Biography

Hristo Pavlov Shkodrov was a Social Democrat, journalist and prominent trade unionist appointed chair of Plovdiv's three-member municipal commission on 26 September 1919. His term belongs to the unstable postwar municipal administration: a Regional History Museum Plovdiv study of interwar political life describes how, after Stefan Gevgalov's resignation in 1919, several temporary commission chairs followed one another for only a month or two, including Pavlov, who was replaced on 11 November by Hariton Kuev. In 2014 Pod Tepeto reported that Dimitar Raychev supplied researcher Katerina Chobanova with archival photographic material of Pavlov, filling the blank in her collection of Plovdiv mayor portraits. Another Regional History Museum Plovdiv study notes that after his death the municipality decided he should be buried at municipal expense.

Officially listed mayoral term in Plovdiv Municipality's mayor archive: 26 September – 11 November 1919.
