You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Dimitar Yanev Stanchov''', sometimes transliterated as '''Dimitri Stancioff''' (((lang-bg|Димитър Янев Станчов))) (21 May 1863, in [[Svishtov]] – 23 March 1940, in [[Sofia]]), was a [[Bulgaria]]n diplomat and politician who briefly served as [[List of Prime Ministers of Bulgaria|Prime Minister]].

==Early life==
Stanchov came from a leading family of Bulgarian merchants who had lived for three generations in [[Svishtov]], although they had originated in [[Berat]].<ref>Mari Agop Firkatian, ''Diplomats and Dreamers: The Stancioff Family in Bulgarian History'', University Press of America, 2008, pp. 13-14</ref> The third of four children, his family was rich but non-aristocratic and were closely associated with support for Bulgaria as an independent state rather than a vassal of the [[Ottoman Empire]].<ref>Firkatian, ''Diplomats and Dreamers'', p. 14</ref> Stanchov was educated at the [[Theresianum]] in [[Vienna]] and following his graduation entered the diplomatic service rather than the career in business that had initially been envisaged for him.<ref>Firkatian, ''Diplomats and Dreamers'', pp. 14-15</ref> Both as a result of what he learned in the education system of the [[Austria-Hungary|Habsburg Empire]] and due to his enthusiasm for Bulgaria's new independence under her own monarch the young Stanchov became a staunch and lifelong royalist.<ref>Firkatian, ''Diplomats and Dreamers'', p. 15</ref>

==Diplomatic  and political career==
[[File:BASA-600K-3-451-1-Dimitar Stanchov, 1896.jpg|thumbnail|right|250px|Stanchov in 1896]]
Stanchov first came to prominence in 1887 when [[Ferdinand I of Bulgaria]] as modern Bulgaria's second prince and the head of the Theresianum recommended Stanchov to him for the role of the prince's private secretary, Ferdinand requiring someone who was equally comfortable in his native [[German language|German]] as well as [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]].<ref>Firkatian, ''Diplomats and Dreamers'', p. 20</ref>

On October 15th, 1896 he was appointed Diplomatic Agent to the Court of the Czar Nicholas II of Russia, thus becoming Bulgaria's first representative to that court.<ref>Nadejda Muir, "Patriot and Cosmopolitan", p. 73, published by John Murray Ltd, 1957 London</ref> Stanchov remained at his post in Saint Petersburg until January 31 1907, when he was succeeded as Bulgarian Minister in Russia by General Stefan Paprikov.<ref>"Patriot and Cosmopolitan", p. 107</ref>

During his stint in St. Petersburg, Stanchov was chosen by the Bulgarian Government as his county's representative to the [[Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907|1899 Hague Peace Conference]]<ref>"Patriot and Cosmopolitan", p. 84</ref> which began on May 18th of that year where his primary contributions   concerned the limitations of armaments inherently imposed by larger nations on smaller ones, as well as Article 27, the Convention on the Permanent Court.<ref>Arthur Eyffinger, "The 1899 Hague Peace Conference: ’The Parliament of Man, the Federation of the World.’" p. 195. The Hague, London, Boston: Kluwer Law International, 1999</ref> 

He served as ambassador to [[France]] from 1908 to 1915<ref>Aubrey Herbert, ''Albania's Greatest Friend: Aubrey Herbert and the Making of Modern Albania: Diaries and Papers 1904-1923'', IB Tauris, 2011, p. 117</ref> although he interrupted his service during the [[First Balkan War]] to enrol in the [[Bulgarian Army]]. Although his duties mostly involved dealing with overseas journalists who were reporting on the war he was awarded a medal for bravery during a brief spell of frontline action near [[Salonika]].<ref>Firkatian, ''Diplomats and Dreamers'', p. 109</ref> Other ambassadorial roles he held included to the [[United Kingdom]] (1908 and 1920–1921), [[Belgium]] (1910–1915 and 1922–1924), [[Italy]] (1915) and the [[Netherlands]] (1922–1924).

Stanchov was acting Prime Minister from 12 to 16 March 1907 following the [[assassination]] of [[Dimitar Petkov]] and before the accession of [[Petar Gudev]].<ref>[http://rulers.org/rulb2.html#bulgaria Rulers - Bulgaria]</ref> He also served as foreign minister in two cabinets. He actively opposed Bulgaria's entry in [[World War I]], for which he was temporarily removed from duty. In 1919, after Bulgaria's defeat, he was the secretary of the Bulgarian delegation at the signing of the [[Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine]]. He resigned from his diplomatic positions in 1924 due to disagreements with the right-wing policies of [[Aleksandar Tsankov]]'s cabinet.

From 1925 to 1929 Stanchov was president of the [[Bulgarian Olympic Committee]].<ref>[http://www.bgolympic.org/cgi-bin/e-cms/vis/vis.pl?s=001&p=0013&n=000008&g= Председатели на БОК] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120717222431/http://www.bgolympic.org/cgi-bin/e-cms/vis/vis.pl?s=001&p=0013&n=000008&g= |date=2012-07-17 ))</ref>

==Personal life==
Stanchov married the French noblewoman [[Anna de Grenaud]] (1861-1955), [[Mistress of the Robes]] at the Bulgarian Royal Court, in 1889 and they had five children: Alexander (1890-1891), Nadezhda (1894-1957), Feodora (1895-1969), Ivan (1897-1972) and Helene (1901-1996).<ref name="Mari13">Firkatian, ''Diplomats and Dreamers'', p. 13</ref> One of the couple's daughters, [[Nadezhda Stanchova Muir]], became Bulgaria's first woman on diplomatic service during the 1910s and 1920s with her brother Ivan also a leading diplomat.<ref name="Mari13"/> In 1957 Stanchova Muir published a hagiographical biography of her father ''Dmitri Stancioff, Patriot and Cosmopolitan''.<ref>Frederick B. Chary, ''The History of Bulgaria'', ABC-CLIO, 2011, p. 195</ref> Marion Mitchell (Stancioff) Stanchov, who was an [[United States of America|American]] by birth, left Bulgaria in 1942 and eventually settled in [[Urbana, Maryland]] with her husband Ivan Stanchov .<ref>Ezra Pound, Olivia Rossetti Agresti, Demetres P. Tryphonopoulos, Leon Surette, ''I Cease Not to Yowl: Ezra Pound's Letters to Olivia Rossetti Agresti'', University of Illinois Press, 1998, p. 288</ref> Another relative, Poliksaniia (1867-1947), was the wife of [[Stefan Stambolov]].<ref>Duncan M. Perry, ''Stefan Stambolov and the Emergence of Modern Bulgaria: 1870-1895'', Duke University Press, 1993, p. 31</ref>

A grandson, [[Ivan Stanchov]], served as ambassador of Bulgaria to the United Kingdom and to Ireland (1991–1994) and as minister of foreign affairs in [[Reneta Indzhova]]'s [[caretaker government]] (October 1994–January 1995).
