Vasil Levski (the tall monument) was Bulgaria's greatest hero. Until he was killed by the Turks in 1873, he had organized a national resistance movement against the Ottoman Empire that was finally concluded in 1878.
Ivan Vasov, Bulgaria's most beloved author of Under the Yoke -- who wrote about Bulgaria's crusade against the Turks -- was honored in another park. Both heroes were buried in Sofia. Marilyn read Under the Yoke in English, and also some Bulgarian poems and short stories provided to her by a UNWE law student.
