Vladimir Ivanov Georgiev was a prominent Bulgarian linguist, philologist, and educational administrator. He has made multiple contributions to the field of Thracology, which include a linguistic interpretation of an inscription discovered at the village of Kyolmen in the Shoumen district of northwestern Bulgaria. In the 1960's, Georgiev examined the names of the twenty-six largest rivers of central and eastern Europe. He believed that the names were reconstructible to Proto-Indo-European. He concluded that the Indo-European homeland was delimited on the west by the Rhine river and to the east by the Don river.
