This shows a document recently discovered among the Ottoman archives in Istanbul. The data are from the registry of the male population in Karlovo, it was clear from the words of the professor of the University of Sofia “St. Kliment Ohridski” Prof. Dr. Plamen Mitev. At Stara Zagora, he explained that the document was discovered by his colleague, Grigor Voykov, who now works in Vienna.
Both are preparing a full scientific publication, to be published at the end of the year. The register tracked the male population in Karlovo during the period from 1833 to 1844, the name of Vasil Ivan Kuchev appeared in 1840, it is practically the first and only document written so far, allowing historians to set foot on a “base solid “. “by clarifying the biography of the deacon.
Professor Dr. Mitev recalled that in practice the date July 18 (old style July 6), 1837 appears years after the Liberation, was announced by Levski’s first cousin Vasil Karaivanov (1847-1933) and was popularized by Stoyan Zaimov. In 1895, this date occurred with many conventions.
There is another thesis, according to which if it is true that Levski became a monk in the monastery near Sopot in 1858, then he should have been born in 1843.
If the deacon’s new date of birth is accepted, it will mean that he was hanged at age 33, not at 36.
