Summary/Abstract: Political changes in 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe, though called forth by similar social and economic conditions, had fundamentally different historical, psychological, and functional characteristics. There are three basic internal-political factors which led to changes within the political system in Bulgaria: political ambitions within the ruling elite, ethnic conflicts in the ea-stern parts of the country, and social dissatisfaction which was most prominent among intellectual circles. Unlike other eastern European countries, in Bulgaria the dissident movement was not strong until the end of the 1980s and the influence of traditional bourgeois parties and the political emigration on everyday life in the country before 1990 was likewise rather limited. This article presents the historiographical research done on this theme in Bulgaria to this point in time.
