Summary/Abstract: By tracing the main social roles of the Bulgarian Antichrist, Em. Stanev expresses his own views on the psychology of the ethnos, thought of as a contribution to the creation of a future philosophy of our native history. The main conclusion is that historically Bulgarians are actively seeking their own god who will give a meaning to their existence, but the specific time does not offer them a doctrine corresponding to their nature. The only possible prospect for the spiritually and physically abused Bulgarians is to serve their own people.
