Story · Monument to the Tsar Liberator

You're standing at the Monument to the Tsar Liberator, right in the centre of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Look up. That's a Russian emperor sitting proudly on his horse: Alexander II. Back home he freed Russia's serfs, and he won the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 and 1878. For Bulgarians, that war made him their liberator, and that's why he's up there.
