Summary/Abstract: The State Protection Law remains one of the most discussed laws in the history of Bulgarian legal life. Created in the context of the post-war tragic situation into which the country has fallen, it aims both to prevent the formation of organizations that were detrimental to the existing state and social order and to eliminate possible anti-state activities in the realm. What happens in practice is the misuse of this law, which leads to its use for bloody political and inter-party strife and, to a more limited extent as intended, to curb subversive activities in the state. This article, however, will deal with its legal nature rather than its historical meaning and implications.
