Толстоизмът и обществените организации в България през първата половина на ХХ век
Tolstoyism and Public Organizations in Bulgaria during the First Half of the ХХ Century

Summary/Abstract: Tolstoyism as a teaching with its anti military line, with its preaching about fraternal love and unity, with its ethic religious feeling which is an upbringing tool, with the vegetarian way of life which priorities have been demonstrated by its followers, wins disciples in Bulgaria in the first decades of 20th century. A number of organizations were set up and started functioning under the influence of these ideas – Bulgarian vegetarian union, temperance societies and unions, Esperanto movement, pacific movement – which contributed to its broader social support. But Tolstoyism could not survive in the epoch of sharp political collisions because it teaches beautiful but helpless ethics. Today its ideas are subjected to analysis and discussions.
