The tranquility in a Bulgarian village under the Ottoman yoke is ostensible. In fact, the people prepare themselves strenuously for an uprising. The educated part of the population desperately wants changes. The enthusiasm is enormous, but the rebellion is beyond their powers. The Turk break down the resistance and shed a lot of blood. The sanguinary uprising is the reason for the Russian-Turkish war, in which the Bulgarian volunteers take part as well. Soon thereafter, Bulgaria is free at last.
