Practical Implementation of Abolition
- When
- 1878
- Where
- Bulgaria
The practical realization of the abolition of serfdom in Bulgaria is associated with the period following the Russo-Turkish War of 1878.
Although the legal abolition occurred in 1858, the practical enforcement of these rights is frequently linked to the aftermath of the Russo-Turkish War, when Bulgaria was gradually liberated from the Ottoman Empire. The sources record the de facto date as 1878 but do not describe how implementation of the abolition occurred in practice.
