Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes of mnemotopos of liberty present in the Bulgarian and Polish literary traditions. In both the literatures a lot of motifs, topics, figures and places expressing liberty and drawing inspiration mainly from national history can be found. The symbolic liberation repertoire consolidated by literary texts constitutes a significant tribute to Bulgarian and Polish cultural memory. In 2018 a bilingual Bulgarian and Polish volume of verse Sofia Berlin by Plamen Doynov was published, it introduces deliberations on the origin, realization and critical valuation of liberty based on specific memory figures recognized by Bulgarian-Polish readers. They help to understand the significance of Central and East-European processes of (post) transformation, transculturation, migration, globalization on which traumatic experiences of the (Nazi and communist) past are superimposed.
