THE RUSSIAN-TURKISH WAR OF 1877 – 1878,
THE LIBERATION OF BULGARIA, AND THE MATURITY OF BULGARIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY
Prof. Plamen Mitev, PhD
The Russo-Turkish War of 1877 – 1878 is one of the most researched topics of Bulgarian Revival history. The interest towards this war began as early as it was declared, and has not subsided until today. The amassed information of what was written or said regarding the events of 140 years ago is growing considerably around every milestone anniversary of the signing of the Preliminary Treaty of San Stefano. Several generations of historians, local researchers, political and cultural scientists have been studying for over a century one aspect of the war or another, and the number of thematic and documentary volumes, monographs, studies, pa-pers and reports dedicated to the Liberation of Bulgaria is now over 50001. It is enough to call to mind the publications of some war contemporaries such as Atanas Benderev and Georgi Dimitrov, or by reputable scientists like Georgi Genov, Hris-to Hristov, Konstantin Kosev, Tsonko Genov, Velko Tonev, Doyno Doynov, Georgi Valkov, to be assured that representatives of different historiographic schools have contributed to shape and deepen our knowledge on the events on the Balkans in the years of the Great Eastern Crisis of 1875 – 1878.
