The article traces part of the discussions in Western studies about the meaning of the terms “Americanization” and “Sovietization”. The accents are placed on the impact of the promoted “American values” in Eastern Europe, especially in the USSR. More details are revealed about the mechanisms of influence used by the US Missions in Bulgaria after 1945 such as providing free access to the library of the political representation of the United States; donation of books and movies to various departments of the Sofia University, community centers and even Fatherland Front organizations. By overcoming the crisis in diplomatic relations of February 1950, despite ideological restrictions educational exchanges with the exchange of students, graduate students, and lecturers were restored after 1959. Pro-Western propaganda was also carried out through the activity of Radio “Voice of America”, Radio“Free Europe”, and BBC. The grueling confrontation between East and West gradually provoked ideas for “detente” that removed barriers between the two poles, but also raised requirements for adjustments in the behavior of the superpowers.

The second half of the 1940s is a crucial transition period in establishing totalitarian control of society. The decor of pluralism and parliamentarism brought specific color in the life of Bulgarians in the first years after September 9, 1944. The Communist Party in Bulgaria,aided by the entry of the Red Army in Bulgaria and the arrangements between the members of the anti-Hitler coalition, actually became ruling political force, but did not immediately establish a dictatorship of the proletariat in the form of Soviet rule. The destruction of the old authority structures was followed by a period of existence of a parallel unregulated power at all levels. The orchestrated political pluralism did not provide for any serious political role for the coalition partners of BRP (k), whose political platforms detached from the historical context, were quite harmless. A side effect in the movement towards a totalitarian society was the emergence of opposition, which briefly stirred Bulgarian political space and created the illusion of political pluralism in the country. The regime defined itself as a “people’s democracy”, but behind the propaganda thesis about the authority practice shows violation of pluralism, constant interference in the internal life of the other parties, strict regulation of all components of public and political life, criminalization of dissent, including the whole society into state organizations working under the ideological and political leadership of the Communist Party. The affirmation of the communist regime was accompanied by the formation of party-bureaucratic class which acquired the status, powers and privileges, access to which remained limited for members of other parties. Corrupting party cadres, sensitive to domestic benefits, began in the first months after September 9 and gradually became a dominant practice that turned into hallmark of the regime and existed until the end of the 1980s.

През декември 2023 г. в чл. 150, ал. 2 от Конституцията (КРБ) бе уредена въз- можност всеки съд да сезира Конституционния съд (КС). За по-малко от 6 месеца (към 15 юни 2024 г.) в Конституционния съд (КС) постъпиха общо 8 искания от съдилища, различни от ВКС/ВАС, повечето от които бяха отклонени1, основно поради неспазване на изискването на чл. 18, ал. 3 от Пра- вилника за организация на дейността на КС (ПОДКС)2: искането да съдържа „аргу- ментирана преценка на приложимото право, включително относно последиците от действието на правото на Европейския съюз, когато оспорената разпоредба или акт е в приложното му поле”. Поради това имат много голяма практическа важност въпросите какво е длъ- жен да направи съдът ipso jure по всяко дело, преди, а и за да може, да сезира КС, и в частност в какво се изразяват изискванията за аргументирана преценка на приложимото право (Първа част) и за аргументирана преценка относно после- диците от действието на правото на ЕС (Втора и Трета част).

The remarkable work of the Holy Brothers Cyril and Methodius has been an object of veneration from the 9th century to the present day, and it became an object of scientific study and research much later: initially the research of philologists and historians was fundamental, but later philosophers, theologians, archaeologists, art historians, ethnologists and folklorists, archeographers and bibliographers also contributed, as well as a number of specialists in the field of the so-called auxiliary scientific disciplines of paleography, codicology, filigranology, etc. The life and work of the Apostles to the Slavs, the sources about them, their philological heritage, the Old Bulgarian alphabets, 20 the earliest translations and original works, the educational and literary work of their direct students, the literary, artistic and folklore Cyrillo-Methodian traditions after the 12th century and to this day are part of the Cyrillo-Methodian scientific studies. In 2023 two important academic anniversaries were celebrated: 110 years since the establishment of the Clement Commission (December 12, 1913) and 60 years since the restoration of the Cyrillo-Methodian Commission (May 22, 1963). Along with them, the 1160th anniversary of the establishment of the Cyrillo-Methodian script was also celebrated. The Cyrillo-Methodian Research Center at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences declared 2023 a jubilee year and organized a number of events related to the calendar dates for honoring the Slavic apostles and their students. The most solemn event was the international scientific conference “Cyrillo-Methodian Legacy in Scholarship and Cultural Memory”. It was organized within the framework of the National Scientific Program “Development and Promotion of Bulgarian Studies Abroad” of the Ministry of Education and Science. The conference was held in Sofia from May 22 to 24, 2023 and was attended by 40 Bulgarian scholars from various humanitarian institutes at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and departments of the universities in Sofia, Shumen and Blagoevgrad, as well as 25 foreign scholars from 11 countries – from Austria, Great Britain, India, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, USA, Slovakia, Ukraine and the Czech Republic, representing dozens of universities and scientific centers around the world. A total of 60 reports were read and the topic of the Cyrillo-Methodian work was covered in very wide temporal, territorial and semantic boundaries: from the direct early Cyrillo-Methodian sources, through which the foundations of the autonomous interdisciplinary humanitarian field of Cyrillo-Methodian studies are laid, to the late traditions related to the use of the Cyrillic alphabet and the affirmation of the national identities of the Slavic peoples. This trend has been maintained in the present volume: it contains 27 articles by 29 authors – all of whom participated in the conference. Their research, read as reports in 2023 and published as extended scholarly works now, in 2025, reflects the peculiarities of Cyrillo-Methodian research of recent years.
