Trastenik (Bulgarian: Тръстеник) is a village in the municipality of Ivanovo, in the Ruse Province of Bulgaria.
[1] The village is around 25 km away from the province center of Ruse, with the connection provided by route E85.
n April 1900, amidst country-wide unrest against the tithe, a peasant rebellion erupted in the village following the district authorities' failure to address peasant grievances against the government-nominated municipal council.
Up to 5,000 peasants from Trastenik and neighboring villages resisted two companies of soldiers and a detachment of gendarmes.
However, they were ultimately defeated after the government sent reinforcements from neighboring districts.
