    This is very famous Bulgarian General and Politician Dobri Terpeshev. During WW2 he was organizer and Chief Commander of Bulgarian Partisan Resistance, for which he was awarded one of the highest Soviet military distinction - Order of Kutuzov 1st class (only 2 Bulgarians were given this award). You can see him wearing Kutuzov Order on his right side.

     

    Lieutenant General. Minister in Bulgarian Government.

    He was extremely popular amongst common people. Later in 1950s he had conflict with Bulgarian Communist Party Chief Todor Zhivkov, was prosecuted, removed from all posts and awards, his pension was taken away and he was exiled from Sofia. Died in poverty in 1967.
