Kyril Drenikoff's involvement in that community is well documented in the extensive Correspondence series, as well as in several series dedicated to the activities of the World Anti-Communist League, the Anti-Bolshevik Block of Nations, and the Bulgarian League for Human Rights, organizations in which he held a prominent role. Material on other anti-communist organizations, such as the Assembly of Captive European Nations, can be found in the Subject File. Another focus of the collection is Kyril Drenikoff's life-long interest in promoting Bulgarian history and culture. With his brother Ivan Drenikoff, he co-founded the Centre de Recherches et de Documentation Balkaniques, formerly named the Balkan Archives, for which they collected thousands of volumes. Kyril Drenikoff was also the publisher of Informations Bulgares and headed the Institut Culturel Bulgare, which published Edin Zavet. Much of his bibliographic effort was concentrated on Macedonia as well as on Bulgaria. Though of Macedonian origin, he strongly believed that the population of Macedonia is part of the Bulgarian nation and refuted the existence of an independent Macedonian nation and church. Also important in the collection are Kyril Drenikoff's speeches and writings on Bulgarian and Macedonian culture, politics, and religious issues, often written under one of the following pseudonyms: D. B., D. D., K. G. D., D. G., D. K. G., D. L. G., G. G., D. V., Strachimir Belphegoroff, G. Bertram, Ieromonakh Danail, Konstantin Dragashov, Gavrets, Gavriil Gorianin, Dr. Gorski, K. D. Gueorguief, Serafim Ionov, Dimiter Iskrenov, S. Kirov, Kolezhanin, G. or Goge or Georgi Lazov, Iskren Ognianov, Pantelei Petnik, G. L. Starozemets, C. D. de Velboudj, and Iurdan Zambakov. Included in the Speeches and Writings series are Kyril Drenikoff's academic theses of 1959, 1960, and 1963, but his diaries, covering the period from 1971 to 1976, can be found in their own series. Separate series were also created for King Simeon II of Bulgaria, to document Kyril Drenikoff's role as his counselor and member of his political council, as well as for King Simeon's father, Czar Boris III of Bulgaria. However, material relating to Czar Ferdinand I of Bulgaria can be found in the Subject File. Apart from the Biographical File devoted to Kyril Drenikoff, there is a wealth of material related to several members of his family, in particular his brother, Ivan Drenikoff, and his father, Georgi Drenikoff, commander of the Bulgarian Air Force during World War II. Not only is Georgi's participation in both World Wars well documented, there is also material relating to his passion for gliding. Indeed, he founded the practice of gliding in Bulgaria and won the bronze medal in the gliding competition during the Olympic Games of 1936 in Berlin, the first Bulgarian Olympic trophy. An accomplished track athlete, he also set the 1924 Bulgarian national record in hurdle racing. Finally, the collection is very rich in audio-visual material, with extensive series of photographs, postcards, maps, artwork, and sound recordings, relating mostly to Bulgarian history and culture.

  • Will Bulgaria Become Monarchy Again?

    Will Bulgaria Become Monarchy Again?

    Southeast European Politics Vol. IV, No. 2-3 November 2003 pp. 157-174 Will Bulgaria Become Monarchy Again? ROSSEN VASSILEV The Ohio State University ABSTRACT This article deals with the much debated question of whether post-Communist Bulgaria should restore the monarchy abolished by the 1946 referendum. The prospects for bringing back the monarchy are believed to be negligible, given the existing constitutional hurdles and the population’s pro-republican sentiments. But ex-King Simeon’s triumph in the June 2001 parliamentary election has dramatically changed his standing at home. Any restoration of the monarchy will depend on the perceived success of his coalition government, especially in rebuilding the ailing national economy. It is questionable whether Simeon II will be able to live up to the overoptimistic expectations of Bulgarians who believe that like a Messiah he will save their country from the economic, social, political and institutional turmoil into which it has descended. But with a population distrustful of the politically bankrupt old parties and politicians and despondent enough to grasp at straws, a revival of the monarchy cannot be ruled out. Introduction Juan Linz and Alfred Stepan consider the issue of constitutions and constitutional formulas to be a significant, if neglected, aspect of democratic transitions (Linz and Stepan 1996: 81-83). They offer a classification of six different possible constitution-making environments, ranging from those that present the most confining conditions for democratization to those

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

Колар, че е избран за длъжността „градский архитектор“. Няколко месеца след Освобождението, на мястото на бъдещата българска столица, той заварва едно изостанало Пориенталско селище с около 3000 къщи, 20 джамии и десетина хана, сбутани около непроходими от кал улички без канализация, водопровод и осветление. С делото на А. Колар, който създава първия й градоустройствен план, започва историята на евро- пейска София. Само за няколко десетилетия, благодарение на труда и таланта на плеяда европей- ски, а по-късно и български архитекти и инженери, тя напълно се променя. Наред с всичките си останали задължения, Антонин Колар проектира и първите публични сгради и обществени пространства: Военното министерство и Военното училище, Градската градина, Грандхотел „България“, Паметника на Васил Левски, Централна- та гара, Офицерския клуб. Те се превръщат в средище на важни обществени събития и прояви, в място за срещи, на които се взимат исторически решения и се раждат идеи за бъдещето. Това издание разказва за тези емблематични за столицата ни места като наше общо на- следство и е част от кампанията на Българската банка за развитие по повод 140-ата го- дишнина от встъпването в длъжност на Антонин Колар като първия градски архитект на София.

    Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto

    Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto By Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar 2016 Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian group in Toronto PhD 2016 Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar University of St.Michael’s College Abstract This study explores how the Macedono-Bulgarian and Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox churches in Toronto have attuned themselves to the immigrant community—specifically to post-1990 immigrants who, while unchurched and predominantly secular, have revived diaspora churches. This paradox raises questions about the ways that religious institutions operate in diaspora, distinct from their operations in the country of origin. This study proposes and develops the concept “institutional vernacularization” as an analytical category that facilitates assessment of how a religious institution relates to communal factors. I propose this as an alternative to secularization, which inadequately captures the diaspora dynamics. While continuing to adhere to their creeds and confessional symbols, diaspora churches shifted focus to communal agency and produced new collective and “popular” values. The community is not only a passive recipient of the spiritual gifts but is also a partner, who suggests new forms of interaction. In this sense, the diaspora church is engaged in vernacular discourse. The notion of institutional vernacularization is tested against the empirical results of field work in four Greater Toronto Area churches.

This participatory political theology, as I name it, endorses modern democracy and the values of civic engagement. It enhances the process of democracy-building and consolidation in the SEE countries through cultivating the ethos of participation and concern with the common good among and the recognition of the dignity and freedom of the person.

    5 The 22 Frimaire of Yuan Shikai Privy councils in the constitutional architectures of Japan and China, 1887–1917 Egas Moniz Bandeira1 It was indeed a grand political idea whereof even England could be jealous of us, this Council of State, which was heard over all big questions, conserved from the great political traditions of the Empire. … This admirable creation of the Brazilian spirit, which completed the other, no less admirable one taken from Benjamin Constant, the Moderating Power, united, thus, around the Emperor the political heads of the one and the other side, all of their consum- mated experience, whenever it was necessary to hold consultations about an important public interest.2 Joaquim Nabuco (1849–1910) This can be dealt with by a completely new invention of my own devising. When you inquire into the basic principles of our Constitution, you will see that sov- ereignty resides firmly in the imperial house, and that in a crisis His Majesty’s judgment is to be the basis for the final decision. … There must be conscientious imperial advisers who can clearly ascertain the state of the nation and the senti- ments of the people, and in the end secure what is in their best interests. I am convinced that only a Privy Council can provide the place where such advisers may be found.3 Itō Hirobumi 伊藤博文 (1841–1909) Introduction Advisory bodies to monarchs are among the most traditional forms of collective decision-making, but as institutions of modern states, they are among the least conspicuous ones. As monarchs had their powers limited by constitutional gov- ernments or even became symbolical figures in parliamentary political systems, their advisory bodies lost their legislative attributions to parliaments and their executive attributions to the cabinet.
