  Abstract:

  Midhat Pasha, the Governor-General of the Danube Vilayet, managed to unravel the complex knot of the Svishtov Adventure of May 1867 thanks to the betrayal of Yordan Gergitsov, who was one of the main organizers. Several dozens of young people from Svishtov, who were sentenced to exile in Diyarbakir, were pardoned prematurely with the decisive intercession of the Grand Vizier Midhat Pasha. In the proposed text, the Svishtov Adventure is viewed as a story full of lessons and teachings about betrayal, punishment and storytelling.
