922F Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Thank you Nick!!! Great to see that image [post 5] of Terpeshev wearing what seems to be a [Bourgeois] Bulgarian Republic uniform complete with decorations that include a Bulgarian Alexander Nevesky Order [st. Alexander Order successor] civil Grand Officer's star!! A quick translation of Terpeshev's Wiki bio follows....like many Wiki articles, not sure if the information is entirely reliable. Seems he was a 'brave trouble-maker' throughout his life! Dobri Kolev Terpeshev, born May 15, 1884 in the village of Izvorovo, Bulgaria, joined the Social Democratic Party in 1903. Served during the First Balkan War [1912]. For anti-war activity then, sentenced to death in 1912 but pardoned. In 1924-1925, he was a political leader of the Communist movement "Hristo Botev" and served under "the last leader" Mityo Ganev. Sentenced to death for his involvement in the April 1925 events [communist terror bombings/murders] in Bulgaria but only imprisoned until 1937. Terpeshev became a member of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party in 1938. He participated in Bulgarian communist resistance movement during World War II. In 1941, Terpeshev was arrested and jailed but escaped in 1943, remaining a Member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party throughout. Terpeshev acted as Commander of the rebel People's Liberation Army (NEW) and was a chief organizer of the Bulgarian anti-fascist, pro-communist resistance movement during World War II. After the overthrow of the government of Ivan Bagrianov, Terpeshev negotiated with Constantine Mouraviev for a peaceful transfer of power to communist leaders. Terpeshev thus was one of the main figures in their September 9, 1944 takeover. Terpeshev served the Bulgarian communist government as Minister without Portfolio (1944-47), Chairman of the Supreme Economic Council and the State Planning Commission (1945-1950), Vice-Chairman of the Council of Ministers (1949 to 1950). Member of the 26th Ordinary National Assembly (1945-46), 6th Grand National Assembly (1946-49), and National Assembly (1949-1957). Also acted as President of the International Union of participants in the resistance (Federation internationale de resistants) (1948-1950). In mid-1956 Terpeshev was expelled from Communist Party for "anti-Party activities" -- his opposition to Tudor Zhivkov's [bulgarian communist leader from 1954-1989] ever-increasing 'cult of personality'. During the April, 1956 Bulgarian communist plenum meeting, Terpeshev stated for the record that Zhivkov played an insignificant part in the partisan movement, saying: "It is so small that we never noticed it - either before or after the seizure of power in Sofia. If you live longer, you will learn that Zhivkov himself, alone, was completely responsible for the communist revolution in Bulgaria." In 1961,Terpeshev was deprived of his pension and in 1964 exiled from Sofia to Pleven. Terpeshev died there in 1967, age 83
JapanX Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 A quick translation of Terpeshev's Wiki bio follows.... You're good! Seems he was a 'brave trouble-maker' throughout his life.... This truth-seeker wouldn't last long with comrade Stalin
Ferdinand Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 IMG_7522.JPG Interesting record card, but that's not his; it's a card confirming the award of a Kutuzov 2nd Class to another Bulgarian general.
JapanX Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Yep, for Klapalek Karel Ferdinandovich (4th Ukrainian front) Only he was Czechoslovak general Will post his 2nd Kutuzov tomorrow :) Edited July 21, 2013 by JapanX
JapanX Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) This truth-seeker wouldn't last long with comrade Stalin Interesting that in 1950 when he was accused by fellow communists in "lack of proletarian watchfulness, blindness toward traitor Kostov and his gang" only direct intervention of Stalin saved him from arrest ... You never know with comrade Stalin ... :whistle: Edited July 21, 2013 by JapanX
