Manol Vassev (1898 — 1958 March 12) was a popular Bulgarian militant anarcho-trade unionist and a living symbol of resistance of both fascism and Bolshevism. He also spent several years in Stalinist concentration camps before his prison years. He was poisoned by his prison guards one day before his scheduled release.

Manol Vassev was an anarcho-syndicalist who, as a factory worker, fought clandestinely most of his life, agitating, initiating and carrying out strikes and fights under the name Vassev. After arrests and being thrown in prison — whether by the fascist or Bolshevik regimes — he would emerge only to immediately begin the struggle anew.

The Stalinist regime sent him to concentration camps for several years, then to prison where they murdered him rather than let him out yet again.
