Bulgaria Bulgarian Generals?

[christerd]

Hi all, I know this is probably a stupid question but I ask it anyway

Does anyone know or have any info about Bulgarian Generals during 1946-1990 ? I just bought another medal/order group to a GenLt and wonder if there is any way to find out more about him?

His name was Toschkov Georgiev if I read right,

I will post photos when it arrive.

JACKPOT!!!!!!

Toshkov, Lyubcho Gregoriev, Lt. General:

Member of the Bureau of the BCP Stara Zagora District Committee. 1978; Head of the Sofia Garrison May 1982-; (!) Promoted to Lt. general in 1982.

Bulgarian military adviser to the Congo in June, 1985.

Member of the Bureau of BCP Sofia City Committee on March 13, 1986. Candidate member of the BCP Central Committee elected at the XIII party Congress on April 5, 1986. Deputy to the National Assembly on June 8, 1986.

BCP= Bulgarian Communist party

A political general.

[Theodor]

He was Chief of Command West. It was indeed based in Sofia, but I believe that was a bigger thing, not just a town garrison, but the whole army structure in the western part of the country.

Thanks! Theodor is the or was there a BCP Central Committee biography book?

[Theodor]

I am sorry but do not know! There must be something after all, next time I visit the National Library will try to find out.

Nice partial group Christer. So many of these have been broken up, I'm happy to be able to get partials and i never stop looking for additional pieces to known names.

I believe your last document is Bulgarian and the ink stamps look like MVR stamps.

Can you post bigger scans please?

Theodor? Petr? Anatoly? Can anyone help?

Thanks, Rick

Last two--

something Bulgarian for international youth cooperation

Last one is for the Soviet officers' 1st Class classification badge "wings" worn on the right side:

[Theodor]

The DKMS thing is International Youth Relay-Race "Memory".

The last document is from the USSR. The ink stamp consists of the USSR State Emblem in the middle and in the circle Army Unit...number...

It is certificate for 1st Class Specialist in the armed Forces of the USSR /at least I understand it this way from the document/. And that Class is given to the general by an army unit commander from the soviet Army - by order the Commander of Army Unit 42202, Colonel Gavrilov.
