Stamboliyski, Aleksandur

(born , March 1, 1879, Slavovitsa, Bulg.—died June 14, 1923, near Slavovitsa) Bulgarian politician and premier (1919–23). Editor of the Agrarian League's newspaper, he entered the National Assembly in 1908 as head of the Agrarian Union (Peasant Party). He opposed the pro-German king Ferdinand and supported the Allies in World War I, for which he was imprisoned (1915–18). He led the 1918 insurrection that forced Ferdinand's abdication, and he was chosen premier of the new Bulgarian republic in 1919. Favouring a pro-agrarian policy, he redistributed land to the peasants and reformed the judicial system. Stamboliyski's pacifist leanings and advocacy of a militia alienated the army, and he was overthrown in a military coup and executed.
