The article presents the problem of constructing the Balkans as an 'invented' national space of the Bulgarians who in the period of national revival (1762-1878) made an effort to form their national symbolic universe. The process of seeking national tradition was accompanied by the change in the civilization paradigm, abandoning the Ottoman model and turning to the European one, as well as deliberate functionalization of the folk-Orthodox culture. As a result of the interference of folk models and writers' linguistic and artistic practice the Turkish lexeme balkan has been transformed not only into a sign of national space but also an ambiguous symbol of 'Bulgarianness' which undergoes constant ideological reinterpretations.
