Summary/Abstract: The study highlights three types of underestimated issues in regards to the Bulgarian reception of foreign historiography on modern Bulgaria: first – the attitude of the Bulgarian historical science towards what has been written about Bulgarian history from the 19th to the 20th century abroad; second – the reasons for the limitations of the foreign research view on Bulgarian history; third – the benefit of knowing foreign studies of national history. Some signs of the negative attitude twards foreign publications are analyzed. Examples of foreign contributions to the war history from the second decade of the 20th century, in which Bulgaria participates, are shown. The text is ispired by an article by Bernard Lory, published in the same issue of the journal.
