The article presents Polish research on the Bulgarian national mythology. First person to study the subject was Teresa Dabek-Wirgowa. Within the spectrum of her interest was the problem of personified symbols of values crucial for the process of forming cultural community (e.g., tsar, bumpkin, and 'hayduck'), issues concerned with the image of a stranger in the Bulgarian culture, as well as the category of mythologised national space. In the 1990s. Further studies have been taken up by such scholars as Maria Bobrownicka, Wojciech Galazka, Jolanta Sujecka, Celina Juda, and Grazyna Szwat-Gylybowa. The researchers focused on the subsequent aspects of myth-creating tendency of the Bulgarians who constantly reinvent their tradition. The article attempts also to reflect on the problem of the social function of such research since it is stigmatized with 'symbolic violence'.

Every national mythology highlights the origin and defines the own and its relations with the others by building narrations presenting the ethno-genesis and the past, both glorious and traumatic. Synchronically, defining the own goes mainly through the regales of the matrimonial norm and so called 'economy of women' - relations with representatives of the other sex that are members of other ethnic and/or religious group, and especially the process of adoption of women in communities, different from the own. The article is an attempt to present the main plots of Bulgarian national mythology, existing in the folklore and literature from the 19th century as a system. It is focused at the narratives about the abducted treasury - the kernel of Bulgarian national mythology. This abducted treasury could be a woman, books, faith, etc. The victim in the main variation is woman who could be abducted or seduced. Other popular plot has to do with the unhappy effects of the marriage of a Bulgarian man with a foreign woman. The ancient sources are traced and also the meaning that modern nationalism puts in these plots.
