## Biography

Chernopeev worked as sergeant in [Bulgarian Army](/source/Bulgarian_Army) from 1889 to 1899. Afterwards he became an active member of the Macedonian liberation movement and took part in the [Miss Stone Affair](/source/Miss_Stone_Affair) in 1901 in [Pirin Mountain](/source/Pirin). After the suppression of the [Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising](/source/Ilinden-Preobrazhenie_Uprising) in 1903 together with [Yane Sandanski](/source/Yane_Sandanski) and [Dimo Hadjidimov](/source/Dimo_Hadjidimov), he set the base of the left wing of [IMRO](/source/Internal_Macedonian_Revolutionary_Organization). During this period he led a band in [Kilkis](/source/Kilkis)' region and worked as a military instructor in IMRO. After the [Young Turks](/source/Young_Turks) revolution in 1908, Chernopeev was one of the founders of the *[People's Federative Party (Bulgarian Section)](/source/People's_Federative_Party_(Bulgarian_Section))*. From 1911, he became member of the Central Committee of IMRO. During 1912, he was the leader of a volunteer regiment in the [First Balkan War](/source/First_Balkan_War). In 1913, Chernopeev was elected as deputy in the [Bulgarian parliament](/source/National_Assembly_(Bulgaria)). During the [First World War](/source/World_War_I) in 1915, he left the parliament and went at the front as a reserve officer. Chernopeev was killed on 6 November 1915 in the [battle of Krivolak](/source/Battle_of_Krivolak) with French troops. He was buried in the courtyard of the church in Novo Selo, now a quarter of [Štip](/source/%C5%A0tip).

After the communists seized power in [Yugoslavia](/source/Yugoslavia) in 1945, the nameplate on his grave was destroyed.[1]

In November 2010 his mortal remains and the remains of ten other Bulgarian officers were еxhumed for unknown circumstances.[2] Later, the authorities in North Macedonia obliterated the graves and a playground was built in their place.[3]
