Vassil
had got the nickname Levski during his service in the First Bulgarian legion
organized by Rakovski (at left) in 1862 in Belgrad. "Levski"
in 19-century Bulgarian means "like a lion".
One
day during a training, the young legionnaires were jumping over a deep
ditch. Like a lion, Vassil had jumped the farthest. Rakosvski
exclaimed, "That is a Levskii jump!"
Since that day everyone has called him Vassil Levskii.
