Dimitar Zlatarev
Appearance
Dimitar Vasiliev Zlatarev (Bulgarian: Димитър Василев Златарев; 5 August 1896 in Yambol, Principality of Bulgaria – 1937 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Soviet Union) was a Bulgarian terrorist. He joined the Bulgarian Communist Party at 1919, rising to become a high-ranking member of its armaments section. At 1924 he and Dimitar Hadzhidimitrov suggested a plot to assassinate a police director and detonate a bomb at his funeral, thus killing many people in the police hierarchy. This attack is what later became the St Nedelya Church assault.[1] Zlatarev fled to the USSR and was sentenced to death in absentia. During the Great Purge he was sent to a labor camp, where he died.[2]
