Revolutionary Georgi Dimitrov Mavroto

Georgi Dimitrov Mavrov, called Mavroto, was a Bulgarian Volunteer Corps veteran and revolutionary, and an active participant in Bulgaria's Unification in 1885.

He was born in 1852 in Thessaloniki or Kirechkoy village in the Ottoman Empire. In 1869, he moved to Constantinople, where he attended the Bulgarian school in the Fener district and helped his father in trade. In 1875, he went to Odesa, Russia.

During the Serbo-Turkish War of 1876, he volunteered in Ilyo Voivode's detachment and was wounded in the Battle of Zaječar. He then joined the Bulgarian Volunteer Corps during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 and received the Insignia of Distinction of the Military Order of St George, Fourth Class, for his part in the Battle of Sheynovo.

After the war, he settled in Tatar Pazardzhik in Eastern Rumelia. He actively participated in the Unification movement and joined the secret revolutionary committee in Pazardzhik. He took part in the action of 4 September 1885 to free Zahari Stoyanov and Petar Zografski, who had been arrested by the Pazardzhik prefect. He organised a detachment of 1,000 peasants from various settlements, which entered Pazardzhik and proclaimed the Unification.

During the Unification and the Serbo-Bulgarian War, Dimitrov volunteered in the Bulgarian army.
