Summary/Abstract: The text is part of a diary kept by eng. Yurdan Danchov, who in the period 1942–1945 was the first rector of the Higher Technical School (University) in Sofia. Records from August 1944 to May 1945 were selected, which reflected the public mood on the eve of the Soviet Army's approach to the Bulgarian borders and the looming political change in the country. Also the situation immediately after the coup of September 9, 1944 and the activity of normalizing the educational process were selected. Additionally, the constant attacks by representatives of the new government in order to seize the leadership of the School and to carry out a political purge were selected. The diary provides significant information not only about personal attitudes and public moods, the current ideological atmosphere and changing agenda, but also about the behavior of individual professional groups, the mixing of ideological and career motives and more.
