THE “MACEDONIANS” AND THE MALENINI
My grandparents came from two families – the Malenini and the “Macedonians”.
My grandfather Kostadin was from the so-called Macedonian family. His father Georgi was a builder and came to Northern Bulgaria from the Southwest, the Velingrad region, hence the nickname. He took an interest in grandmother Todora and they got married. My grandfather Kostadin and his sister Slavka were born from that marriage. After a while, Georgi fell from a building and died. Grandmother Todora remarried and another two brothers were born, Ivan and Iliya.
My grandmother Vassa was from the Malenini family. Her father, [great-]grandfather Georgi, had fought in the First World War. I do remember him, he had a wound on his leg. My grandmother Vassa had seven children: Pena, Marikya, Vassa, Iliya, Petar, Ivan, and Boris.
Three of my grandmother’s brothers were very intelligent men and she was very proud of them. Ivan Malenin was the director of the Vine and Wine Institute in Pleven. Boris Malenin worked at the Ministry of the Interior in Sofia, and Peter Malenin was a test pilot.
Mama Vassa (I called her Mama) was born on 1 January 1907 and died on 10 May 2001. Papa (my grandfather) Kostadin was born on 15 November 1905 and died in May 1985.
