Към историята на Българското тайно революционно братство в Турция (1897 – 1899)

Author(s): Todor Radev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

The study addresses specific problems related to the establishment, the development and the cessation of the Bulgarian secret revolutionary fraternity in Turkey. Special attention is paid to existing hypotheses that the Thessaloniki-based organization is a conspiracy concept of the Bulgarian Exarchate, the Bulgarian trade agent Atanas Shopov or the Sofia Supreme Macedonian Committee. However, these hypotheses are not supported by evidence in the historical sources. The version suggested here puts forward the well-grounded position that the birth of the Secret Fraternity is an initiative of teachers at the Bulgarian Male High School in Thessaloniki, who decided to oppose to the propaganda of the Internal Macedonian-Edirne Revolutionary Organization that was continuously deteriorating the school discipline among the students. New historical sources for this unsuccessful irredentist project are presented and analyzed accordingly.

Неизвестни връзки на Марин Дринов с просветните борби на българите от Вардарска Македония (70-те години на XIX век)

Author(s): Elena Hadzhinikolova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1-2/2015

Marin Drinov took an interest in the educational movement of the Bulgarians in Vardar Macedonia in 1876. Then he published folk songs, created in the region of Debar. Drinov took up this position because he wanted to study the folklore of the Bulgarians in Macedonia. On the other hand he used this to fight against the falsification of the Bulgarian language in Serbia. Drinov collected the songs at Galichnik – the village where archimandrite Partenie Zografski was born. This Bulgarian cleric took part in the church movement in Macedonia. Archimandrite Partenie also studied the Bulgarian Macedonian dialect. He supported the existence of this dialect. On the other hand Drinov chose Galichnik because this region attracted Russia’s attention on the Bulgarian Church Question in Macedonia. In conclusion one may say that Drinov also wanted to make a study of the Bulgarian Macedonian dialect. Thus he defended the Bulgarian church educational movement in Vardar Macedonia.

Дарителят Козма Тричков

Author(s): Antoaneta Kirilova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1-2/2015

The article examines the will (1867) of the Bulgarian donor Kozma Trichkov, who was born in Vratsa, but capitalized on business in the Danubian principalities in the first half and the middle of the nineteenth century. Based on extensive documentary material the author traces in detail all actions of the Bulgarian Band of Virtues in the implementation of the will notably in that part which concerns public affairs and initiatives – enlightenment and social charity. The author finds the young people who studied in local and foreign educational institutions with financial support from K. Trichkov’s donations. She traces the movement of money – interest from capital and real estate intended for maintenance of Vratsa schools. A. Kirilova also pays special attention to the changes that occurred in the work on the implementation of the will after the restoration of the Bulgarian state (1878) and especially after the death of E. Georgiev (1897) and the dissolution of the Band of Virtues (1901), when the powers on the implementation of the donor’s will were gradually transmitted from the Band into the hands of state institutions.

Видинският Варош и канун-и серхад (към отношенията между християни и мюсюлмани на османската военна граница през първата половина на ХVІІІ в.)

Author(s): Svetlana Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3-4/2015

The relations between Christians and Muslims and between their social structures in Vidin in the 18th century are in the focus of the study and its cornerstone is a key Ottoman document from 1719. The case leads to the consequences of the war between the Ottomans and the Holy League (1683–1699), the devastation of Vidin and radical change of its urban structure, accompanied by a reallocation of the population. Vidin once again became part of the military border (“serhad“), the Ottomans finished building a new fortress around the city in about 1722. The soldiers there were Janissaries. They sent to the Porte a statement asking the government to make the Christians sell their properties and move out of the fortress. The argument is that everybody has to comply with the requirements of the law of the military border “kanun-i serhad“ and it does not allow Christians to remain in the fortress; the houses of the Christian Raya must be sold without violence through an auction organized by the kadi court of military officers from the garrisons and other Muslims. Then the article focuses on the main issues examined on the base of Ottoman documents and in comparison with the situation in other towns in today’s Bulgarian lands: the impact that the events of the late seventeenth century and the first quarter of the eighteenth century had on the urban planning of Vidin and the distribution of the confessional groups in it; basic social personages, related to the case; Varosh as intra-urban toponym, but also as an institution intermediary between the Ottoman Empire and the Christian citizenship in Vidin; the acute „fight“ for the possession of the land in Vidin and its region; possible interpretations of the phrase „kanun-i serhad“ and legal administrative practices it stood for. The study of these issues will allow us to reveal the mutual influence between the location of the 18th century Ottoman Vidin on the border of the empire and its urban, confessional, and social structure.

Найден Геров и Драган Цанков в лабиринтите на въпроса: Българската уния

Author(s): Antoaneta Kirilova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3-4/2015

Based on known and newly found documents the author traces the specific actions taken by the Russian diplomacy to abolish the Bulgarian Union in the middle of the 19th century. The main role in this task was assigned to the Russian consular agent in Plovdiv Nayden Gerov. The article highlights the activity of N. Gerov and D. Tsankov and presents their opinions on how to solve the Bulgarian Church Issue showing clearly the difference in the positions of the two prominent figures of the Bulgarian national movement. One of them was a Russian diplomat who was obliged under his official position to follow Russia’s policy towards the Bulgarian-Greek religious strife, which coincided with his personal beliefs to solve the Issue within the traditional Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox. The other was a Bulgarian journalist, politician and public figure offering to Bulgarians a union with the Roman Catholic Church as the way out of the tangled religious issue. The author tries to give a reasoned answer to the question which is a major focus of this article: What did the Bulgarian union achieve for the national movement in the mid-19th century and in this sense – was it its well thought out, far-sighted and politically justified „alternative“?

La politique de la Bulgarie visant à stimuler le peuplement du pays et se reflétant dans la législation Bulgare après la libération (1879–1912)

Author(s): Mario Aleksandrov / Language(s): French Issue: 3-4/2015

The paper reveals the formation of the concept in Bulgaria’s laws in the period 1878–1912, related to the stimulating the settlements in the country. Starting with the Constitution, the author examines some basic laws connected with the implementation of this aim such as the Law on Population of Uninhabited Lands in Bulgaria (1880), the several versions of the Law of Acquisition of Bulgarian Citizenship as well as the legislation connected with the settling of the refugees. Particular groups of laws were targeted to different categories of population abroad with regard to attracting them to the Bulgarian Principality. For the realization of this policy the legislators set out mainly encouraging measures of economic and political nature, with the dominance of those of economic character. The main tendency in reflecting this political concept in the envisaged laws was to gradually expand the opportunities for attracting potential settlers to the country. Nevertheless, there was a marked inconsistency in the implementation of this trend by the government. This was mainly due to the lack of convenience among the ruling circles about the necessity of this type of policy and its enforcement through the existing legislation in the country at that time.

Author(s): Veton Latifi / Language(s): English Issue: 3-4/2015

Political apathy means lack of interest in politics and it plays a significant role in identifying the level of involvement of citizens in public policy issues and democracy. Interested citizens are familiar with numerous political issues and are more active than apathetic citizens. Apathy means a political indifference and the opposite of it is the political interest in democracy. Political apathy is an attitude, rather than only any lack of activity and it doesn’t mean only the ‘no vote’ situation. The mount of political apathy in some European countries eventually can be treated as specific peculiarity of political systems of those countries and as a consequence of specific political cultures of certain countries. But, in the case of the Balkan countries, aside these reflections, one may identify some other reasons that lead to the decline of interest to take part actively in the political processes, especially in terms of their declining percentage in the voting outcomes. In studying the political factors and simulation elements to the political apathy, apart of the premises that reflect with challenges of political participation and difficulties of political representation; and the issue of citizens’ political involving discouragement, however one should consider as well as the specifics of the political culture. The paper explores the core factors and challenges of the political scenes of the Balkan countries in the transition and it pretend to identify the systematic phenomena that reflect from these factors and challenges within the theoretical context of the political culture.
