Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the authenticity of the poems by Rada Kazaliyska(1821 – 1907), a teacher, published in the Rodopski Ustrem newspaper in the 1960s. They have been preserved in transcripts of relatives, and have dates and exact locations – To my Father (the village of Gorno Raykovo, August 10, 1852) and To my Mother and her Speech (the village of Raykovo, 1853,May 11th). These texts contain echoes of conceptions and invocations that are familiar from the poetry of Dobri Chintulov, Stefan Stambolov and Ivan Vazov. Thanks to the poems attributed to Kazaliyska one can observe a specific type of media – authenticity construction, based on specific sociocultural and political situations from the past and the present century.
