Meetings of the revolutionary committee were held in his house. Troyanov was chairman of the steering committee. When the uprising broke out in Bratsigovo, he was at the forefront of the struggle. After the village was surrounded by the Turks and began to take it over, he surrendered in the hope that the Turks would have mercy on the villagers.
