Паисий Хилендарски и „кърджалийско време“ - непреминатата граница към иновацията
Paisius of Hilendar and the „kircali period“ - the uncrossed border to innovation

Summary/Abstract: An answer is sought to the question why in the extremely difficult crisis period of Bulgarian history (as part of the history of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the XVIII and the beginning of the XIX century), known as "the Kircali period" it became possible to preserve and extensively spread (through hand-written copies, and not through the already existing technology of book printing) Paisius of Hilendar's "Istoria Slavenobolgarskaya". The entirely positive consequences of this fact for the Bulgarian nation are also explained by the term "virtues of misfortune" introduced by Arnold Toynbee, explaining a key mechanism in the development of civilizations and human societies and communities.
