Summary/Abstract: The article examines the green movement in Bulgaria as a social and political actor and its role in the democratization of Bulgarian political life over the past 30 years (1989-2017), known as the ‘period of change’. The study focuses on the individual and generational characteristics of green activism and defines some specific oppositions and divisions within the movement. Particular emphasis is placed on the contribution of the movement to the Europeanization of the political agenda in the country, as well as its constructive role as an opponent of the socio-political status quo, which emerged after the collapse of the totalitarian regime.The article focuses on the specific role of the Bulgarian national culture and its imprint on the features of green campaigns and activism in Bulgaria.
