| Comment: | The St. Nikola peak is one of the three mountain peaks (Shipka, Orlovo gnezdo), where a series of armed conflicts, collectively referred to as "The Battle of Shipka Pass", were fought between the Russians (aided by Bulgarian volunteers) and the Ottoman Empire during the Russo-Ottoman War of 1877 - 1878. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Russo-Ottoman War a historical re-enactment of the battles took place. | Relations: | /o:vase.175 /o:vase.176 /o:vase.177 /o:vase.178 /o:vase.179 /o:vase.180 /o:vase.181 /o:vase.182 /o:vase.189 /o:vase.184 /o:vase.185 /o:vase.186 /o:vase.187 /o:vase.188 |
