Revolutionary Taki Nikolov

Taki Nikolov Dincha was a Bulgarian revolutionary of Vlach origin and an active member of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organisation (IMARO).

Taki Nikolov was born in the town of Krushevo, then part of the Ottoman Empire. After the failure of the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising in 1903, he joined IMARO. In 1905 he became a fighter in Dobri Daskalov's Tikvesh detachment. In 1906 he served under Georgi Muchitanov, known as Kasapcheto, and from late 1907 he established himself as an independent voivode in the Karaferia, Voden and Enidzhe Vardar districts, fighting activists of the Greek armed propaganda movement in Macedonia.

In 1912, at the outbreak of the First Balkan War, Taki Nikolov Dincha volunteered for the Macedonian-Adrianople Volunteer Corps and served in Metodi Stoychev's detachment, which liberated the Krushevo district on 25 October. After the wars ended, he moved to Bulgaria, where he later died of tuberculosis on 19 August 1931.

Taki Nikolov Dincha is thus remembered as an active participant in the struggle for the Macedonian Bulgarians' freedom and as a volunteer who devoted his life to liberating his homeland.
