Personalities from the history of Ruse: Panayot Popov
Panayot A. Popov was born on November 30, 1848 in Rousse, where he spent his childhood. He finished third grade at the "Mitrondio" Lyceum. He went down in history as a prominent businessman of the city of Ruse, and his name is most often found among the founders of the first credit and commercial institutions in the city. He played an important role in the construction and development of the credit system in Bulgaria. It is interesting that the center of private banking in Bulgaria at that time was not Sofia, but Ruse.
