Alexander Exarch (, 1810 â 27 September 1891) was a Bulgarian revivalist, publicist and journalist, and an active participant in the struggle for an independent Bulgarian Exarchate.
In 1841, he accompanied as a translator Jérôme-Adolphe Blanqui, sent by the French government to investigate the consequences of the Nià ¡ rebellion (1841). Blanqui reflects it in his diary as Bulgarian, pointing to Nià ¡ as the capital of Bulgaria. He strongly opposed the insinuation of Ioannis Kolettis (at that time the Greek ambassador to Paris) that the uprising was Greek. In 1842 - 1846, he sent several memoirs (memos) to the Western European governments to improve the situation of the Bulgarians.
With financial assistance from Russia, he published in Constantinople the Bulgarian âÂÂConstantinople newspaperâ (1848 - 1862), and served as editor-in-chief 1850 and 1860.
After the Liberation of Bulgaria he was twice a candidate for Head of State (Prince) of Bulgaria (1879, 1886).
