THE REPRESENTATION OF THE SOVIET POPULATION DEVIANT BEHAVIOR IN STATE SECURITY ORGANS’ INFORMATION AND ANALYTICAL DOCUMENTS OF 1920S

Author(s): Svitlana Liaskovska / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2014

This paper addresses the ways of representation of antisocial behavior described in analytical documents (newsletters, reports, reviews, memos) of the Soviet State Security (GPU USSR) which were prepared to inform senior party and government leadership about the situation in the country. In particular, these documents contain information about the deviant, delinquent and criminal behavior of different social groups in terms of their rejection of the party-state policy. Individuals’ sentiments and actions are considered to be the varieties of antisocial behavior. The Secret Service documents contain information about the specific acts of negative behavior of certain social groups (workers, peasants) as well as of individual members of the public authorities. In a separate part are the reports containing the information about the antisocial actions by responsible and ordinary party members. The author attempts to analyze how the Secret Service determined the motivation of Soviet population antisocial behavior. The author comes to the conclusion that the information and analytical documents are valuable historical source for the study of different types of antisocial behavior in the period of new economic policy.

За един малко известен демонологичен персонаж „бробняча“ (По теренни материали от гр. Чипровци)

Author(s): Vanya Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1-2/2017

The current article is devoted to a not so widely known in the specialized Bulgarian ethnological literature demonic creature, mostly known in two villages in Northwestern Bulgaria (Chiprovtsi and Zhelezna) and called brobnyacha. The lexeme brobnyacha can only be found in one official Bulgarian language dictionary – the one published in 1908 by N. Gerov. When trying to position the brobnyacha in the Bulgarian and South Balkan folklore mythological pantheon it turns out to be a combined image of different supernatural demonic creatures’ characteristics – vampir – vampire, samodiva – fairy, karakondzhul etc, but without enough common ground with any of them (in terms of chronotopic positioning and actual actions). It is also impossible to sort the brobnyacha as one of the well-known types of witch (magyosnitsa, mamnitsa, bayachka, znaharka, veshtica) among the same regions of Orthodox population. However, the comparative analysis made points to similarities and allows for analogies with the tragically known ‘witch hunting’ in Central and Western Europe. There are also many similarities to witches from the classical fiction literature. In the search of an acceptable explanation, the hypothesis is presented that after the Chiprovtsi uprising in 1688, part of the refugees who at first settle in lands controlled by the Hapsburgs at that time could have become witnesses to ‘belated’ trials against witches in the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century. Since the fate of many of those refugees and their descendants remains unknown, it is logical to conclude that some of them returned to Chiprovtsi and memories of the witch trials have been transformed in the image of the brobnyacha. According to some of the informants the brobnyacha of Chiprovtsi vomits the blood drunk – the same actions is to be seen by the so-called striga of the mountains in Northern Albania. This does not seem to be coincidental and, if the theory about an Albanian presence in the described area of the Chiprovtsi region before 1688 is accepted, which can be confirmed also through the recording of typical Albanian given names in the Ottoman Empire’s tax registers from the region.

Нормативна уредба и организация на солодобива в Поморие за периода 1878–1951 година

Author(s): Milcho Skumov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5-6/2017

The sea salt harvesting is a traditional livelihood in Pomorie. From 1878 when the rebuilding of the Bulgarian state started to 1951, when the salt-works became state property, two of the main tasks of the state and local regulations were the protection of the salt-works and the city from the strong sea storms and the improvement of salt production. In 1936 a situation was reached, which satisfied all participants in this economic activity. The established Pomorie Salt-Works Fund was a successful form of organization which was proven by the results achieved. It combined proper organization, professional management and good financing.

Различните наративи за село Карлуково

Author(s): Yoana Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 17/2019

The paper aims to show how a current place can be an embodiment of multiple collective perceptions of cultural reality. Karlukovo is a small village in northern Bulgaria and it is very good example for that hypothesis. On the one hand, it is a popular touristic place for its natural gifts – there is a cave nearby, which is a natural phenomenon for its two holes in the form of eyes on the roof of the cave. On the other hand, “Karlukovo” is a stereotype both for “madhause” and for gypsies. The reason for that is the local mental hospital, which is famous around Bulgarians and is known, that it hosts the most difficult psychological cases. Next to it, for several years the Bulgarian media spread information about crimes, where many houses have been robbed. As half of the local population is migrated gypsies, many people thought that gypsies are the offenders (even that this may not be the reality). On third place, the village is a site for the native’s collective memory, which saves myths, family stories, songs, collaborations, festivals, etc. The locals do not support the narrative of the mental house. For them the hospital is outside the village, it is part of the governmental health infrastructure, and it is just a coincidence that its location is close to the village. This makes them struggling with the common stereotype of the mad house. Yet, for the last 2 years Prohodna cave gains popularity and tourism is growing. The common perception of Karlukovo is changing and getting more and more pleasant. All of this shows how a single site can adopt multiple, inconstant and changeable narratives.

Gypsies and the Emigrations of the ‘Bulgarian Turks’ (1948–1989)

Author(s): Plamena Stoyanova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

“The Gypsies are our own, domestic problem” is a phrase attributed to the long-term former head of the old communist Bulgarian government, Todor Zhivkov. The government policy towards the Gypsy minority in communist Bulgaria is one of inclusion to the Bulgarian way of life, and its implementation is carefully tailored to the specificities of Bulgaria as a country. It is a little known fact that towards the end of the 40s, the Bulgarian Gypsies suddenly turn from a ‘domestic problem’ to something much larger and thus become part of the great confrontation between the two world political camps divided by the Iron Curtain. This takes place during the migration of the ethnic Turks which starts in 1948, and during which, applications for emigration are filed by both Bulgarian Turks and Muslim Bulgarian Gypsies. This latter ethnic minority becomes the cause for serious conflict between ‘communist Bulgaria’ and ‘capitalist Turkey’. This paper aims at following the events from the end of the 1940s to the end of the 1980s, as well as at analysing the consequences of the confrontation between the two neighbouring Balkan countries.

Постапокалиптични реалии. Икономическото възстановяване на Кралството на сърби, хървати и словенци (КСХС) и България след Първата световна война

Author(s): Hristo Berov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2020

The main emphasis of this text above is economic reconstruction of the Balkan countries that followed hardships and horrors of World War One. Being part of the European continent, the Balkan countries face serious difficulties in overcoming the effects of the global conflict and cannot be separated from political and social crises devastating the continent by the mid-1920s. Those aspects are quite well, though not enough, covered. Far less attention is paid to the economic efforts to overcome post-war difficulties. It is precisely this aspect that is the focus of this research, with the main purpose of empirically testing the working hypothesis of the identical behavior of the Balkan states in a situation of global political and economic crisis, such as Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in the years after the First World War. The choice of the two countries is justified by a methodological point of view, since it makes it possible to find similarities and to distinguish differences in the economic recovery policies of the two countries that fall into the camp of the defeated and the victorious ones, respectively, which at first sight is a condition of a different type of problems, policies and results. Setting them against the backdrop of pan-European and global trends, in turn, guarantees a better look at the “uniqueness” of specific post-world-war-one Balkan conditions.

Bogdan Filov (1883–1945) – ein bulgarischer Wissenschaftler und Politiker in seinen Beziehungen zu Deutschland – anlässlich des 150 jährigen Jubiläums der Bulgarischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Sofia

Author(s): Helmut Wilhelm Schaller / Language(s): German Issue: 3-4/2019

Bogdan Filov (1883–1945) was a Bulgarian archeologist and politician, who studied in Freiburg, Germany. In 1914 he became professor in Sofia, in 1929 – member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. In the years 1938–1940 he was Minister of Education, from 1940 till 1943 he was Prime Minister of Bulgaria. After the unexpected death of king Boris III Filov became one of the three members of the Bulgarian regency instead of Boris´ minor son Simeon. Because of the coalition with Germany during World War II Filov was overthrown in September 1944 after the invasion of Soviet troops and executed by a Popular Court of justice. The scientific researches of Bogdan Filiov in the fields of Bulgarian archeology and history of art were acknowledged not only in Bulgaria, but also in Germany by his election as a foreign member of the academies in Berlin, Göttingen and Munich.

Полша през погледа на видния публицист, политик и дипломат д-р Борис Вазов

Author(s): Veska Nikolova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2020

The article is dedicated to an episode of the cultural relations between Bulgaria and Poland immediately after the First World War. This was the time when their political and ruling elites realized that the two Slavic states would not receive the diplomatic support of the great powers and their neighbors to realize their national ideals. That was why they united around the concept of informal - scientific, personal and collective – contacts as a way to get to know each other and draw closer. This idea was carried out through the exchange of two delegations. On September 5, 1923, a Bulgarian cultural and educational group left Sofia for Poland. Among its members was Dr. Boris Vazov – chairman of „Slavyanska Beseda“, a prestigious journalist and public figure who was committed to sending daily articles covering the trip. In them he dwells on important events in Polish history, life, culture, economy and psychology of the Polish people, shares impressions of the patriotic feelings of Poles and their respect for the heroes who played an important role in national preservation.

Providing Studying Rooms and Hostels for Students of Pedagogical Educational Institutions of National Minorities (20 – 30s of the XX Century)

Author(s): Alexander Komarnitsky,Liudmyla Komarnitska / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2020

The article deals with the situation of providing studying rooms and hostels for students. Difficult economic situation in the country caused slow growth of the studying space. It has been proved that rooms unfit for the teaching learning process were given to institutions. The author having used rich database proves that it was too difficult to provide lodging for students, especially in the 1920s. Most institutions of higher education did not have their own hostels. Part of student dwellings was in the buildings unfit for living. It has been shown that living conditions were improving gradually during the 30s of the 20th century. The greater part of hostels was poorly furnished and there was not enough linen. Students hip living in boarding-schools had to follow the rules of residence. At the same time, it often happened that student rooms were unsanitary. Most hostels had no bathhouses, laundries, and barber shops.

Replacement of Municipal Political Elite as a Tool for Seizing Power and Consolidating an Authoritarian Regime in Slovakia 1938–1940

Author(s): Martin Pekár / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The main aim of this article is to present a comparative historical analysis of the mechanisms for the replacement of the political elites after the collapse of interwar Czechoslovakia and the declaration of the Slovak State under the influence of Nazi Germany in the years 1938–1940 at the level of municipal self-government with regard to the onset of an authoritarian regime. The subjects of the research are two towns, Prešov and Nitra, which provide an opportunity to look for similarities and differences in the changes implemented in two socio-economically and demographically similar towns with different political climates. The research is based on primary and secondary historical sources confronted mainly with the theories of V. Pareto, R. Michels and J. J. Linz. Historical developments in Slovakia in the years 1938–1940 and the process of the replacement of municipal elites correlates with the framework formulated in the sociological theories of Pareto and Michels. The process of the replacement of municipal elites contributed also to the gaining of characteristic elements of the authoritarian regime in the sense of the definition of J. J. Linz established in Slovakia by the Hlinka Slovak People’s Party.

Address Unknown: Reshaping the Jewish Living Space and Social Mobility in the Slovak State (1939–1945)

Author(s): Michala Lônčíková / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

Social mobility is a relatively common phenomenon in society; however, in the period of the Slovak State (1939–1945) it was predominantly caused by the economic and social engineering of the single ruling Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party. Anti-Semitism was made one of the main pillars of the internal state policy. Systematic pauperisation of the Jewish community gradually affected each perspective of everyday life of Jews in Slovakia, including the limitation of Jewish people’s living space. This practice led to involuntary moving out from houses and flats in designated urban zones. Subsequently, this process culminated in the Aryanization of the housing formerly owned by Jews. The main aim of this contribution is to analyse spatial and social consequences of the reshaping of the Jewish housing opportunities with special interest in the entangled social mobilities of both Jews and Gentiles, which will be mainly exemplified through selected cases from the Banská Bystrica district.

Problemy gospodarcze Polski w okresie wojny z bolszewikami – zarys problematyki

Author(s): Aldona Podolska-Meducka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2019

Objective: The article identifies the main economic problems Poland faced as a result of its military involvement in the 1919–1921 Polish-Soviet War. Research Design & Methods: Source material including legal regulations, statistical data and pre- and post-war literature were analysed. Findings: Financing military operations replete with supplies took a tremendous effort, and the consequent hardship was shouldered by all of Poland’s citizens. The situation weighed particularly heavily on rural populations, which were compelled to provide recruits and food for the army and civilians alike. The war ultimately ushered in a period of hyperinflation. Implications / Recommendations: War places a huge burden on state finances. It contributes to a greater state interventionism and imposes various obligations on the citizens. Contribution: The analysis of main problems of Polish economy during the Polish-Soviet War may be used for comparative purposes when studying similar issues in other countries.
