ГРАДСКИ ВЛИЯНИЯ В ЖИВОТА НА СЕЛОТО ОТ КРАЯ НА XIX ДО ПЪРВАТА ПОЛОВИНА НА XX В (по материали от Варненско и Варна)
THE INFLUENCE OF THE TOWN ON VILLAGE LIFE – THE END OF XIX - FIRST HALF OF XX C. (On data from Varna and Varna region)

Summary/Abstract: The increasing influence of Varna on the near villages life after the Liberation, is due to the fact, that as an industrial, trade and cultural centre it is becoming a leading factor in the development of market economy in the region. Here are revealed the mechanisms of this influence: the state administrative and economical institutions; the free movement from the town to villages of people, investing capitals in agriculture and stock-breeding; the movement from villages to the town of people, who strive to acquire trade and craft abilities; the personal contacts between town and village people. The perception of town mode of life (the attitudes toward hygiene, the arrangement of houses and yards, the changes in personal relations, etc.) differs in degree and time in villages according to their economical state, the distance from the town; it is different also for the different social strata. In the social sphere of everyday-life the influence of the town penetrates more quickly. It is revealed in new planning and organization of public services, in the new arrangement of villages with an accent on villages square. The initiative for all these changes and for the aggregation of village people to main cultural achievements usually belongs to the intellectuals. Here are mentioned also some new elements in the traditional feast system, the appearence of new feasts and celebrations of local or state distribution, which contribute much to the formation of national consciousness. There are some negative tendences in the perception of ready-made models from town life, too.
