Summary/Abstract: Dedicated to the 180th anniversary of the birth of Vassil Levski, this collection gathers in one place the research efforts of literary writers and historians. The aim is tracing the way of the narrative about the historical personality to the sacred status of the national icon of the Apostle. The achieving of this scientific task intertwines the poetry of the "canonization strategist" (Hristo Botev), the words of today's lyricists, the memory of the associates, the "written by the hand of the Apostle", the results of an Olympiad in Taraklia (Moldova), the English press, the today’s children book and even the name of a mystical regiment The research efforts face the mystery of Apostle’s path into and out of monasticism, the words of veterans and philosophers, the ode and the rhapsody, the camera and the paint brush, the sound and the letter... To draw a never-ending journey, that will forever - and everywhere, accompany the Bulgarian spirit.

- Keywords:asil Levski; Hristo Botev; Ivan Vazov; heroic epic; masonic hymn; holy space
- Summary/Abstract:The text attempts to reconstruct the beginning of the Bulgarian heroic epic. The author believes that the structure of the author‘s epic was invented by Hristo Botev and was later extended by Ivan Vazov. Vasil Levski‘s figure is met in both poets, but while Vazov writes the live of the Deacon like a saint, Botev carries out his literary canonization according to all ritual procedures and turns it into the Bulgarian Jesus.

- Summary/Abstract:The paper discusses the models of memory, which the cycle of odes “Epopee of the Forgotten” by the Bulgarian poet Ivan Vazov and the cycle “Rhapsodies of the Bulgarian Gusle-player” by the Slovenian poet Anton Ashkertz offer to the respective national audiences. The analysis bounces off the provocation of the mutual “dislike” of Ashkertz and Vazov so as to project through the textual juxtaposition of the shared by the two poets literary icon of “Vasil Levski” the different functionality of their means of expression

- Keywords:1898; Bulgaria; Vasil Levski; jubilee; press; political trends;socio-cultural stereotypes
- Summary/Abstract:The year 1898 marked the first jubilee of Vasil Levski – 25 years since his hanging. The dynamics of political processes in liberated Bulgaria at the time present a rather interesting and particularly complex picture against the background of which this event unfolded. The stereotype of jubilee celebrations was yet to consolidate and this particular occasion – the anniversary since the death of the Apostle of freedom – makes visible the deep political contradictions inherited from previous historical realities. The manifestations of these contradictions can be seen in the press in 1898.

- Keywords:Vasil Levski; British daily and weekly press; national hero; state iconisation
- Summary/Abstract:The paper examines for the first time the initial reception of Vasil Levski’s image and significance in the British daily and weekly press in the period 1867 – 1908. Commencing with a curious case of the first appearance of his name in the British press, the paper focusses further on press contributions reporting on a series of Bulgarian state ceremonies and commemorative events that, on the one hand, function as rituals of state iconisation of the Bulgarian national hero Vasil Levski and, on the other hand, exploit his high status for political purposes. In its final part the paper presents the first critical voices in the British press against the political instrumentalisation of Vasil Levski’s image in Bulgaria.

- Summary/Abstract:The essay attempts to juxtapose and analyze the divergent and often contradictory stories accompanying Vasil Kunchev’s path into and out of monasticism, his subsequent religiosity, and his Christian consciousness. It outlines the image of a man experiencing doubts and inner conflicts but preserving his faith. His letters and proclamations clearly reveal how the knowledge of Christianity he had received and his life of faith shaped his revolutionary philosophy.

- Summary/Abstract:e need to segregate the true historic personality of Vasil Levski in his undisputed role and pivotal mission of Bulgarian national hero, from the mythical images created by the idiosyncratic viewpoints in different sociopolitical layers of time. The text duly justifies the need to rediscover the real personality of the Bulgarian Apostle of Freedom. The academic study follows the ideological transition of Vasil Levski from conservative nationalism, towards the liberating revolutionary nationalism of the Bulgarian Revival period. The study takes into consideration the indirect ideological impact of Giuseppe Mazzini over Vasil Levski, and follows up the unique application of the Mazzinist concepts of revolutionary nationalism in the specific Bulgarian conditions.

- Summary/Abstract:The article at hand deals with projections of Vasil Levski’s image in the self-consciousness of Bessarabian Bulgarians. The resettlement to Bessarabia took place long before the formation of Bulgarian semiological system and significantly prior to the appearance of the Vasil Levski culturologem as its substantial construct. Even though historically the diaspora has come a long way full of assimilation threats with public education in Bulgarian only becoming possible by the end of 1980’s, and the cultural processes together with the interethnic environment being very different from those in the metropolis, still the ethnocultural coordinate system of the young generation of Bessarabian Bulgarians (revealed by means of a directed associative experiment) holds the image of Vasil Levski as a key culturologem for the Bulgarian segment of personosphere of the 10th generation of Bulgarian immigrants in Bessarabia.

- Summary/Abstract:The current publication presents the activity of the Vasil Levski National Museum aimed at achieving two important tasks.The first task is the formation of a truthful idea of the personality of Vasil Levski in the youngest visitors of the museum, aimed at creating a sound basis for the development of further knowledge of his personality and his role in Bulgarian history. This task is being realized by two books targeted at children and pupils, producedby the museum, as well as the work of the museum’s children center. The second task is popularizing the personality of Vasil Levski as one of the greatest European revolutionaries of the 19th century among the international audience.The emphasis here are two museum editions – a book for Levski translated in eight languages and a book (in Bulgarian only) about the greatest European revolutionaries and thinkers among his contemporaries, at the time when he lived and fought for Bulgarian freedom and for his democratic ideas.
