September 1886 CE

The Bulgarian conspiracy is countered, however, by Stefan Nikolov Stambolov, president of the National Assembly, and by Lieutenant Colonel Sava Mutkurov, commander of the Plovdiv garrison, who takes control of Sofia and recalls Alexander.

The Russians do not detain the prince, but he refuses to remain in Bulgaria without Russian approval.

When the tsar refuses to give it, Alexander abdicates on September 7, appointing a regency composed of Stambolov, Mutkurov, and Petko Karavelov.

The Bulgarian government is now as unstable as it was in its first year.
