Revolutionary Konstantin Kyurkchiev

Konstantin Mitov Kyurkchiev, also known as Kyurkchiyski, was a Bulgarian non-commissioned officer and revolutionary, and an active member of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organisation (IMARO).

He was born in 1884 in Prekolnitsa in the Kyustendil region. As a non-commissioned officer in the Bulgarian army, he joined IMARO's activities after the Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising.

In 1906 Kyurkchiev joined the Veles detachment of Ivan Naumov, known as Alyabaka. He fought in a number of battles, including the Battle of Nozhot on 14 July 1907. He was later elected voivode and inspector of the detachments in the Bitola region.

After the Young Turk Revolution of 1908, Kyurkchiev emerged from clandestine activity and subsequently fought in the First and Second Balkan Wars. During the First World War he was Tane Nikolov's deputy voivode in the Morava region.

After the war he settled in Kyustendil, where he was active in the Macedonian brotherhoods and the Ilinden organisation of IMRO veterans. He also wrote poetry, authoring the collection "Войводски подвизи" (Exploits of Voivodes), published in Kyustendil in 1942.

Konstantin Mitov Kyurkchiev died on 16 October 1955.
