Summary/Abstract: The article examines the role of the 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑧ℎ𝑑𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑛 (Citizen) magazine in the protection of civil liberties in the first decade of the 20th century. It has been singled out as the first independent scientific and educational conceptual project, ambitious to form the modern citizen. The magazine is dedicated to the mission of educating and enlightening civil society through a printed edition in the field of the fundamental knowledge for any democracy – constitutional rights, freedoms, and obligations. For this purpose, articles published in the democratic press and in the specialized press with legal themes from the first decade of the century have been studied, which outline the context in which the programmatic texts by Stefan Kirov, published in 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑧ℎ𝑑𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑛, are examined. In this article, for the first time, pages from Stefan Kirov’s unpublished memoirs related to the publication of 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑧ℎ𝑑𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑛 are published.
