Magisterarbeit Im Fach: Osteuropäische Geschichte Vorgelegt von: Christopher Nehring Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg 15.12.2010 Erstkorrektor: Prof. Dr. Joachim Rogall (Heidelberg) Zweitkorrektor: Prof. Dr. Hannes Grandits (HU Berlin) Danksagung Diese Magisterarbeit ist das Produkt einjähriger Nachforschungen im Rahmen eines Praktikums im Zentralen Staatsarchiv Sofia (Centralen Dăržaven Arhiv Sofia – CDA) und der Nationalbibliothek Kiril i Metdoi Sofia (NBKM). Ohne die beeindruckende Unterstützung zahlreicher Personen wäre diese, für eine Magisterarbeit ungewöhnliche, Arbeitsleistung vollkommen unmöglich gewesen. So danke ich zunächst Herrn Prof. Dr. Joachim Rogall (Ruprecht-Karls- Universität Heidelberg/Robert-Bosch-Stiftung) für seine bedingungslose Unterstützung und fachkundige Betreuung meiner Arbeiten über einen Zeitraum von rund zwei Jahren. Ich danke Herrn Prof. Dr. Hannes Grandits (Humboldt- Universität Berlin) für die Übernahme der (auswärtigen) Zweitkorrektur, seine Anregungen und für die Möglichkeit, die Arbeit im Rahmen des Kolloquiums „Theorien, Methoden und neue Zugänge zur Geschichte und Historischen Anthropologie Südosteuropas“ am 24.11.2010 in Berlin vorzustellen und zu diskutieren. Tiefer Dank gilt des Weiteren Dr. Milena Todorakova aus dem CDA Sofia, die mich während des Praktikums fürsorglich und zuvorkommend betreute und in die Arbeit des Zentralen Staatsarchivs einweihte. Der Aufenthalt in Bulgarien wäre völlig undenkbar gewesen ohne den Einsatz, die Hilfe und Fürsorge von Anna, Ilija und Nikolaj Ivanov, die nicht nur diese Arbeit, sondern auch den Autoren durch so manche harte Zeit in Bulgarien begleiteten. Weiterhin wäre dieses Projekt auch ohne die finanzielle Unterstützung durch das „Erasmus-Praktikaprogramm“ wahrscheinlich nicht zu realisieren gewesen. In Sofia hatte ich des Weiteren die hoch erfreuliche Gelegenheit den herausragenden bulgarischen Wirtschaftshistoriker Rumen Avramov (Centăr za Liberalni Strategii – CLS Sofia) und Prof. Dr. Rumen Daskalov (Central European University Budapest/Nov Bălgarski Universitet Sofia) kennenzulernen und mit ihnen über die Ergebnisse meiner Untersuchungen zu sprechen. Für diese Möglichkeit, die sowohl den Horizont der Arbeit enorm erweiterte, als auch über so manche Krisen hinweghalf, sei auch ihnen herzlich gedankt. Das anstrengende und umfangreiche Korrekturlesen des Manuskripts übernahmen Strahil Panajotov, M.A. (Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg), Dr. Edda Binder-Ijima (Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg), Julia Itin, M.A. (Martin Luther Universität Halle-Wittenberg) und Ivana Cubelić, denen für diese Leistung nicht genug zu danken ist. Die Kontrolle der deutschen Übersetzungen der im Anhang befindlichen bulgarischen Quellen übernahm dankenswerterweise Dr. habil. Blagovest Zlatanov Veličkov (Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg). Alle Fehler und Unklarheiten, die im Text enthalten sind, gehen nicht auf sie zurück, sondern fallen einzig und alleine in die Verantwortlichkeit des Autors. Schließlich danke ich meinen Eltern, Ralph und Karin Nehring, für ihre uneingeschränkte Unterstützung und Förderung während des gesamten Zeitraums meines Studiums, mitsamt seinen Irrwegen.

  • '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.

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.

  • 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.
