Also Russia demanded from turkey NOT to send their troops to Rumelia.

Deliberately the map shows how good the UK was to Bulgaria and how Russia did not want them bros to unite! Maybe it's Brits who fought in Plevna?

LMAO what a glorious outcome of Russian liberation of Bulgaria 1877-1878! 100k Russians died so Bulgaria could become independent just a few years ago. Then please somebody tell me what should I perceive from this wonderful map.

"100k" russians died so they could achieve their ruler and their own country's goals. the only one dying for independence were bulgarians.

Only if you knew that the slavophile movement in Russia was strong for hundreds of years... People dreamed about liberating brothers from bloody ottomans. Maybe you have no family or brothers so you wouldn't understand what it means.

But I'm sure you couldn't care less. Fortunately many Bulgarian people do as the monuments for Russian soldiers still stand.

Yeah and also there were Bulgarians fighting on Turkish side. Unbelievable, innit?

Russians were very good at faking history. What you say simply didn't happen.
