  • 'Forebears', 'Saints' and 'Martyrs': the Politics Of
    ‘Forebears’, ‘saints’ and ‘martyrs’: the politics of commemoration in Bulgaria in the 1880s and 1890s1 Stefan Detchev (West University, Bulgaria) Тhe memory of the Bulgarian national revolutionary movement, as in all other national ideologies,2 was not transmitted only in books.3 It was embodied in the images of ‘saints’ and ‘martyrs’ commemorated at specific places. This paper will focus on the importance of the cult of forebears and predecessors as a part of popular political culture in Bulgaria in the 1880s and 1890s. During this period it increasingly mattered how ordinary people felt about nationality. The importance of this problem increased because of the introduction of universal male suffrage which followed the Tărnovo constitution of 1879.4 In this regard attention will be paid to days of national commemoration usually organised at the places of execution of Bulgarian national heroes and where Bulgarian rebel detachments had had battles.5 These days of commemoration were cultural and discursive practices that constituted new identities, new definitions of patriotism and identification with the state. I will be arguing that the commemoration of dead leaders and great events from the past played a very important role in shaping popular historical memory as part of identity building which cannot be done without stories, signs and symbols.6 These rituals shaped the ways in which the national revolutionaries were perceived and imagined. They invented a nationalistic public tradition and fostered a form of patriotism specific to itself. In this way historical myths became a part of political mythology and they aided political mobilisation. The commemorations were the obvious sites for this to take place.

  • Nominalia of the Bulgarian Rulers an Essay by Ilia Curto Pelle
    Nominalia of the Bulgarian rulers An essay by Ilia Curto Pelle Bulgaria is a country with a rich history, spanning over a millennium and a half. However, most Bulgarians are unaware of their origins. To be honest, the quantity of information involved can be overwhelming, but once someone becomes invested in it, he or she can witness a tale of the rise and fall, steppe khans and Christian emperors, saints and murderers of the three Bulgarian Empires. As delving deep in the history of Bulgaria would take volumes upon volumes of work, in this essay I have tried simply to create a list of all Bulgarian rulers we know about by using different sources. So, let’s get to it. Despite there being many theories for the origin of the Bulgars, the only one that can show a historical document supporting it is the Hunnic one. This document is the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans, dating back to the 8th or 9th century, which mentions Avitohol/Attila the Hun as the first Bulgarian khan. However, it is not clear when the Bulgars first joined the Hunnic Empire. It is for this reason that all the Hunnic rulers we know about will also be included in this list as khans of the Bulgars. The rulers of the Bulgars and Bulgaria carry the titles of khan, knyaz, emir, elteber, president, and tsar. This list recognizes as rulers those people, who were either crowned as any of the above, were declared as such by the people, despite not having an official coronation, or had any possession of historical Bulgarian lands (in modern day Bulgaria, southern Romania, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, and northern Greece), while being of royal descent or a part of the royal family.

  • Balkan Wars Between the Lines: Violence and Civilians in Macedonia, 1912-1918
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: BALKAN WARS BETWEEN THE LINES: VIOLENCE AND CIVILIANS IN MACEDONIA, 1912-1918 Stefan Sotiris Papaioannou, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe, Department of History This dissertation challenges the widely held view that there is something morbidly distinctive about violence in the Balkans. It subjects this notion to scrutiny by examining how inhabitants of the embattled region of Macedonia endured a particularly violent set of events: the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War. Making use of a variety of sources including archives located in the three countries that today share the region of Macedonia, the study reveals that members of this majority-Orthodox Christian civilian population were not inclined to perpetrate wartime violence against one another. Though they often identified with rival national camps, inhabitants of Macedonia were typically willing neither to kill their neighbors nor to die over those differences. They preferred to pursue priorities they considered more important, including economic advancement, education, and security of their properties, all of which were likely to be undermined by internecine violence. National armies from Balkan countries then adjacent to geographic Macedonia (Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia) and their associated paramilitary forces were instead the perpetrators of violence against civilians. In these violent activities they were joined by armies from Western and Central Europe during the First World War. Contrary to existing military and diplomatic histories that emphasize continuities between the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War, this primarily social history reveals that the nature of abuses committed against civilians changed rapidly during this six-year period.

  • Genov (New Bulgarian University)
    BULGARIAʼS ENTRY AND PARTICIPATION OF IN WORLD WAR I AS SEEN BY THE BRITISH JOURNALIST JAMES D. BOUCHIER Prof. Dr. Roumen Genov (New Bulgarian University) ! The press in modern times, had risen to the position of major cultural and political factor, and played important propaganda role in all stages of wars, their preparation, waging and post-war settlement. That is especially valid of the British press which came to a position to exercise vast influence over popular opinion. In his political novel “Coningsby”, published in 1844, the great statesman and author Benjamin Disraeli declaimed: “Opinion now is supreme, and the opinion speaks in print. The representation of the press is more complete than the representation of Parliament”. At the same time new journalism entered the scene with enhanced sense of self-confidence and mission. John Thaddeus Delane (who occupied the post of editor of The Times for thirty-six years from 1841, and had built its reputation), was clear in 1852 of the principle: “The duty of the Press is to speak; of the statesmen to be silent”.1 The custodians of the printed word referred to themselves as “the Press”, with capital letter, that denoted a formal collective entity analogous to the Parliament.2 ! The influence of the press was even more increased due its emancipation from state control (the removal of all duties on newspapers, or the “taxes on knowledge” as Richard Cobden called them, by the mid-1850s), the technological advance in printing and distribution, which gave rise to the mass press, that reached millions
