Vassil Levsky, Bronze bust at Bulgarian Embassy in Kalorama Heights, Washington, D.C., United States

The Vassil Levsky bust stands in front of the Bulgarian Embassy at 1621 22nd Street NW, near Sheridan Circle in Kalorama Heights. It is an author's copy of Vladimir Ginovski's monument in Sofia's Borisova gradina, with Ivan Bitrakov as architect of the composition. The bust carries the inscription "Svoboda i sekimu svoeto" in Bulgarian and "Freedom and to each his own" in English.

In 1995 Bulgarian president Zhelyu Zhelev proposed a monument to Vasil Levski in the United States, and the Vasil Levski Foundation, founded in Sofia in 1991, took up the task. It chose an author's copy of the 1995 Levski monument in Sofia's Borisova gradina. Sculptor Vladimir Ginovski finished the bust in 1996 and attended its unveiling on 18 July 1996, the 159th anniversary of Levski's birth.

The bust carries the motto "Svoboda i sekimu svoeto" in Bulgarian and "Freedom and to each his own" in English. Each year around February 19, the anniversary of Levski's hanging by the Ottomans, Bulgarians living in the U.S. pass through Washington to pay tribute; on July 18, his birthday, embassy staff lay flowers.

The bust stands on the embassy grounds near Sheridan Circle and is visible throughout the year. The location is accessible to pedestrians and situated in a quiet residential area that is easy to reach on foot.

The Library of Congress recognizes this memorial as one of the principal Slavic and Central European cultural landmarks in Washington. This designation makes it a notable marker of Bulgarian presence and remembrance in the American capital.
