The 71st Following the Steps of Botev’s Detachment National March starts today in the town of Kozloduy on the bank of the Danube River and will end up on June 2 at the Okolchitsa Peak in the Balkan. Hundreds have joined the traditional event, dedicated to the memory and feat of revolutionary and poet Hristo Botev and his people. Back in 1876 a small detachment, headed by Botev took over the Radecky steamship at the Danube and made it land at Kozloduy. The rebels wanted to aid the April Uprising, but the latter had already been over and so the detachment was liquidated by the Turkish forces.
