The Bulgarian Czechs / Bulharští Češi /  Българските чехи
Language: Bulgarian, English, Czech

   The album accompanies the exhibition “The Bulgarian Czechs” jointly realized by the Bulgarian News Agency and the Archives State Agency

   Following the Liberation in 1878, the young Bulgarian state embarked at a rapid pace on the path of institution building, economic modernization and spiritual development, a long process that required the efforts of trained and educated specialists. At the dawn of its development, Bulgarian society did not have enough cadres to meet the requirements of the times. In order to fill the gaps, the education and work of several generations were required.

   That is why the appreciation and gratitude of Bulgarians towards the first Czechs who arrived in post-Liberation Bulgaria and made their contribution to its construction, are immense. It is indisputable that in every area of public life there is a record of the names of Czechs who, with their knowledge and skills, contributed to the prosperity of Bulgaria.

   It was entrepreneurial, active and progressive Czech specialists in different branches of production that came to Bulgaria. They were craftsmen, polygraphers, brewers, builders. Prominent Czech intellectuals especially invited by the government of the young state — highly educated teachers, engineers, architects, historians, artists, musicians — also connected their fate with Bulgaria. All of them, working for many years with persistence and dedication, each in their field, laid the foundations of the major cultural and business institutions in the modernizing, fraternal Slavic state. They left a rich heritage of scientific research and discoveries, paintings and musical works, which, even to this day, are part of the excellent exemplars of our spiritual heritage.
