Timeline
Nikola Yonkov Vaptsarov (Никола Йонков Вапцаров; Никола Јонков Вапцаров; 7 December 1909 – 23 July 1942) was a Bulgarian poet, communist and revolutionary.
Working most of his life as a machinist, he only wrote in his spare time.
Despite the fact that he only ever published one poetry book, he is considered one of the most important Bulgarian poets.
Because of his underground communist activity against the government of Boris III and the German troops in Bulgaria, Vaptsarov was arrested, tried, sentenced and executed the same night by a firing squad.
He was born in Bansko (today in Bulgaria).
Trained as a machine engineer at the Naval Machinery School in Varna, which was later named after him.
His first service was on the famous Drazki torpedo boat.
In this period, he embraced Marxism and spread the communist ideology during the 1930s.
In the late 1930s, he co-founded the Macedonian literary circle, which promoted the idea of a separate Macedonian nation, but Vaptsarov continued writing only in standard Bulgarian.
In April and May 1932, Vaptsarov visited Istanbul, Famagusta, Alexandria, Beirut, Port Said, and Haifa as a crew member of the Burgas vessel.
In 1934, he joined the Bulgarian Communist Party.
Later, he went to work in a factory in the village of Kocherinovo – at first as a stoker and eventually as a mechanic.
He was elected Chairman of the Association, protecting worker rights in the factory.
Vaptsarov was devoted to his talent and spent his free time writing and organizing amateur theater pieces.
He got fired after a technical failure in 1936.
This forced him to move to Sofia, where he worked for the state railway service and the municipal incinerating furnace.
He continued writing, and a number of newspapers published poems of his.
The "Romantika" poem won him a poetry contest.
His only published poetry collection is Motor Songs (1940).
In 1940, he participated in the so-called "Sobolev action," gathering signatures for a pact of friendship between Bulgaria and the USSR.
The illegal activity earned him an arrest and an internment in the village of Godech.
After his release in September 1940, Vaptsarov got involved with the Central Military Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party.
His task was to organize the supply of guns and documents for the communist resistance.
He was arrested in March 1942.
On 23 July 1942, he was sentenced to death and shot the same evening along with eleven other men.
Post-war Bulgarian communist authorities revered him as an activist and revolutionary poet, presenting his poetry collection as an example of "proletarian" literature.
His work was also widely published in Soviet-bloc countries.
In 1949, the Bulgarian Naval Academy was renamed Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy.
His Selected Poems was published in London in the 1950s, by Lawrence & Wishart, translated into English with a foreword by British poet Peter Tempest.
He was one of the most frequently translated Bulgarian poets.
Vaptsarov Peak in eastern Livingston Island, Antarctica, is named after the famous Bulgarian poet.
Today, Nikola Vaptsarov's childhood home in Bansko and residence in Sofia are both museums.
He is also revered in North Macedonia.
On 1953, he received posthumously the International Peace Award.
