Tsola Dragoycheva

Dragoycheva returned to Bulgaria in 1936 and was elected a member of the Bulgarian Communist Party's Central Committee, which she remained until 2 February 1990.

Dragoycheva took an active part in the BCP and the Fatherland Front's armed resistance to Bulgaria's alignment with the Axis Powers of World War II.

She was arrested in August 1941 and interned at the Sveti Nikola women's wing of the Gonda Voda concentration camp near Asenovgrad; she remained there until December.

She advocated Bulgaria's admission to the Soviet Union as its 16th republic [citation needed] and acted as a censor of culture and arts.

Her memoirs give a detailed overview of the so called " Bulgarians in Vardar Macedonia'"s state in and after World War II and express the BCP's views on the Macedonian Question.
