Summary/Abstract: This article aims to present the role and tasks of the opposition press in the years between 1944 and 1947, and more specifically the way in which they reflected the public mood towards the new political power. This is a special period of Bulgaria's socialist past, in which the opposition newspapers play a key role not only in countering the new political regime through their own information and propaganda flow but also function as a sign of the personally declared disagreement with the new political and social order by their numerous readers. These characteristics inherent in the press of this period make it not only a significant resource for researchers of the recent past but also a key to understanding the specific everyday place of the individual in the grand historical narrative.
