We know Russia and Bulgaria had very close ties, until the end of WW 2. I notice MG Radko Dimitriev served in the Russian army during WW !. He commanded Armies 12-20-3 and 8, and was executed by the Reds on October 1918. He is one of your ommissions.
In the next day or 2 I will have a list of more names you are missing.
Regards, Harry


Ok, I will answer one by one to your posts.
Radko Dimitriev is in the list - Radko Dimitriev - MG 18.05.1905; LG 02.08.1912. His bio in Bulgarian can be found here:

More than a dozen Bulgarians have become generals, while serving in the Russian and the Soviet armies. Their incomplete list can be found here:

Hi dibo, am working on your list now. Please don't use yellow. It is impossible for me to read. As far as sources, a lot is from Wikipedia, plus there was a web site, years ago, from France I think, which listed generals from many countries. This site is no longer online. I appreciate your corrections to my mistakes.
Regards, Harry

Hello dibo,
The links on Georgi Marchin and stepan Popov do not work. Also, i found 10 or 12 photos in the wrong space, They are identified by name, but follow the biography of a different general officer.

We had a major crashdown on the Boinaslava forums' database recently and we are still recovering from it. Please when you identify these - send them to me for correction - thank you in advance.

I have gotten these from Ebay for a while.

Bottom is Nikola Ribarov to complement Dibo's fabulous work. Top is labeled just Hristov. I assume Pavel Hristov.


Cheers
