Summary/Abstract: Abstract: In 1867 an anonymous brochure was in Belgrade with title “Глас едного родолюбца за съюз Югославяния“ (“Voice of a patriot for the union of the South Slavs”). “Knigopis za sto godini” by Alexander Teodorov-Balan accepts that the authorship of the text belongs to the Bulgarian revolutionary G. S. Rakovski. “Bulgarska vazrozhdenska knizhnina” by Mayo Stoyanov supposes that the text may belong to the great revivalist. „Bio-bibliografia of Rakovski” by Rositsa Petrova-Vasileva supports Balan’s theory. In the scholarly literature this question was not researched systematically. There was no significant interest in the text. The only critical responses were written by the founder of the bulgarian theater Dobri Voynikov and the slavist Boris Yocov. Voynikov did not comment on the authorship, while Yocov rejected the theory that Rakovski wrote the text. The text itself presents a concept of uniting the South Slavs in one country with one language and with a goal to resist the extinction of the different South Slavs.
