Summary/Abstract: This article examines the processes of construction of national identity in Plovdiv during the 1850s. The exposition is on two parallel lines. One traces the conflict and the degree of confrontation between Bulgarians and Greeks/grecomans in Plovdiv on a national basis in the field of enlightenment, everyday communication and church organization. The other line reveals the participation of Nayden Gerov ‒ a teacher (1850‒1853) and Russian consular agent in Plovdiv (after 1857) ‒ in the creation of Bulgarian national consciousness in the still subject to strong Greek influence city of Plovdiv. The argumentation of the thesis is made using a rich documentary material from the published and unpublished archive of Nayden Gerov.
