Summary/Abstract: The direct and spontaneous human communication evoked by important political and social events brings to life situations which are fruitful ground for artists’ activity. It is typical for every human being to seek a reason for and a way of communication and to feel the need for expressing one’s own position. These circumstances are often a most provoking factor for folklore creativity as a reaction to the actual, striking, dramatic events to happen. Such forms of folklore focused on situations and events have been intensively created after November 10th, 1989, which was a year of crucial political changes in Bulgaria. However, it is not a unique phenomenon. Retrospectively, the same kind of folklore had been already created in other historical moments of the kind in our country.
