaimov is a Bulgarian Revival revolutionary. He was born
on August 12, 1853 in the town of Chirpan. Still schoolboy he
joined the National Liberation fights of the Bulgarians under
Ottoman rule. In 1873 he was sentenced to imprisonment for life in
Diarbekir because of his participation in the homicide of Hadji
Stavri in Haskovo. At the end of 1874 he managed to break out of
prison and settled in Romania. Stoyan Zaimov was one of the
founders of the Gyurgevo (Giurgiu) Revolutionary Committee. He
was appointed Apostle of the 3rd Revolutionary Vratza District. He
planned and organized the rebel army's moves. When Botev’s
guerrilla detachment crossed the Danube River a numerous
Turkish army prevented the Vratza rebels from joining Botev and
making for Vesletz, as the plan said. Stoyan Zaimov was captured
and sentenced to death by the special Turkish court in Rousse.
The strong public support however forced the death sentence to be
replaced by life imprisonment in Asia Minor. There he welcomed
the Liberation and was brought back to Bulgaria under the power
of the Peace Treaty of San Stefano. After 1878 Stoyan Zaimov
founded military-historical museums and memorials of gratitude
in Sofia, Pleven, Byala, Pordim and Gorna Studena. As a memoirs-
writer he produced works on Bulgaria's National Liberation
movement. | |||
