Life
During the communist period, Bakardzhiev received an education in a technical field, specializing in Industrial and Civil Construction.
In the 1990s, following the beginning of the democratic transition, he entered politics as part of the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union "Nikola Petkov" (Bulgarian: Българския земеделски народен съюз „Никола Петков“) and later became an influential member of the UDF, characterized as being among the "third wave" politicians in the party. Bakardzhiev was a deputy in the 38th and 39th National Parliaments.
In November 2001, following criticisms leveled at the UDF leadership, he was expelled from the party. On 1 December 2001, Bakardzhiev established the Bulgarian Democratic Union "Radicals" (Bulgarian: Български демократичен съюз "Радикали").
Bakardzhiev has been married three times. In addition to his native Bulgarian, he is conversant in Russian and English.
