- ... that during the 1899–1900 peasant unrest in Bulgaria, some troops refused orders to fire upon the protesters?

ISBN 978-0-691-65544-4, p. 45: "By dawn of the following day, the balance of forces had so shifted that the peasants decided to challenge the troops by marching to Ruse. When they approached the troops the commander gave the order to open fire. The soldiers, however, refused to shoot into the peasants and fired two volleys into the air. The commander himself drew his revolver and fired at the peasants, who rushed at him and made him prisoner. Some of the soldiers allowed their weapons to be taken and the rest retreated."

Izdatelstvo na Natsionalnia Savet na Otechestvenia Front: "Постигането на първите успехи повдигна духа на селяните и положението на стражарите и войниците стана критично. За да сломи нападателния дух на селяните, командирът на войсковия отред даде заповед за стрелба. Но войниците отказаха да стрелят в своите бащи и братя. Не беше изпълнена също така и заповедта „На нож!“. Войската се колебаеше."
- Translation from Bulgarian: "The achievement of the first successes raised the spirits of the villagers and the situation of the guards and soldiers became critical. To break the offensive spirit of the villagers, the commander of the military detachment gave the order to shoot. But the soldiers refused to shoot their fathers and brothers. The order "On a knife!" was also not carried out. The army hesitated."

@Anonimu: Article is long enough and new enough. QPQ not needed. Article is well-sourced and copyvio-free. Hook is interesting and well-sourced. The article has an issue with presentability: there are many dead links. I recommend either de-linking them or linking to their Bulgarian Wikipedia equivalents. Once this is resolved, I can approve the nomination. Kimikel (talk) 04:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
