За диалектното единство и един от опитите за прекодификация на българския език

Author(s): Ana Kocheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The Bulgarian dialectаl language today, due to changes of an extra-linguistic nature, is found both inside and outside the state borders of the Republic of Bulgaria in the three historical geographic areas: Moesia, Thrace and Macedonia. Due to the impossibility for Bulgaria to achieve its national reunification in the twentieth century and due to the imposed emigration of the population in the past after various wars, the Bulgarian language has a record number of attempts for writing-regional codifications - six, one of them being the Vardar-Macedonian one.

За изнамерването на книгопечатанието: възрожденски ракурси

Author(s): Vladimir Ignatov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2018

This article suggests an attempt to analyze some texts from the Bulgarian National Revival Periodic Press that interpret a „marvelous discovery“ - the typography. Its role and significance for the radical changes in cultural and literary communication, but also the resistances against it as something new, unknown and affecting someone‘s interests, are also examined. Through some texts by K. Fotinov, P. R. Slaveikov, N. Kazanakli is defended the concept of the typography as discovering new worlds, removing certain boundaries - spatial, temporal - and facilitating the touch to the foreign experience and its more comprehensive absorption, which are of particular importance in the conditions of the Bulgarian 19th century.

Полша и Украинската народна република в периода 1919 – 1920

Author(s): Mirosław Szumiło / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2018

The common enemy of the reborn Poland and the Ukrainian People’s Republic was Bolshevik Russia. On the initiative of the leaders of both countries: Józef Piłsudski and Symon Petlura, an alliance agreement was signed between Poland and the Ukrainian People’s Republic on 22 April 1920. Piłsudski treated cooperation with Ukraine as a key element of his broader plan to rebuild eastern Europe. The result of the concluded alliance was the participation of the Ukrainian army in defense of Poland against the Bolshevik invasion in the summer of 1920. However, the great military victory was largely wasted politically because no Ukrainian state was established. The Treaty of Riga, signed on March 18, 1921, signified de facto defeat of Piłsudski’s plans.

Фашизъм – националсоциализъм

Author(s): Voin Bojinov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2019

After the end of the World War One the old political habits were put under a serious test. The tough consequences of the conflict led to new ideologies that offered quick and easy recipes for coming out of the aftermath of the after military crisis. The Italian fascism, for example, promoted the vision of a strong state, guided by the Fascist Party and its leader. The leader, his party embodied the state. They were its image and content. These understandings were “further developed” by the German National Socialism, which added to them the racial hatred and the idea of the superiority of the Aryan. Everybody knows what the final of these political experiments was.
