The study is devoted to establishment and research orientation of so-called Pilsen Bulgarian studies. In the Czech academia, Bulgarian studies were traditionally understood as philological field of study (the same situation applies to Czech studies in Bulgaria). However, contemporary globalized world offers much more opportunities for academic interest in Bulgaria. Pilsen Bulgarian studies represent different new model of academic centre based on non-philological grounds. This now fully established group of pedagogues and students created, without being formally institutionalized in the structure of the university, research centre focused on Bulgarian issues which is characterized by wide spectrum of activities and important research results. More attention and support should be focused on research centres of this kind instead of focusing only on well-established, institutionalized and traditional ones.

Several years lasting research of economic migration between Bulgaria and Greece brought a personal transformation in the author’s life, which turned her into a Bulgaria based work migrant. This essay question the possible effects of economic migration of a fieldworker and their methodological consequences. Author also targets the outstandingly frequent involvement of anthropology graduates within the work migration cycles, interestingly these flows aim not only towards “the West” but also “the East”. The stereotype of unqualified economic migrant moving from “East” to “West” flooding the target country with people of their own needs to be reconsidered. Economic migration embrace people with different educational level, and field backgrounds, furthermore some fields like social-cultural anthropology are even more involved. It can challenge anthropology graduates to get the best from this situation, if not for the scientific progress, then at least to self-explain their career choice.

Along with the political, social and political changes in Bulgaria and Romania, new threads have appeared in the debate on identity since the early 1990s. From one side, it was the result of challenges and threats in the dimension of foreign policy and security of these two countries, and on the other side – the result of new opportunities that emerged in front of Bulgaria and Romania in the generally changed geopolitical situation. It seems that Romania remains more consistent and expressive in its choices. In turn, Bulgaria has undergone a greater evolution, and given the level from which it began after 1989, maybe even a revolution in the perception of its European identity.

The author undertakes an important issue relating to axiology of activities (individual and collective) incorporated in the Bulgarian financial and economic practice. Moneva points to phenomena which favour corruption and reinforce patterns of illegal conduct and practices distant from what has been recognized in liberal democracies of the West as correct and recommended. Lack of clarity and transparency of power, lack of public oversight over state institutions support persistence of pathological and destructive practices. The article constitutes an important voice in defence of democratic values.

Main purpose of the text is to present specifics of development of contemporary Bulgarian ethnology which are potentially not well known in the Czech Republic. The main specific of this development is main role of folkloristics in establishment of this field since 1989; ethnography played only secondary role in this process, resulting in state of affairs different from other nations of South- Eastern Europe. Other specifics of post-1989 development of Bulgarian ethnology are also presented resulting in the conclusion that current Bulgarian ethnology now exists as academic field parallel to sociocultural anthropology.

Old age as aconstant, necessary attribute of life has been apoint of interest of the writers since the latest times. Its presence in the culture distinguish various intensity, and its perception oscillates anywhere from negation and disdain to elation and affirmation; nevertheless it always proves that literature pays attention to various stages of getting old. Following Bulgarian national renaissance in the first part of 19th century, in aBulgarian society took place broad, revolutionary generation change — programme of which could be found in the literary texts. Typical image of an old mother — personification of Bulgaria — simple women abandoned by her dear ones, anguished by malicious enemies yet unwavering and defending tradition becomes asymbol of the changes needed in the society.

Старостта като неотменна и задължителна част от живота още в най-далечни времена се превръща в тема на множество литературни текстове. Тя присъства в културата с различен интензитет, а начинът, по който се оценява този последен етап от човешката екзистенция прилича на синусоида, променяща се с течение на времето от отрицание и презрение до възхита и утвърждаване. Едновременно с това присъствието на тази тематика доказва, че литературата проявява постоянен интерес към различните етапи на остаряването. Българското Възраждане от първата половина на XIX век става двигател на широка, революционна смяна на поколенията в българското общество, чиято програма е отразена в множество литературни текстове. Характерният образ на старата майка — персонификация на България — обикнове на жена, изоставена от най-близките си, подтискана от жестоки врагове, но непобедима и защитаваща своята традиция — се превръща също така в символ на необходимите и неотложни обществени промени.

The paper presents the problem of the influence of positive and negative stereotypes of the Turk on the Bulgarian state’s policy towards the Muslim minority in 1878–1912. The first part of the text analyses the evolution of the negative stereotype of the Turk as the “cruel tormentor” and the positive one of the “good neighbor” in Bulgarian culture from the beginning of the Ottoman period to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The second part focuses on the discriminative aspects of Bulgarian minority policy towards the Muslim population that was mostly implemented at the end of the 1870s and the beginning of the 1880s. Part three presents examples of the tolerant attitude by Bulgarian authorities that dominated Sofia’s policy towards the Muslims from the Union from 1885 to the outbreak of the Balkan Wars.

The basis for this contribution is the archival document Přínos Čechů Bulharsku (The Contribution of Czechs to Bulgaria), composed in 1968 by an unknown Czech. The manuscript was filed in the archives of the Czechoslovak Club of T. G. Masaryk in Sofia when it was discovered by the author of this edition in 2019. In keeping with the title, or rather the overall intention of his study, the unknown author of the document attempts to create a complex overview of positive cases of “contributions of Czechs to Bulgaria”, with emphasis on mentioning as many as possible of the Czechs who had been active in Bulgarian territory and in some way excelled and contributed to the country’s development. Owing to the extraordinary (and personal) familiarity of the author with the issue of Czechs living in Bulgaria, his work contains an abundance of references to the activities of Czechs in this country, including a great deal of information about people and facts that had previously only been partially known of, or had been entirely unknown. The text is supplemented with introductory comments by the editor on the question of the identity of the author of the text, an editorial commentary on the process of rendering the manuscript into a published format, and continuous explanatory footnotes.

Focusing on the case of Bulgaria, this paper examines the trends, causes and social impacts of transitory migration, and especially that of asylum seekers and refugees, in Bulgaria as part of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region and the broader EU context. It provides a statistical overview of refugee flows since 2012 and indicators of the rates of retention or transition. The paper also describes the legislative frameworks on the EU — and national levels which define the required reception conditions and the procedural treatment of asylum seekers and refugees, and elaborates on their practical application, including deficiencies in the conditions for receiving refugees, procedural flaws and the lack of integration measures. Finally, the paper discusses the impact of these processes on Bulgarian society, including the role of civil society.

The article focuses on the cult of the Virgin Mary in the village of Popovo, Pernik region, and the way that cult becomes a factor in maintaining the local memory of the community that experienced traumatic changes in Bulgaria at the beginning of the socialist period. The villages of Popovo and Krapets were displaced because of the intensive industrialization of the Pernik region in the early 50s of the twentieth century and the building of the Studena dam. The population was moved near the newly-built state-owned metallurgical plant named after V.I. Lenin (now Stomana Industry), where the building of the largest quarter of the town started. Access was prohibited to the villages and the settlers’ need to adapt to the new conditions resulted in looking for compensatory mechanisms in maintaining the community life and local memory of the two previous settlements. The building of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Church in the new quarter named after Lenin (now Iztok) is perceived as a kind of continuation of the destroyed village churches, and its patron saint’s day is celebrated up to the very present by the previous inhabitants of Popovo and their descendants. The study is based on field research among the settlers from the two villages, as well as on observations on the restored village feast in Popovo after 1989, and on the celebrations of the Day of the Virgin Mary in the Iztok quarter of Pernik.

The author emphasizes the specific features of globalization processes described by terms like: information technology, transformations of material culture, national economy and circulation of increasingly less tangible financial capital. The virtual world with sophisticated tools and well-trained specialists offers a broad selection of opportunities to make the economy stronger. However, not every actor (state) has tools to participate in this global competition. This article examines how national economies, including Bulgaria, try to become a full right member (participant) in the global “game.”

The article shows the attitude of the Great Britain towards controversies connected with the so‑called Macedonian issue during the inter‑war period, using British archival and published sources. From the point of view of Great Britain the Macedonian issue should be eliminated from the international politics of those times. Its instrumentalization through individual revisionist countries of the region and powers could lead to destruction of the interwar political order in the region. The Macedonian case was treated by British diplomats as a result of political manipulation and unfulfilled aspirations of circles, dissatisfied with the political status quo of those days. The demands to recognize the Macedonian population as an ethnic minority were ignored by the British diplomacy, treating them as an expression of revisionism. The British hope was in the long‑term assimilation of the population within Yugoslavia and Greece. British diplomacy insisted that Bulgarian authorities restrict the influence of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO) on relations with Yugoslavia. On the other hand, Yugoslavia should give up supporting Bulgarian emigrants who found refuge there after the coup in September 1923. Moreover, British diplomacy cared about no influence, in any form of the controversy related to the Macedonian issue, on the League of Nations.

A fragment of the upper part of a beaker of transparent olive-green glass decorated with a series of non-transparent red-brown glass trails was discovered in a 4th/5th c. assemblage at the Byzantine fortress in Odărci (northeastern Bulgaria). The space between the two sets of trails is filled with two rows of letters in the Greek alphabet, which were painted with a color that is now white. The body of the vessel and the ornament were both made of glass of the Na2O · CaO · Al2O3 · SiO2 chemical type. The body (matrix) glass was colored with oxides of iron (Fe2O3) and titanium (TiO2), that of the ornament with oxides of iron (Fe2O3), manganese (MnO) and copper (CuO). The results of a comparative analysis of sum totals and ratios of main glass-forming components and the quantitative content of different components in the glass of vessel from Odărci, compared to objects from other regions, appear to indicate that the glass of beaker was melted in a center somewhere in southern Europe or in Mediterranean center (in the late Roman or early Byzantine period).

Euroscepticism is often linked to the disappointment with the outcomes of transition as well as overgrown expectations that accompanied the accession to the European Union. The main aim of the paper is to investigate if and how party‑based Euroscepticism has been active in Bulgaria, a post‑ communist country in CEE and a member of the European Union since 2007. The paper will present the rhetoric and characteristics of main Eurosceptic political parties in Bulgaria. Bulgarian public opinion used to be perceived as one of the most pro‑European among the member states, but current events show that the European issue is not so salient for the Bulgarian society and political elite. The difficult social and political situation marginalises discussions about the functioning of the EU and the future of Europe. Not only the absence of Euroscepticism, but also the lack of any European issues in party manifestos is puzzling. This paper aims to answer the question if Bulgarian politicians are so pro‑European or rather if Europe doesn’t really matter to the elites.

Religious terminology in Russian dialect of Old Believers in Poland and Bulgaria (records from the years 1969–1973)Records of religious terminology in Bulgaria were conducted by the author, records in Poland were done by people from the community of Old Believers as well. The material was collected in three centres of Old Believers in Poland – in Augustów, Suwałki and Mrągowo counties (the Masurian district). The basis for gathering the material was a special questionnaire formulated by the author which contained peculiarities of religion and culture of Old Believers. The questionnaire consists of 220 questions concerning the following topics: sacred buildings, belfry, monastery, cemetary, icons, religious books, Old Believer rosary, thurible, candles, a so called podrucznik (i.e. a small cushion used for kneeling and putting hands during bowing), christening, marriage, funeral, ritual food, lent, holidays, names of confessions, clergy, ritual clothes and other names (clergymen and other). The sound of names provided by informants was preserved. The records were done using simplified phonetic transcription. A small dictionary attached to the questionnaire explains less known terms and phrases.

Topoi of historical memory in Bulgaria. Field researchThe article summarizes the preliminary results from the research project “Topoi of Memory”, which is a joint venture between the New Bulgarian University and the American University in Bulgaria.The major goal of the research team is to investigate the level of modernization of Bulgarian society using the mechanism of historical memory. Thus we are trying to answer the question: whether there exists one coherent and normative Grand Historical Narrative, inspired by “the inventors of tradition” – and how does it function. Or, whether there are diverse narratives which circulate among the various social, ethnic and religious groups, according to their own value systems.Another aim of the research is to establish the generators of memory, which are at odds between the institutional education and the traditions of the different groups.The results are quite clear: the Grand Bulgarian Historical Narrative is centered on the last decade of the Ottoman Rule in Bulgaria (the 1870’s) which presents the climax of the national liberation movement and the Liberation from the “Turkish Joke”. Still, the “joke” is marked primarily by the heroic discourse. This is in sharp distinction with Serbia, where the traumatic discourse is dominant. The heroic discourse allows much more wider deployment of the narratives of epic heroism, than the traumatic national memory of martyrdom.The leading topoi of memory among the majority of Bulgarians and the diverse minorities groups are relatively similar, still they differ on the level of repetition of these topoi. Even the representatives of the Turkish minority consider the Liberation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman rule the most important historical event. This fact does not mean that these Bulgarian Turks highlight a distinct “martyrdom memory”, or feature a high level of integration in Bulgarian society. It rather presents (in the majority of the cases) a special mimicry of the minority group versus the majority. „Niewola turecka” jako miejsce pamięci. Wyniki badań terenowych Tekst zawiera raport z badań przeprowadzonych w ramach projektu „Toposy pamięci historycznej” realizowanego przez Nowy Uniwersytet Bułgarski i Uniwersytet Amerykański w Bułgarii. Głównym celem była ocena poziomu modernizacji społeczeństwa bułgarskiego, który byłby do uchwycenia z perspektywy mechanizmów pamięci. Czy można mówić o istnieniu jednej wielkiej narracji narodowej, inspirowanej przez „wynalazców tradycji”, czy też o cyrkulacji wielu opowieści – zależnie od systemów wartości poszczególnych grup społecznych, etnicznych, religijnych? Innym celem badania było wyznaczenie czynników tworzących pamięć (generatorów), jak powszechne wykształcenie czy tradycje rodowe.Wyniki badań jednoznacznie pokazują, że wielka bułgarska narracja narodowa – jeśli w ogóle istnieje – osadzona jest w ostatniej dekadzie panowania osmańskiego: okresie walk narodowowyzwoleńczych i wyzwolenia spod „jarzma tureckiego”. „Jarzmo” jednak nie tyle definiowane jest w kategoriach traumy (jak chociażby w Serbii), ile heroizmu. Okazuje się w większym stopniu impulsem do wielkiego zrywu niż martyrologią.W przypadku Bułgarów i poszczególnych mniejszości narodowych wiodące toposy są podobne, mimo iż pojawiają się z różną częstotliwością. Nawet mniejszość turecka uznaje wyzwolenie Bułgarii spod panowania osmańskiego za najważniejsze wydarzenie, w czym nie należy upatrywać martyrologii czy wysokiego stopnia integracji; w większości przypadków pozwala to dojrzeć w tym zjawisku tendencję do stosowania strategii mimikry.
