Ежедневието на българския колонист в Руската империя през очите на неговите съвременници (XIX – началото на ХХ век)
The Daily Life of the Bulgarian Colonists in the Russian Empire in the Eyes of Their Contemporaries (Nineteenth – the Beginning of the Twentieth Century)

Summary/Abstract: The appearance of Bulgarians on the territory of the Russian Empire in the 18th – 19th centuries is associated with the Russian policy of colonization. The government of the Empire uses the Bulgarians to solve its own problems of settling the southern regions of the country. At the same time, the Bulgarians are provided with social and economic benefits that facilitate their settlement and allow them to create lots of colonies in Novorossiya. These colonies were the subject of research by a number of Russian historians, statisticians, ethnographers and even the military – A. Skalkowsky, A. Klaus, Bishop Hermogenes, N. Derzhavin, etc. In their works, the authors examined the history of the settlement of the southern regions of the Empire by Bulgarian colonists and their benefits for these provinces. They visited the Bulgarian colonies and communicated directly with the colonists. As the results they left interesting testimonies about the daily life of the Bulgarians, about their spiritual, moral and mental qualities.
