The Kharkiv School of Historical Bulgarian Studies: Phases of Development and Present State
Abstract
The article offers a retrospective look at the development of historical Bulgarian studies at Kharkiv University over the last 177 years. The author identifies its main phases and concludes that during the era of Ukrainian independence a long scholarly tradition has transformed into a full-fledged research school that meets the principal criteria for this concept, namely: a fixed object of research and an organizational platform in the form of the Marin Drinov Center for Bulgarian and Balkan Studies; a critical mass of qualified scholars who have made a significant contribution to the knowledge of the historical past of the Bulgarian people, mainly during the early modern and modern era; and a regular academic forum (the Drinov Readings) and research periodical (“The Drinov Collection”) that are associated in the academic world with the Kharkiv hub of Bulgarian studies. This research school has a recognized leader – the only Ukrainian historian elected as a foreign member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (2013), who directs the work of a well-thought-out system of postgraduate talent selection and training. The accomplishments of Karazin University scholars found recognition in the publication by the Prof. Marin Drinov Publishing House of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences of the bibliographic index “The Kharkiv School of Historical Bulgarian Studies (To the 175th Anniversary of the Research Tradition)” in 2023, as well as in the highest awards of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences received by Kharkiv’s leading Bulgarists. However, according to the author, perhaps the most important marker of the transition of this research tradition to a new qualitative level is the fact that it has nurtured three consecutive generations of specialists with the degree of doctor of historical sciences, which is an important criterion and achievement for any research school. These experienced scholars and the Drinov Center gather around themselves a large group of Bulgarists and representatives of related disciplines working in several of Kharkiv’s educational institutions, primarily the Kharkiv State Academy of Culture and H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University.
