Revolutionary Todor Parmakov the Hajduk

Todor Pavlov Parmakov, known by the nickname Todor the Hajduk, was a Bulgarian national revolutionary born in 1834 in Gorno Draglishte village in the Razlog region to Pavel and Pelagia Parmakov.

In 1876, when the April Uprising began, Todor the Hajduk joined Georgi Benkovski's Flying Detachment. Despite the uprising's defeat, he remained active in the struggle to liberate Bulgaria. He participated in the Kresna–Razlog Uprising after the Russo-Turkish War, leading a detachment of more than 200 local hajduks and revolutionaries.

After taking part in these revolutionary events, Todor the Hajduk remained committed to the struggle for freedom and justice. He worked as a labourer on the railway at Belyovo station.

The Ottoman authorities arrested him after the April Uprising and imprisoned him in Nevrokop and later in Plovdiv. Although sentenced to death, he was amnestied.

Todor Pavlov Parmakov died in Sapareva Banya on 7 October 1913 at the age of 80. He is remembered as an important participant in the struggle to liberate the Bulgarian people from Ottoman rule.
