Неназована балканска държава, в която всички говорят български и по български са готови да оцеляват, е управлявана от бивши контрабандисти на културни ценности, които издигат историята в култ, за да създадат у хората усещане за добруване и значимост. Сигурността и всенародното щастие са гарантирани от строго охранявана реална и виртуална граница, контролиран интернет и вездесъщите лозунги "Нашето минало е нашето бъдеще". Мъглявото, но героично минало е основен инструмент, с който властта оправдава абсурдите на настоящето, липсата на бъдеще и притъпения до замръзване инстинкт за добро и зло. В Народната родина ... |

Icon painting in Bulgaria is closely connected with the historical destiny of the Bulgarian people and with Christianity adopted in 865 as official state religion. That was the time of the emergence of a new pictorial system, interpreted and evolved on the basis of a rich ancient artistic heritage of the Graeco-Roman and Thracian cultures, but subordinated to the traditions and lifestyle of the proto-Bulgarian and Slavonic tribes, a fact which makes it so original. The ceramic icons made in the late 9th and early 10th century in Preslav, the capital of the First Bulgarian state and the surrounding monasteries reveal the ... |
