*the Author is Requesting political asylum, also needs help in evacuating him and his works of art, library, archive and atelier equipment out of bulgaristan, formally known as the country of "bulgaria", to some place that is as far away from muslims, jews, freemasons and bulgarians, as possible! - Hope all bulgarian cops bury their children.
Boris Yordanov Kovachev – born in 1980 at the City of Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

Graduated from these elite schools, each with more than 100 years of history:
OU “Aleko Konstantinov” Plovdiv and GHP “Sv.Sv. Kiril and Metodii” Plovdiv.

Boris is a dental technician with over 10 years of specialized professional experience. In 1999, after performing admirably at the qualifying examinations, Mr. Kovachev is accepted as a dentistry student at the-then Faculty of Stomatology, Higher Medical Institute of Plovdiv (later renamed into Faculty of Dental Medicine, Medical University of Plovdiv). During his education there, in order to financially support his family and himself, Boris starts an internship, and later attains constant employment, as a dental technician at a private dental laboratory in the city of Plovdiv, while continuing to attend the heavy and strict program curricular of the SF HMI. During his 4th year of clinical dental education, he transfers to the Medical College of Plovdiv (as part of the same university) and in 2004 graduates with a diploma of “Dental technician”. This is a deeply personal and sincere choice, since Boris finds the laboratory side of dental work to be highly diverse and far more creative. Said creativity is actively sought after and explored by Mr. Kovachev, not merely in his daily professional work, but in his self-funded scientific research as well. His original written articles, containing personal technological innovations and rationalizations, have been published in a large number of specialized magazines and newspapers on Dental technology – both in Bulgaria and abroad:
