ABSTRACT

The text tries to sketch very briefly the significance and peaks in the literature of Bulgarian political emigration. It absolutely agrees with the statement of the writer Dimitar Bochev that we must finally consider what was created by emigration as a “natural part of the national organism“. The essay traces the history of emigrant waves and their contribution to our liberation from Bolshevik dogmas and the urge to write a new, non-ideological history of our literature, in which the emigrants starting from Grigoriy Tsamblak to Georgi Markov and Krasimir Damyanov to be equally present, not forgetting the internal emigrants such as Konstantin Pavlov and Nikolay Kanchev.
