THE ACTIVITY OF THE KOMITADJI IN SOUTHERN DOBRUDJA IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD– HYBRID THREAT OR NATIONALIST TERRORISM?-

Summary/Abstract: The article considers the main features of Bulgarian revisionism in the interwar period, primarily substantiated by the activity of the Komitadji gangs in Southern Dobrudja. Following the presentation of the main available definitions of hybrid threat and nationalist terrorism, the author concludes that the actions of the Komitadji gangs were performed at political, military, and economic level, entailing guerrilla and psychological warfare techniques, intimidation, bribery, propaganda, methods still used today in conflicts subsumed under the category of hybrid warfare or nationalist terrorism. An important mention related to such types of action is that they are organised and conducted so that they cannot be addressed employing traditional specific military means.
