Beskrivning

The book is comprised of the four major debates on modern Bulgarian history from Independence in 1878 to the fall of communism in 1989. The debates are on the Bulgarian–Russian/Soviet relations, on the relations between Agrarians and Communists, on Bulgarian Fascism, and on Communism. They are associated with the rule of key political personalities in Bulgarian history: Stambolov (1887–1894), Stamboliiski (1919–1923), Tsar Boris III (1918–1943), and the communist leaders Georgi Dimitrov and Todor Zhivkov (1956–1989). The debates are traced through their various articulations and dramatic turns from their beginnings to the present day.

Recensioner i media

"This intelligent, competent and methodologically rigorous analysis of Bulgarian historiography from the 19th century to the present is one of the few genuinely modern historiographical syntheses in the East European field. It thus contributes significantly to the gradual de-provincialization of the discipline." - Maria Todorova, Gutgsell Professor of History at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
