He was a member of Internal Macedono-Adrianopolean Revolutionary Organization (IMARO), teacher, journalist, translator and writer.

After the Young Turk Revolution, Parlichev participated in the inauguration of the Bulgarian Constitutional Clubs political party.

In 1918 Parlichev wrote his first work - The Serbian Regime and the Revolutionary Struggle in Macedonia (in Bulgarian: Сръбският режим и революционната борба в Македония).

After the murder of Todor Alexandrov, Parlichev was forced by Ivan Mihailov to stop his participation in the activities of IMRO.

Parlichev is survived today by his grandson, Kiril, who has published his previously unknown works in Sofia, Bulgaria.
