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. Indeed, 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. Register of the Kyril Drenikoff 88009 3 Papers 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, 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, are found in a series of their own. 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 is to 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 his participation in both world wars well documented, there is also material relating to Georgi Drenikoff's 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 audiotapes, relating mostly to Bulgarian history and culture.

Ivan Doeheff, President, Bulgarian National Front, Incorporated (BNFJ, an anti-Commu- nist Bulgarian emigre organization, advised Special Agents (SAS) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that about one year ago, he met captioned individuals who had escaped from Bulgaria and were admitted to the United States as con- ditional entrants. In an effort to help them, he and other members of the BliF sought employment for them in the New York City area. Although, they were offered jobs as laborers,they refused these offers, and it was soon obvious to Docheff that they were not interested in obtaining employment. After some.months, Docheff learned that Dotov and Todorov were meeting Bulgarians in the New York City area, and were keeping records of those they met and their Bulgari- an backgrounds. He also noticed that they were interested in having him dideuss domestic and international politics. When he refused to enter into such discussions, they told him they had "special wurk" to do, and were not only interested in gathering information about Bulgarians in this country but were also interested in information about political matters. At one point, they mentioned that they were gathering this information so they could check on Bulgarians in the United States who might, in the future, return to Bulgaria.

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.

  • The Communists and the Bulgarian . Orthodox
    . The Communists and the Bulgarian .Orthodox Church, 1944-48: The Rise and Fall of Exarch Stefan SPAS T.RAIKIN For a long time before the communist takeover in Bulgaria on 9 Sep­ tember 1944, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and the Communist Party had been in a state of open hostility. The Bulgarian communists held firmly to the Marxist view that religion is the opium ofthe people. They carried on agitation at every level to discredit religion and the Church-. Intellectuals were told that to hold any religious beliefs is to regress to superstition. For the peasants and working classes, the priest was reduced to an object of ridicule for his laziness and immorality, illustrated with many degrading stories. This campaign, waged largely by young men who had. received some education in provincial towns, was conducted primarily in village taverns and on street corners where peasant youth congregated in the absence of any other social outlets, and was highly successful. To this challenge the Church could not find an adequate response. The mutually exclusive philosophical positions of Church and communism deprived both Church and Party of any point of contact. They remained total strangers, completely opposed to each other. The Communist Party never tried to infiltrate the Church or to create its own following there. Unlike the Orthodox Church in Yugoslavia, where numerous priests found themselves in the partisan groups of Marshal Tito, the Bulgarian Church was conspicuously absent from the "Fatherland Front" organised by the communists as a front to take over the country in 1944. The Church was part of the political and social order in the country, and was dependent upon this order for its survival.

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.
