On this day in 1878, the last Russian-Turkish War officially ended, and the preliminary Treaty of San Stefano was signed, making Bulgaria a free country. 2. St. George's Day – Day of Bravery and the Bulgarian Army (May 6th) Along with the official celebrations of the day, this is the name day for the more than 5% of Bulgarians who are named after St. George. Some Bulgarians celebrate their name day more festively than their birthday. A grilled whole lamb is the traditional meal for the day. Every person celebrating their Name Day should be prepared to welcome uninvited visitors into their homes. 3.

  • The Theory of the Hun Origin in Contemporary Bulgaria E
    Вестник СПбГУ. История. 2020. Т. 65. Вып. 4 The Theory of the Hun Origin in Contemporary Bulgaria E. A. Koloskov For citation: Koloskov E. A. The Theory of the Hun Origin in Contemporary Bulgaria. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. History, 2020, vol. 65, issue 4, рp. 1245–1258. https://doi.org/10.21638/11701/spbu02.2020.414 The article is devoted to the history of the formation and transformation of the theory of the Huns in contemporary Bulgaria through the prism of the political history of the country from the beginning of the debate about the origin of Bulgarians up to present day. The article exam- ines how political reality impacted the processes of shaping scholarly and educational images, i.e. constructing a “convenient” usable past by the Bulgarian academic and non-academic cir- cles. The main aspect in the study is related to the question of various interpretations of the ethnic origin of the Bulgars, the Huns and the role of the Slavic factor in the ethnogenesis of the contemporary Bulgarians. The milestones of the difficult history of Bulgaria and changes in political regimes have become the reasons for rejecting “Slavic” origin or, in some case, returning to it depending on external and internal circumstances. Today the Hun theory in all its variations and interpretations lies outside the professional scope of academic circles but is becoming the domain for various marginals. However, increasing activity of the right and the far-right in the politics of Europe capitalizing on the 2015 refugee crisis might return to the mainstream of official academic discourse the theory of the Hun The upcoming challenges of foreign policy (Euro-skepticism, ambitious projects outside the EU framework) and internal political issues (the question of national minorities) may also have a significant impact on this issue.

  • Petition to Unesco Against the Appropriation of Bulgarian Language, History and Culture by Republic of Macedonia
    1 PETITION TO UNESCO AGAINST THE APPROPRIATION OF BULGARIAN LANGUAGE, HISTORY AND CULTURE BY REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA Dear Mrs Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO We, the undersigned bulgarians from Bulgaria, Republic of Macedonia and other parts of the world, also people with different ethnic backgrounds are appealing to you with the request... the appropriation of Bulgarian language, history, culture and their desecration to be stopped. We insist the Bulgarian language in Republic of Macedonia not to be proclaimed for "Macedonian"! We turn to you as the highest authority responsible for the protection of culture and cultural heritage in the world, where language takes an important place as the spiritual heritage of a nation. Therefore we are asking you to take a stand in resolving the injustice which the bulgarian nation has endured for 65 years now. We stipulate for the protection and preservation of Bulgarian language, historical and cultural identity as part of the world's cultural heritage as a whole. In support of this are the numerous international documents such as Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the UN (Article 27), the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of UN (Article 13 and 15), and the Universal Declaration of Cultural Diversity of UNESCO since 2001. According to these documents everyone has the right to express, create and disclose his own works in his native language. These rights are an inseparable part of all human rights which are universal and indivisible. We are supplementing our requirements and expectations towards UNESCO with solid and concrete facts and examples showing the systematic abuse and encroachment of Bulgarian language, history and culture which are of paramount importance to the cultural and historical identity of the bulgarian nation.

  • Nationalism in Practice: Assimilation, Expulsion, And
    NATIONALISM IN PRACTICE: ASSIMILATION, EXPULSION, AND EXTERMINATION IN THE BALKANS, 1913-1945 _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San DiegoStateUniversity _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History _______________ by Josef M. Djordjevski Summer 2012 iii Copyright © 2012 by Josef M. Djordjevski All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION For Baba and Dedo, who lived through many of the events described in here. v The right to be no one is guaranteed me by the constitution of this country. Citizens are not obliged to declare their nationality if they don’t want to, I say. In real life it’s different, they say, everybody is obliged to be someone. That’s just why we have wars, I say, because everyone agreed to belong to their own blood group. That’s why we have wars, they say, because people like you wanted us all to be no one. --Dubravka Ugresic, Nice People Don’t Mention Such Things vi ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Nationalism in Practice: Assimilation, Expulsion, and Extermination in the Balkans, 1913-1945 by Josef M. Djordjevski Master of Arts in History San Diego State University, 2012 This work examines how force has been used in the process of nation-building in the Balkans from the Balkan Wars to the end of World War II, particularly among the Slavs of Macedonia and the Serbs of Croatia. By looking at the development of nationalism from its conception in the 18th and 19th centuries to its “apogee” in the first half of the 20th century, this thesis also explores Balkan events and ideas of nationality and nationhood in the region while putting them into a broader European context.
