Revolutionary Angel Militiev

Angel Petrov Militiev was a Bulgarian revolutionary and hajduk active in the struggle to liberate Macedonia and the Adrianople region from Ottoman rule. He was born in 1858 in Kalapot, then in the Ottoman Empire.

He led his own band and joined other prominent hajduks, including Todor Palaskarya and Kosta Kucheto. He participated in the Kresna–Razlog Uprising of 1878–1879, showing courage and determination.

He later joined the Supreme Macedonian-Adrianople Committee and took part in the Gorna Dzhumaya Uprising. In subsequent years, he established himself as a commander in the Drama region.

Militiev continued his struggle until the end of his life and died in Sveti Vrach in 1937, retaining an honoured place in Bulgarian revolutionary history.
