Biography
He was born in the small town of Kadiivka, Ukraine, to a family of Bulgarian immigrants. In 1936, he and his family returned to Bulgaria, where Filipov studied at Lovech High School.Шаблон:Citation needed Although he spoke the Bulgarian language fluently he did so with a heavy Russian accent, a fact that would make him somewhat unpopular amongst the wider Bulgarian population in later years.[1] From 1938 to 1940 he was a student at Sofia University.Шаблон:Citation needed He became a member of the Bulgarian Communist Party in 1940 and took an active part in the anti-fascist struggle of the Bulgarian students, for which he was arrested in 1942 and sentenced first to 12 and then to 15 years in prison.Шаблон:Citation needed After the fall of fascism in 1944 he held politically sensitive posts and graduated in industrial economy and trade in Moscow (1951).Шаблон:Citation needed He became a member of the Central Committee of the BCP in 1966, and in 1974, a member of the Politburo.Шаблон:Citation needed From 1971 to 1981 and from 1986 to 1989 he was a member of the State Council of Bulgaria. Filipov became recognised as a leading economic expert in the Bulgarian government and became associated with the tendency that was sympathetic towards economic liberalisation.[2]
Filipov was very close to Todor Zhivkov and was regularly touted as a potential successor.[3] A leading member of the Politburo, he formed the 77th Bulgarian government on 16 June 1981 following elections to the National Assembly.[4] He held the post until 21 March 1986 when Zhivkov replaced him with Georgi Atanasov. The move, which took place against the backdrop of reforms being brought in by Mikhail Gorbachev, was characterised as a cosmetic gesture aimed to create the illusion of change rather than a Bulgarian version of glasnost and perestroika.[5]
After the fall of the socialist system in 1989 he was removed from all political posts and on 24 April 1990 he was expelled from the BCP.Шаблон:Citation needed
On 14 July 1992, Filipov was arrested on charges of misappropriation of state funds,[6] but was released a short time later on health grounds. He died in 1994 before he could be brought to trial.[7]
