Vera Mutafchieva (Template:Lang-bg; March 28, 1929 – June 9, 2009) was a Bulgarian writer and historian.[1]
The daughter of historian Petar Mutafchiev and Nadia Tritonova, she was born in Sofia and was educated at Sofia University. She was a senior researcher at various institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia.[2] Her research focused on the Ottoman period. She also wrote several historical novels and the script for the 1981 film Khan Asparuh.[3]
Mutafchieva was married twice: first to Jossif Krapchev in 1950 (divorced in 1956) and then to Atanas Slavov in 1961 (divorced in 1967).
From 1997 to 1998, Mutafchieva was head of the State Agency for Bulgarians Abroad. In 2008, it was revealed that she had collaborated with the secret police in communist Bulgaria.[3] However, she is also known for her defence of women's rights in Bulgaria.[1]
Mutafchieva died at the government hospital in Sofia at the age of 80.[3]
