Vasil Chekalarov

Vasil Hristov Chekalarov (Bulgarian/; 1874 – 9 July 1913) was a Bulgarian revolutionary and a leader of the Kastoria district as part of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation (IMRO) in Macedonia. H. N. Brailsford described Chekalarov as one of the chiefs of the Bulgarian insurgent movement and "cruel but competent general" of the southern insurgents in Macedonia.

He was a leading ''komitaji'' in the bands of IMRO and took part in the battles against the Ottoman authorities as well as before the Ilinden Uprising as after it. In the 1900s, he created a channel for illegal purchase and transfer of firearms from Greece to Southern Macedonia. Provided by Wikipedia
