The Gabrovo Uprising

The Gabrovo Uprising of 1810 was a large-scale revolt by the Bulgarian population of Moesia against Turkish rule. It spread through the regions of Razgrad, Ruse, Byala, Varna and Pleven, and the central Balkan Mountains around Tarnovo, Gabrovo, Tryavna and Elena, extending to the southern slopes above Kazanlak. In various places, Turkish authorities withdrew and their rule was overthrown by Bulgarian insurgents supported by the Russian advance in the Russo-Turkish War of 1806–1812.
The uprising achieved significant success: the Turkish garrisons at Ruse and Vidin capitulated, while the Russian allies captured Tarnovo and Gabrovo. Turkish forces were defeated at the Battle of Batin and withdrew towards Ruse.

As a result of the insurgents' successful actions, Tarnovo and Gabrovo fell into Russian hands, while Ruse fell on 15 September.
The uprising faced difficulties during the winter, when deep snow closed the mountain passes. Despite its efforts to suppress the revolt, Turkish authority only regained control of the region after the weather grew warmer. The revolt subsided, and information about it becomes sparse, providing no further details of subsequent events.
