The article contains analysis of Prof. Dimitar Мishaykov’s cultural and educational views, as well as analysis of the major manifestations of his educational policy. Professor Dimitar Mishaykov is one of the distinguished figures in the new Bulgarian history. Having received a solid education in the country and abroad, he established himself as one of the leading university professors and specialists in the field of political economy and statistics. During the 1920s he took part in the government of the country as a member of the parliamentary group of the Democratic Union and as a Minister of Trade, Industry and Labor in the third cabinet of Andrey Lyapchev. In his political activities he stood out as a specialist with his own well-reasoned position. His second participation in the government of the state was as Minister of Education in the second cabinet of Georgi Kyoseivanov. For the short period of heading the Ministry of Education he succeeded to achieve continuity in the policy of that government department, as well as to repeal and correct some decisions of previous governments, thus bringing peace to the public and cultural-educational life of the country. Professor Mishaykov carried out important reforms in education, contributing in its further development. Some of his opinions on culture and education related to youth’s patriotic and civic education are still relevant nowadays.

The main focus in this study is the unique individual reception of the Expressionism in some of Eugene O'Neill’s plays from the 1920s: "The Emperor Jones" (1920) and "The Hairy Ape" (1922). A strong source of influence is August Strindberg and his experiments at the Chamber Theater in Stockholm. This can be traced by pointing out common thematic and stylistic features in Strindberg's trilogy "The Road to Damascus" and O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones". Another major source of influence is the German Expressionist movement from the first quarter of the 20th century, especially some of the leading playwrights like Georg Kaiser and Ernst Toller. Yet another source of influence are the German Expressionistic films of R. Wiene, F. Lang and Murnau, which followed most of the principles of the avant-garde trend.
