After the study of fieldwork research data (texts and phonograms) from more than 50 settlements in Kazanlak Valley gathered from the late 19th century to the 1980s and preserved at the Musical Phono-archive of the Institute of Art Studies at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences the author was further provoked to find additional examples from the region in other sources.Without pretending to fully exhaust the theme, the text reviews the different collections (published and unpublished) which contain folk music from Kazanlak region – both collections dedicated to various settlements in Kazanlak Valley and collections from the wider geographic and music dialect region of Thrace containing among others examples from Kazanlak region. The reviewing of these examples in scholarly work (monographs, studies and articles), in published compendia dedicated to musical folklore, in the publications of the local historians, as well as of some archival sources, is the first attempt for a systematic representation of the collection of the folklore treasure of the region in the course of time, as well as of its presentation in different publications.

On the basis of one voynuk register from 1529, as well as of three lists of timars and waqfs from 1516, 1530 and 1570, new data about the voynuk and rayah population of eleven settlements situated south of today’s town of Pazardzhik at the foot of the Western Rhodopes, is presented in the article. Most of these voynuk villages were within the borders of the Chepino nahiya, which in different times was part of the Samokov or Tatar Pazardzhik kazas. The data from the voynuk register of 1529 and from one waqf list from 1570 gives reasons to disprove the legendary knowledge about the presence of a big group of voynuks in the Chepino region, who according to the published by Stefan Zahariev “chronicle story” of Priest Metodi Draginov, became the main reason for the allegedly violent imposing of Islam among the local population. There was the opinion that this part of the “chronicle story” is fictional interpretation by Stefan Zahariev himself. The obvious contradiction between the historical reality and the “chronicle” of Metodi Draginov consists of the fact that in the first half of ХVІ century no big group of voynuks, except for three voynuk families from the village of Rakitovo, lived in the villages in the Chepino region. In ХVІІ century, when according to the “chronicle note”, the dramatic events of islamization of the voynuks from the Chepino region allegedly happened, this population category had long before disappeared from the historic scenery of this region of Bulgaria, as around 1570 the last voynuks from Rakitovo were recorded as ordinary rayah from the waqf of Sultan Suleiman I Kanuni.

The aim of the report is to inform the scientific community about a new, previously unknown and very interesting collection of documents chronologically and thematically related to the recent history of Bulgaria. The archive was created by Todor Hristov Puliev (1837-1913), a successor to and representative of the great Pulievs’ family from Karlovo. After his death the documents were kept by the family of a politician well known in the past Theodor Theodorov, whose granddaughter Nadezhda Teodorova donated the archive to the archive collection of BHA. The report consists of two parts – the author’s text and 13 documents. In the first part the author provides biographical information about Todor Hr. Puliev, presents his donations and the kinship ties of the Pulievs. Then she makes a review of the documents arranging them by type, origin and content. The archive is a treasure trove for researchers of the post-liberation history. Thematically it contains a wealth of data testifying to persons and events, problems of everyday life, business, mentality and culture of the social stratum to which Todor Puliev belonged. This is evident from the documents selected for publication.

This paper discusses the different use and understanding of the concept of civil society in Serbian sociology. We analyzed The articles published in the three representative sociological journals - Sociology, Themes and Sociological Review - published in the period after 2000. The transition between the two millennia is considered to be important in this area, since the regime change led to the more straightforward direction towards European integration of Serbia, and to the adoption of the Western values and standards. In this context, civil society as a political project and the scientific concept became especially socially relevant. However, despite the expectation that scientific papers and studies dealing with the concept of civil society will be relatively numerous, analysis has shown that the concept mostly remained outside the main currents of sociological thought.
