Mykhailo Parashchuk

Cyril and Methodius National Library, the interior of the Ministry of War and the geometric decoration of the Sofia University rectorate.

[3] Outside the capital, Parashchuk created the sculptural decoration of buildings in Pernik, Velingrad, Kardzhali,[3] Varna,[5] Provadia and Sapareva Banya, as well as the Giurgiu-Rousse Friendship Bridge.

[2] Besides working in building decoration, Parashchuk was also engaged in sculpting busts and bas-reliefs of noted Bulgarians, including Vasil Levski, Peyo Yavorov, Gotse Delchev, Stefan Karadzha, Dimitar Blagoev, Hristo Botev and Aleko Konstantinov.

[3] Despite his popularity, Parashchuk was twice expelled from the Union of Bulgarian Artists in the 1940s and 1950s because he was accused of being a fascist, western spy[2] or White Russian,[3] although before World War II he was slandered as a "Bolshevik agent" and "Comintern member".

[4] Mikhaylo Parashchuk was married to Tsvetana Pekareva, the daughter of prominent agrarian politician and early BANU activist Yurdan Pekarev, mayor of Varna, Bulgaria in 1921.
