This contribution analyzes Bulgarian subjects in the Slavonic Review in the years 1898–2014. Particular attention is devoted to the 1st and 2nd stages of the journal’s existence (before 1939), and important findings by leading scholars of Bulgaria are discussed, as are the personal contacts maintained by the editor-in-chief Adolf Černý, along with those of his friends who also specialized in Bulgarian studies. The development of the field in the postwar years is also briefly sketched out, with special emphasis on the decade following the putsch in February 1948 and the so-called normalization period, when Bulgarian studies were politicized within the framework of an overall ideologization of scholarship. One of the most fundamental changes made to the contents of the journal was its transformation from a popular non-fiction periodical featuring wide-ranging cultural-historical subject matter into an outlet for purely historical studies, which took place when the editorship was transferred from the Slavonic Institute ČSAV (later the Institute for Languages and Literatures ČSAV) to the Institute for the History of European Socialist Countries ČSAV in 1964, and subsequently to the Czechoslovak-Soviet Institute ČSAV. After November 1989 the field of Bulgarian studies (now free of negative ideological encumbrances) was cultivated in the spirit of the long-standing tradition of Czech-Bulgarian relations and often benefited from interdisciplinary encroachments into ethnology, political science, the history of scholarship, cultural history, Byzantine studies, and Balkan studies.
