Провокации срещу културната мисия на д-р Албърт Лонг
Provocations Against the Cultural Mission of Dr. Albert Long

Summary/Abstract: The paper, on one hand, outlines Dr. Long's contribution to Bulgarian culture – sup-port for the Сhurch issue, translation and editing of literature, including the Bible in the New Bulgarian language, support of Bulgarian students for their studies at Robert College, defense of the National cause after the suppression of the April Uprising. On the other hand, it pays special attention to the obstacles to his mission and the provo-cations by the Greek Patriarchate, the Russian Vice-Consulate, the Constantinople censorship and the later attempts to ignore what he achieved. Such actions distort the image of the American missionary's educational efforts, and the paper presents ar-chival materials and publications revealing the motivations and intentions behind them.
