Summary/Abstract: The topic on the article is Bulgarian political emigration in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (SHS). They were followers of Alexander Stamboliski and the Bulgarian Communist Party. Emigration was formed after a coup in Bulgaria on the 9 th June 1923 (agrarian emigrants) and a unsuccessful communist revolution on September of the same year (Communist emigrants). They become political refugees in the Kingdom of SHS, since it has been an opponent to the new Bulgarian government. The leaders of the agrarian emigration (Rayko Daskalov, Kosta Todorov, Alexander Obov) immediately formed a political organization. The organization’s most important center was Belgrade runned by the Kosta Todorov. The agrarian emigrants in the Kingdom of SHS created the secret Revolutionary committee. The aim of this committee was to overthrow Bulgarian government, and therefore they have entered into an alliance with the Communists. They even received weapons and other aid from the government of the Kingdom of SHS. Later, they made several attacks on the territory of Bulgaria, operating from the territory of the Kingdom of SHS. Their organization disintegrated in the spring of the 1925 following the disputes among the agrarian emigration leaders. After the 1925, the Bulgarian emigration started to be a problem in relationship between the Kingdom of SHS and Bulgaria, and follwoing it lost its role in foreign policy of the Kingdom of SHS.
