Вацлав Ханка и българите

Author(s): Marcel Černý / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5-6/2015

The article examines the contribution of the Czech Revival philologist, publisher and poet Vaclav Hanka (1791–1861) to the Czech-Bulgarian cultural relations and contacts. The author analyzes in more detail his short translation called A Short History of the Slavonic Peoples in Ancient Times (1818), based on the Friedrich Christian Ruhs (1781–1820) book Handbuch der Geschichte des Mittelalters (1816). The chapter devoted to the history of medieval Bulgaria is the first specialized Bulgarian study published in Czech. Hanka has not written a whole bulgarian article on his own (except for the Bulgarian supplements in his research in the field of palaeoslavistics) and is restricted to resolving works of his colleagues and excerpts from the correspondence of his friends, mainly the Russian Slavonic scholar Izmail Ivanovich Srenevski (1812–1880). Nevertheless, for many Bulgarians, he was invaluable advisor during their trips to Bohemia (eg. Ivan Andreev Bogorov, Konstantin Dimitriev Petkovič, Ivan Vasilev Shopov, Petăr Beron, Konstantin Pavlov, Dimităr Stefanov Mutev or Nathanail Zografski) and discoverer and publisher of “Kralovedvorski manuscript” and “Zelenogorski manuscript” pseudo old Czech poetic mystification of the early 19th century, which are considered precious monuments from the 13th and 10th century (to their Bulgarian translators – besides the already-named Petkovič and Shopov – belong Teodosi (Bogdan) Ikonomov, Rayko Zhinzifov, George Benev and Atanas T. Iliev).

Историческите митове за Русия и българо-руските отношения в съвременното българско общество – обобщение на анкета

Author(s): Iskra Baeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2020

The article presents the results of an inquiry conducted among historians and non-historians in the framework of an international research project. The purpose of the survey is to examine the attitude of modern Bulgarian society to Russia/Soviet Union/Russian Federation and its role in Bulgarian history. Respondents answered questions related to the more general problem of the role of myths in history in general and those related to Russia in particular; how myths are born; which factors contribute to their public dissemination; which moments in history are most distorted or falsified in textbooks and in the media; who is interested in this; Is it possible to demythologize the Bulgarian-Russian relations. The inquiry showed the deep differences in Bulgarian society towards Russia. The majority of Bulgarians have a strong emotional attitude towards it, regardless of whether they express negative or positive feelings. And this division is manifested in all professions, ages, social groups. The survey gives grounds to conclude that despite the profound changes from the years of transition and the reorientation of Bulgaria to Western institutions, Bulgarian-Russian relations continue to be important for the Bulgarian society.

It is a shy attempt to bring to light features in the thought process of the ancient Hindu society in order to better relate and comprehend the treasures of its rich past.

Author(s): Debika Banerji,Anandita Pan / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Kolkata’s cultural landscape can be defined by the existing foodscape. The heritage restaurants existing in the city are an amalgamation of the cultural diffusion between the different communities that reside in the city.

The paper seeks to understand the development of the cuisines in relation to these food zones, how different communities have slowly exchanged ideas which have led to the creation of a new type of fusion cuisine, modified in accordance to suit local tastes and preferences.
