He returned to Bratsigovo and worked for the culture advancement of the inhabitants. He is responsible for the creation of the Trundafil School in 1874, of which he was the president.
On the eve of the uprising, lasting from April 14 to April 16, the members from the fourth revolutionary command, including Vasil Petleshkov, convened the historical event in the Oborishte region.
