Todor Kolev Kavaldzhiev (Bulgarian: Тодор Колев Кавалджиев; 26 January 1934 – 6 February 2019)[1] was Vice President of Bulgaria from 1997 until 2002.

He was a pro-BZNS activist during his teens, as he vowed to restore the Agrarian Youth Wing, which failed due to his arrest and imprisonment in 1952.

During 1970-1973 and 1982-1983 he became a organizer-designer in the factory Сърп и чук, which translates to Sickle and hammer.

Kavaldzhiev was one of the first people to publicly address the mismanagement of the Union of Democratic Forces.

He first warned about corrupt practices and that ex-communists most actively take control of enterprises and facilities in the process of privatization, often simply draining and destroying them.
