Vlado Chernozemski (Bulgarian:Владо Черноземски) (19 October 1897 – 9 October 1934), born Velichko Dimitrov Kerin (Bulgarian:Величко Димитров Керин), was a Bulgarian revolutionary. Also known as "Vlado the Chauffeur" Chernozemski is considered a hero in Bulgaria today, and in his time, in Croatian circles and in Macedonian Bulgarian diaspora. His contribution to the independence of Macedonia has also won him a similar status in some ethnic Macedonian circles today.
