The Whites in Belogradchik [In Bulgarian]

Abstract

In 1922-1924, after the end of the Civil war in Russia, the White Army came in Bulgaria from Gallipoli. The famous Markov regiment occupied the empty barracks of the former 15th Lom Infantry Regiment in Belogradchik. In the next years some of the officers and soldiers of that Russian regiment remained in Belogradchik and Bulgaria and Bulgarians were so kind to shelter them. The new poem by Valentin Kachev is devoted to the Belogradchik “belogvardejci” [white soldiers].
