Biography
During the years, Kostadin has always stood up to the ideals of the Bulgarian people and has placed their interest first. He is one of the few Bulgarians who are actively engaged with the problems with the Bulgarian diaspora in Moldova, Ukraine, Greece, Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania and others. He is also the author of several books and documentary movies. After completing his Masters in Balkanistics in 2002 and Masters in Law in 2011 in the Veliko Turnovo University 'Saint Kiril and Metodi', in 2017 Kostadin Kostadinov held and completed his PhD on Ethnography and Folklore in the Ethnographic Museum of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. In 2004 he filmed a documentary on the Bulgarians in Albania, and in 2005 he published the film 'We are one nation' - directed to the Bulgarians in Aegean Macedonia. He is also the author of the film 'Forgotten Land', devoted to the Bulgarians in North Dobrudja filmed in 2009. In 2016, disappointed by what he perceived as falsifications and forgeries of Bulgarian history in the contemporary education books - he wrote a 'History Textbook' aimed at children from 1 to 4 grade. The book becomes the most read e-book on the Bulgarian internet after being downloaded more than 500,000 times only from his personal blog. In 2017, his next book was released, 'Guide to the ancient Bulgarian lands' in which over 100 revered places in the Bulgarian history are named and detailed.
In June 2014, driven by the idea that Bulgaria is in desperate need of national reform and revival in the city of Pliska the Constituent Assembly was held which created party "Revival". The initiators chose that symbolic date of the Ilinden Uprising. On 3 November 2019, Kostadin and "Revival" went on a run-off vote for the mayor position in Varna and accumulated close to 40% of the total vote, leaving behind some of the largest already established political parties in Bulgaria. "Revival" made a historical landmark in its as of then 5 year history as Kostadin Kostadinov managed to nearly double his votes and attract nation-wide support on the second election on 3 November 2019. On a national scale after the 2019 elections, "Revival" also established: • 1 regional mayor in Topolovgrad, Haskovo province – Bozhidar Bozhinov • 6 mayors of villages – Angel Nikov, Nadka Dincheva, Magdalena Ganeva, Ginko Vasilev, Zlatan Vanev, Petya Leikova • 29 mayor advisors in Razlog, Burgas, Varna, Novo Selo, Ruse, Sliven, Anton, Sapareva Banya, Stara Zagora, Toplovgrad, Harmanli, Tryavna.
