| Publisher Description: 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. |
