Life

Hadzhidimov was born on 19 February 1875 in Gorno Brodi, Ottoman Empire, now located in Serres regional unit, Greece. He studied pedagogy in Kyustendil and then in Sofia, Bulgaria. At that time he was a member of the Bulgarian Workers' Social Democratic Party. After that he worked as a teacher in the Bulgarian schools in Dupnitsa and later in Samokov. He also participated in Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising. After the Young Turks revolution he returned to Macedonia and was one of the founders of the People's Federative Party (Bulgarian Section). After 1909 he went back to Sofia, where Hadzhidimov joined the Bulgarian Social Democratic Workers' Party (Narrow Socialists). During the Balkan Wars and WWI Hadzhidimov was a Bulgarian sergeant. After the First World War he was elected as a member of Bulgarian Parliament from the Bulgarian Communist Party. He was assassinated by right-wing IMRO activist Vlado Chernozemski in Sofia in 1924. His surname was given to Zhostovo village (now a town since 1996) in Blagoevgrad Province in 1951; It was renamed as Hadzhidimovo.
