Bulgarians have been flocking throughout the day on Monday to pay floral tribute to monuments across the country and abroad commemorating the 151st anniversary of the death of Bulgarian national hero Vassil Levski (1837-1873). Levski is arguably the most influential Bulgarian revolutionary leader in the struggle for liberation from Ottoman rule and one of the few truly undisputed national heroes, whom Bulgarians hold dear to their hearts. After a decade of revolutionary activity at home and abroad, he was captured by the Ottoman authorities in Northern Bulgaria and hanged in Sofia on February 19, 1873.
