Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with part of the dramatic woks by a most tolerated and staged Bulgarian playwright under communism, Todor Manev, who published his plays under the penname Kamen Zidarov. The study focuses on those of his dramatic works that feature the recent past such as “Tsar’s Pardon” (1949), “For the Honour of the Epaulette (1957), etc., rather than on his dramas presenting moments of Bulgarian history that have unfolded in the remote past. Analysing them, the article highlights four main female figures, constructed and functioning in a historical and political context of the coming and development of communism with the ideology and normative aesthetics characteristic of this regime.
