Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with Pencho Slaveikov’s letters to Mara Belcheva, which he sent during his journey in Russia in 1909. It shows the Bulgarian poet’s attitude to Russian Orthodox Christianity. The author draws the conclusion that the main reasons for Pencho Slaveikov’s negative attitude are his esthetic individualism and the fact that he could not accept the interrelation between Orthodoxy, Slavophillia and Russian imperial policy.
