In this recurring series, <strong>On This Day in Bulgaria<\/strong>, we look back at notable events, decisions, and milestones that happened on this date across the country&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>October 28, 1877 &#8212; Battle of Telish<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Russian forces stormed the Ottoman redoubt at Telish, west of Pleven, capturing it after a fierce engagement.

The armistice confirmed Soviet predominance over Bulgaria&#8217;s political and military affairs, and set the framework for the post-war settlement.
