Социална опора на Либералната (Радославистката) партия (края на XIX – началото на XX в.)
Social Basis of the Liberal (Radoslavov’s) Party (at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century)

Summary/Abstract: The Liberal (Radoslavov’s) Party is one of the major parties of the bourgeois democratic system in Bulgaria. It is involved in every success and failure of the young Bulgarian state in the period between the Unification of the Bulgarian Principality and East Roumelia till the end of the World War. An attempt is made to define the main social groups, forming the Liberal party and expressing their interests through it. The Party comprises representatives from almost all social strata of Bulgarian society. But their representation is unevenly distributed. Numerically prevail the groups of the small landowners and dealers, but they do not play a decisive role in the formation of the party policy. It is played instead by the representatives of the middle class such as merchants, landowners and some industrialists. However, major industrialists, workers, craftsmen and intellectuals are only poorly represented in the party. An attempt is made to characterize the so-called “political figure” epitomizing the Liberal Party activities.
