EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Russian Memorial in the historic city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, commemorating the liberation of the city from Ottoman rule on January 4, 1878. The monument stands as a testament to the significant role Russia played in Bulgaria's struggle for independence. The image, taken circa 1910, shows the memorial in all its grandeur, with an intricately designed obelisk at its center, adorned with the double-headed eagle, the symbol of the Russian Empire. The monument is surrounded by lush greenery, adding to the serene and peaceful atmosphere. In the foreground, a group of people can be seen gathered around the memorial, possibly paying their respects or enjoying a leisurely afternoon in the picturesque setting. Plovdiv, also known as Philippopolis or Filippooli, has a rich history that spans over 6,000 years. The city was an essential trading center in the Ottoman Empire and was coveted for its strategic location. The Russian army's arrival marked the beginning of the end for Ottoman rule in Bulgaria, paving the way for the country's independence. The monument honors Tsar Alexander II of Russia, who played a crucial role in the liberation of Bulgaria. His leadership and military prowess were instrumental in securing the city's freedom and ensuring the Bulgarian people's right to self-determination. The Russian Memorial in Plovdiv serves as a reminder of the historical significance of this event and the enduring bond between Russia and Bulgaria.
