SOFIA, Bulgaria\u2014Poet and screenwriter Konstantin Pavlov, who became one of Bulgaria’s most prominent intellectuals with his rare defiance of the country’s communist regime, has died, a filmmakers union said. He was 75.<\/p>\n

Pavlov died Sunday after a long illness, the Union of Bulgarian Film Makers announced.<\/p>\n

He was among the few Bulgarian intellectuals who dared to assert their professional independence during the 1945-89 communist regime. Pavlov gained popularity despite censors imposing a decade-long publishing ban against him in 1966, with Bulgarians clandestinely copying and reading his poems.<\/p>\n

His poems have been translated into many European languages and he has been recognized with a number of national awards for poetry and literature.<\/p>\n

Some of his most popular volumes of poetry are “Sweet Agony” (1991), “The Murder of the Sleeping Man” (1992) and “A Long Time Ago…” (1998).<\/p>\n

In 1980, he was granted the Grand Prix at the Karlovy Vary film festival for his screenplay of the film “Illusion”.<\/p>\n

Pavlov was born on April 2, 1933, in a small village near the capital, Sofia.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his wife Maria and his daughter Donka. The funeral will be held Tuesday in Sofia.<\/span><\/p>\n
