Summary/Abstract: Rayna Kanazireva is one of the most remarkable women in the history of the town of Razlog and the Razlog area, a member of a prominent Bulgarian family, that actively participated in the liberation movement of the Bulgarians from Macedonia. She is known above all as the Bulgarian woman who sewed the flag for the insurgents of the Ilinden Preobrazhenie Uprising in the town of Mechomia (nowadays Razlog) in 1903, but this is far from exhausting her activities. The article primarily traces her difficult life path, filled with many vicissitudes and personal tragedies. These aspects of her life remain unknown not only to the general public, but also to specialists. In parallel, Raina Kanazireva’s activities as an intellectual and public figure were revealed.
