The Policy of the Communist Party after the 1956 April Plenum and the Questions of Bulgarian Folklore and Folkloristics

Summary/Abstract: The article treats the positive influence of the 1956 April Plenum of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party in the sphere of artistic culture. The author underlines the substantial changes and achievements of our present-day folkloristics and the basic trends in the process of interpreting and promoting our folk arts tradition. He considers the various folklore initiatives of the people, mainly the folklore rallies, the appearance and the development of professional choruses and ensembles and he points out the influx of young talented performers of folklore, the affiliation of the people with the folk arts, their broad popularization, as well as the interest towards folklore on the part of contemporary Bulgarian men of arts.
