The image of Gotse Delchev is among the most recognizable in Bulgarian history, which is why talking and writing about him is both very easy and very difficult. The descriptions of the contemporaries about the external, physical appearance of the Apostle of Macedonia and about his inner, spiritual world, coincide almost completely. Above all, Gotse Delchev deserves to remain as he was remembered by the people who left testimonies about him – perhaps the kindest revolutionary, the brightest image in the history of Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization (IMARO), guardian of historical justice for Macedonian Bulgarians.

Apart from the history of the Bulgarian national liberation struggles in Macedonia and the Adrianople region, Gotse Delchev deservedly remains in the history of Bulgarian education, enlightenment and spirituality. From the time he graduated from the military school until his transition into illegality, the only legal activity that Gotse Delchev performed was teaching. Therefore, we can rightfully place him in the ranks of prominent Bulgarian revivalists, in the ranks of people’s awakeners, in the ranks of Bulgarian teachers – revolutionaries along side Botev, Levski, Rakovski and Dame Gruev.

The issue of Gotse Delchev ’s inclusion in IMARO’s disciplinary policy is part of a wider debate about the Committee’s purposeful attempts to infiltrate the daily lives of its members, primarily the Bulgarian population in the Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace regions of the Ottoman Empire. This policy was important for IMARO from the point of view of expediency and raising its authority. G. Delchev showed an attitude towards the innovations that the Organization imposed in the field of revolutionary justice, education and morality. All these components were subordinated to the revolutionary purposefulness, on the one hand, and to the desire to cultivate a new civilized social order, on the other.

Based on a specific case, Gotse Delchev’ s desire to expand, even at the cost of certain compromises, the organizational base and influence of IMARO is shown. Although the head of the Detachment Institute (the paramilitary structure of the Internal Organization), in his personal practice Delchev considered violence as a last resort and usually refrained from it. This significantly distinguishes him from the other combat leaders of IMARO.

The article analyzes the first program documents of IMARO (Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization) – the statutes and regulations of BMARC (Bulgarian Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Committees) from 1896 and the statutes and regulations of SMARO (Secret Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization)from 1902. Their continuity with the normative base of the Internal Revolutionary Organization (IRO) before the Liberation of Bulgaria (1878) and with the revolutionary formations in the period1878 – 1893 is examined. A parallel is also drawn with the Statutes of the Macedonian-Adrianople Organization (MAO) in the Principality of Bulgaria. The main emphasis is placed on the participation of Gotse Delchev in the preparation of the program documents of the Internal Organization, as well as his diverse activities during this period.

This paper deals with the reading histories of a formally-educated fictional woman within the pages of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1847). Jane Eyre’s reading habits raise questions concerning the dissemination of texts, the anxieties surrounding intellectual, lively women in the 19th century and the moral, spiritual and psychological repercussions of their reading interests in an era predominantly defined by anti-fiction prejudices. Although between the 1860s and the 1890s novels partially stopped raising eyebrows; sentimental fiction, Gothic romances and other popular genres were still associated with outrageous actions and promiscuous scenarios. Reading was affiliated with passivity, escapism, delusion and rebelliousness, no matter how hard novelists tried to bail their texts out and make a bona fide effort to encourage active, critical reading. Nowadays, the controversial status of female readers has not melted away completely, it has only avoided attracting attention to itself. The present paper shows how Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre serve as a gateway to the cultural and political atmosphere of the 19th century and, by extension, assesses the reading practices enacted by women in the informing context of the Victorian period.

We go to the encounter with Christ with disinterested, enlightened, unlimited faith. This is how the faith of a true Christian must be: it must have as its center not one's own self, but the infallible word of God. We believe because God is true and because He has spoken. We believe in faith, not because we can control its truth directly, but only relying on God, who in his sublime intelligence can neither deceive nor deceive us, and who in his great goodness wanted to reveal truths inaccessible to the human intellect alone. The individual and the community must strengthen their faith with a profound study of the revealed truths, adequate to their intelligence and responsibilities.

The current article aims to present facts about the development of the profession of the dental technician from its origin to the formation of its present status which is a result of the great social and political changes taking place near the end of 20th and the beginning of the 21st century in Bulgaria. To achieve the goal, we studied literature sources, normative documents, personal archives, in-depth interview narratives related to the history of the association “Union of Dental Technicians in Bulgaria”. The profession begins its development as a private practice activity. The practitioners are apprentices, journey- men and dental master technicians. Along with the private practice, a small number of public laboratories and organized cooperatives emerge. After the beginning of 1974 dental technicians work only for state and departmental laboratories. Subsequently, the state dental technical laboratories are transformed into municipal ones. After 1990 dental technicians working for the state sector are given the opportunity to register and work additionally from 2 to 4 hours as private entre- preneurs. Gradually the municipal and departmental laboratories are closed. The laboratories subordinate to the dental faculties remain the only active ones and private practice becomes predominant.
