Alianța româno-bulgară în lupta comună pentru emancipare națională: 150 de ani de la moartea revoluționarului bulgar Vasil Levschi și testamentul său politic (19 februarie 1873)
The Romanian-Bulgarian Alliance in the Common Struggle for National Emancipation: 150 Years since the Death of the Bulgarian Revolutionary Vasil Levski and His Political Testament (February 19, 1873)

Summary/Abstract: The Bulgarian national liberation movement from mid-19th century was closely connected to Romania and to the Romanian political and cultural personalities who welcomed all neighbouring revolutionary migrants with open arms. The entire Romanian society, who shared the aspirations for national liberation of our southern neighbours, helped the Bulgarian revolutionaries, who were provided accommodation, financial aid, school premises and possibilities to print in the native language newspapers, magazines, school textbooks, theatre scripts, manifestos, etc. The leaders of this movement, including Vasil Levski, were in close contact with their Bulgarian compatriots from Romania, but also with Romanian revolutionaries and people of culture. He became famous for his attempts to organize on the territory of Bulgaria secret revolutionary bodies with a high level of ideological and political training, which would take over and direct the entire internal revolutionary activity and stir up a general uprising. His plans were largely carried out, but his early death caused the disintegration of the entire political platform he had built. The democratic, liberal ideas influenced by the French revolution, as well as its political and strategic conceptions, inspired the next generation of revolutionaries.
