"What can be done to help the Bulgarians?"

"What can be done to help the Bulgarians" ("Chem mozhno pomoch bolgaram") is one of the most interesting documents preserved in the archive of Lyuben Karavelov (National Library "Vasil Kolarov", Bulgarian Historical Archive, Fund No. 2, Archival Unit 21, p. 6-11). This is a report to the Moscow Slavophile Charity Committee, which sets out a detailed program for the creation of a Belgrade branch of the committee. The text written by Karavelov was corrected and supplemented by the Russian revolutionary democrat Ivan Gavrilovich Prizhov. Thus, the document also reveals new aspects of the cooperation between the two revolutionaries. "Chem mozhno pomoch bol garam" has repeatedly attracted the attention of researchers. The document has already had two editions. The first is by Academician Mikhail Dimitrov in "The Journalism of Lyuben Karavelov before the Publication of the Newspaper "Svoboda", S. 1957, pp. 622-625, the second by the Soviet scholar L. V. Vorobyov in "Notices of the Institute of Literature at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences", vol. IX, 1960, p. 275. The edition by Academician M. Dimitrov reflects almost exclusively Karavelov's text. It is indeed noted that there are corrections on it by another person. It is also said that according to L. V. Vorobyov this person is the Russian publicist I. G. Prizhov.
