At other side, the answer to the question, "Why are you ashamed to call youself Bulgarian?" is more than obvious: there is in the present time to be proud of. The above-described situation makes preservation and popularization of Bulgarian History extraordinarily important. If it ... |

La recherche tend vers la pluralité: il est toujours possible aux cas analysés d'ajouter d'autres. Il est inapproprié de distinguer rigoureusement le regard envers la France du regard envers l'Occident, comme aussi des contacts avec les ... |
