Todor Anastasov (1932-2023) was born on September 23, 1932 in Pleven in the family of an officer in the Bulgarian King’s army. After 1944, his family was forcibly resettled to Botevgrad. In November 1951, together with two friends of his, he made an unsuccessful attempt to leave Bulgaria. Because this was forbidden at the time, he was arrested and sent to Belene for two years, without trial or sentence. After Stalin’s death in August 1953, the camp was closed and Todor served only 7 months of his sentence. After his release from Belene, he was able to enroll in a university and graduate with a degree in physics in 1960. He worked as a teacher in Pernik, then at a research laboratory, and in 1963 he became a research associate at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. After the fall of the communist regime, Todor Anastasov was the chairman of the Union of the Repressed by Communism in Bulgaria.
Todor passed away on December 29, 2023 at the age of 91.
