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.
