“Taras Shevchenko and Bulgarian Literature”

1963 is a jubilee year in the history of Bulgarian-Ukrainian literary ties. A century ago, Rayko Zhinzifov's book "New Bulgarian Collection" was published in Moscow and marked the beginning of the influence of the great Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko on the Bulgarian reader. Therefore, the appearance this year of Olena Shpileva's work "T. G. Shevchenko and Bulgarian Literature",1 in which this issue is examined in its hundred-year development, acquires special significance.
