Who was Mamin Kolyu?

Nikola Koev Nikolov, known as Mamin Kolyu was a Bulgarian revolutionary of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Revolutionary Organization who fought for the liberation of Macedonia and Thrace from Ottoman rule.

Mamin Kolyu was born on 20 March 1880 in Haskovo as revolutionary Tane Nikolov's older brother's son. After finishing primary school, he enlisted in the 10tg Rhodopean Infantry Regiment of the Bulgarian Army and served from January 1901 to November 1902. He joined the ranks of IMARO as a soldier and after his discharge went for Sofia to become a member of a detachment and fight in Macedonia. In 1903, he entered Macedonia under the command of Ivan Naumov Alyabaka.

During the Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising of 1903, he set the Ottoman gendarmerie's barracks in Kruševo on fire together with Kosta Hristov Popeto. As the uprising was crushed, he returned to Bulgaria. In 1904, he assaulted the Turkish consul's carriage in Sofia together with Alyabaka, injuring the consul's bodyguard and forcing the Bulgarian government to sentence them. Six months later, they were quietly released without amnesty and told to stay out of the government's way.
