Bulgaria. Medal for Participation in the September Uprising of 1923
The Medal for Participation in the September Uprising of 1923 (Медал „За участие в Септемврийското въстание 1923 година“) was a commemorative distinction of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria dedicated to the armed uprising of September 1923 against the government of Aleksandar Tsankov. The revolt, led primarily by the Bulgarian Communist Party with the participation of workers and peasants, was suppressed by government forces. During the socialist period, the uprising was officially commemorated as part of Bulgaria’s antifascist struggle.
The Bulgarian name of the medal literally means “For Participation in the September Uprising of 1923”. The piece commemorates those who took part in the uprising and its place in the official political memory of socialist Bulgaria.
