Voivode Doncho Zlatkov

Andon Zlatkov Tomov, known as Dedo Doncho Voivode, was a Bulgarian hajduk and revolutionary, also known as Palatski, Aramiyata and the Tsar of Pirin. He was born in the mountain village of Palat. His father, Zlatko Voivode, was also a hajduk leader and a participant in the Kresna-Razlog Uprising.

He completed the fourth grade of primary school in Dupnitsa, where his family had moved. In 1884, he began operating with a hajduk detachment in the Pirin and Maleshevo Mountains, mainly engaging in banditry. In 1895, he participated in the Macedonian Committee's armed detachment campaign. In 1901, he joined the Supreme Macedonian-Adrianople Committee after being refused membership of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organisation (IMARO).

In the summer of 1901, during the Miss Stone Affair, Zlatkov attacked Yane Sandanski's detachment with the aim of abducting the American women missionaries. He participated as a voivode in the Gorna Dzhumaya Uprising in 1902 and the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising in 1903, operating with a detachment in the Serres Revolutionary District.

After submitting an application to the local hospital, Doncho Voivode visited Varna in September 1912 for treatment at the Mariinska State Hospital. During the Balkan War of 1912–1913, he commanded a volunteer detachment operating in support of the Bulgarian army in the Petrich region.

In 1914, he was elected to the Seventeenth National Assembly as a Liberal Party representative for the Strumitsa district. He died on 2 October 1918 in Dupnitsa.
