In fact, this phenomenon has its own originality and uniqueness - it develops under the influence of historical background, socio-political, economic and cultural conditions, regional and national characteristics. Despite all these multifaceted mutual influences, the ancestral memory of the settlers is preserved and forms the subjective specificity of the Bulgarians of Ternovo.
