Patriot an poet, one of the heroes of the Bulgarian national revolutionary movement against Turkish rule.
In 1863 he was sent to complete his education in Russia, where he was much influenced by nihilist ideas.
He returned to Bulgaria in 1867 but then fled to Romania. There he joined with his compatriot Stephan Stambulov in promoting a Bulgarian liberation movement through journalistic, literary, and organizational activity.
A collection of his patriotic verses, Pesni u stilhove ("Songs and Verses"), appeared in 1875.
During the Bulgarian rising of early May 1876 he re-entered Bulgaria with a small band of rebels, but he was killed by regular Turkish troops within a few days of his return.
