Bulgaria and the Future of the Slavs

Sofiia: Kolibri , 2020. 76 p. Soft. ISBN 9786190206958.  In Bulgarian

Translated from Italian. The book was written in 1892 by Giuseppe Menarini, an Italian writer and military man. Interested in the ideas of Pan-Slavism, Menarini writes here about the turbulent situation in the Balkans, particularly Bulgaria, around the time of the Unification of the Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia in 1885. The 30-year-old author passionately describes the military strategies of the 1885 Serbo-Bulgarian War, the personality of Alexander of Battenberg, Prince of Bulgaria, and the conduct of Russia and the other Great Powers. What did Western European observers think about the Unification? Did Bulgaria have the potential to be the leader of the South Slavs? Answers to these and other questions can be found in the book.
