The monument will commemorate the historic battle at Rusokastro, through which Tsar Ivan Alexander led the military of the Bulgarian kingdom to victory in opposition to the Byzantine military on July 18, 1332.

The stone for the sculpture, Vratchan limestone weighing 8 tons, was supplied by Rusi Kurtlakov and in the present day, with a hammer and chisel, the sculptor Atanas Stoyanov made the primary blows on the stone, marking the start.

“This initiative is an expression of respect for Bulgarian historical past and reminiscence, supported by many native intellectuals and public figures, residents and patriotic Bulgarians. Thanks for the large coronary heart of Rusi Kurtlakov and Mayor Zhelio Vardunski, who’re a brilliant instance of methods to love Bulgaria and methods to protect historic reminiscence. I thank the households of Ilia and Georgi Prodanov – grain producers from the village of Polski Izvor, who readily determined to offer the required funding for the creation of the bust monument to Tsar Ivan Alexander,” stated regional governor Prof. Neikova.
The thought can also be to show the Rusokastro fortress into an much more fashionable place that preserves the historic reminiscence of Bulgaria’s wonderful occasions and battles.
