“Every generation measures itself and its deeds by the moral stature of the Apostle of Freedom,” President Rumen Radev said in an address to mark 149 years since the death of Vassil Levski. “Levski prepared the people for armed struggle, but also for moral elevation, because freedom can only belong to a nation enlightened and morally elevated, a nation aware of its strength and its virtues,” the Bulgarian President said.

According to Rumen Radev, to pay tribute to Vassil Levski takes humility before his death as a hero, but also courage to follow his example. “History will never forgive us if we do not get back on track to the pure and sacred republic he bequeathed us,” President Radev said.
