Summary/Abstract: The article’s task is to generally clarify the grounds for the theoretical reversal in Asen Ignatov’s concepts by diachronically pointing out the main theoretical changes in them. At the same time, synchronic analysis is related to indicating general attitudes, ideological and political frameworks, and actions during the fixed time period. This would allow us to go beyond the personal reasons for such a transition, and to build a more complete picture of this inversion respectively, both in theoretical and socio-political terms. The article seeks to reveal what the consequences are of perceiving the dogmatic limitation of Marxism in socialist countries, as well as Ignatov’s position on this. In this way, the synergistic action of the various factors studied would expand the possibility of a truer understanding of the events in Ignatov’s creative life after his emigration in 1972.
