In the 1970s, Tomov was a student at the UNWE and Leningrad University. He completed his primary, secondary and university education with excellent marks. In 1984, Tomov earned a doctoral degree in the field of economics. Tomov has made specializations in political science and macroeconomics in Sofia and London.
In addition to his political career, Tomov has also worked as a professor and lecturer in the political science department (of which he is one of the founders in 1985) at Sofia University. He has further taught courses at the Karl Marx Institute of Economics in Sofia. Tomov has authored six books. In 1995, Tomov was appointed as the director of the EastWest Institute in New York City for a period of three years.
In 1990, Tomov was elected to the 7th Grand National Assembly of Bulgaria as a member of the Bulgarian Socialist Party. He was also a member of the 36th and 38th National Parliaments. Tomov served as Deputy-Prime Minister in the Dimitar Popov government, the first one since the collapse of the communist system in 1989.
In 1993, he established the Citizens' Union for the Republic (Bulgarian: Гражданско обединение за републиката), which was initially not envisioned as a political party. However, it evolved into the Bulgarian Euro-Left in 1997.
