biography
Ivan Bogorov was born in Karlovo, a town in the Balkan Mountains, in 1818. He studied at the famous Greek grammar school Fener Rum Erkek Lisesi in Constantinople (now Istanbul), where he was sent by his family. In the school on the Bosporus he made friends with Georgi Sawa Rakowski , the Bogoridis , Gawril Krastewitsch , Sawa Dobroplodni and other Bulgarians who were to play a central role in the history of Bulgaria. Around 1826, at 19, he finished high school and went to Odessa , where Bogorow joined the Richelieu colleague.
In 1841 Bogorow published the Bulgarian coat of arms from the book Stemmatographia (1741) by Christofor Schefarowitsch . In the following time he worked as a teacher in Bucharest, Veliko Tarnowo, Swishtov, Gabrovo, bid he settled in Stara Sagora . He spread the idea of education in the Bulgarian rather than the Greek language. For this purpose Bogorow worked out the First Bulgarian grammar in Stara Sagora (Bulgarian "Първичка българска словница" / Parwitschka balgarska slowniza, published in Bucharest in 1844).
Between 1845 and 1847 Bogorow studied chemistry at the University of Leipzig . On April 20, 1846, he edited and published the first Bulgarian newspaper “ Bulgarski orel ” (Bulgarian “Българский орел” = Bulgarian eagle) in Leipzig , two years after Konstantin Fotinow's first Bulgarian magazine “Ljuboslowie” . The second issue of the newspaper appears on September 20, 1846 under the name “Bulgarski naroden isvestnik” (“Bulgarian People's Newspaper”), the third and last on January 1, 1847.
After 1847 Bogorov returned to Constantinople and wrote for the newspaper Zarigradski Westinik (Bulgarian "Цариградски вестник" = Constantinople newspaper). In Constantinople he is one of the conservative circles in the Bulgarian community in the Ottoman capital. In his article he continually urges the independence of the Bulgarian Church (see Bulgarian Exarchate ).
In 1856 Bogorow was one of the founding members of the Society for Bulgarian Literature, along with Rakowski and Dragan Zankow .
Bogorow was a well-known advocate of linguistic purism and avowed opponent of the Greek and Russian influence on the Bulgarian language. In his works Bogorow leans on neologism . Some of the words he introduced in the literary Bulgarian language are still in use today (for example вестник / Westnik = newspaper, часовник / Tschasownik = wrist watch, пратеник / Pratenik = envoy).
