* * * Research by a Soviet scholar on Presbyter Cosmas. [On the work of Yuri Begunov]

On January 16, 1969, the Scientific Council at the Institute of Literature discussed the work of Prof. Yuri Konstantinovich Begunov - Ph.D. - Kozma Presbyter in Slavic Literatures. In addition to the members of the Scientific Council, the work of the extended meeting was attended by lecturers from Sofia State University "Kliment Ohridski", from the Higher Pedagogical Institute "Cyril and Methodius" in Tarnovo and researchers from the institutes of Bulgarian Language and Balkan Studies at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. This interest in the work is due both to its problematics and to the broad framework in which the study of the famous "Conversation" of Presbyter Kozma is set. The result of the joint work between the Institute of Literature at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Russian Literature (sector of Old Russian Literature) in Leningrad, the work of Yu. K. Begunov is new evidence of the fruitful Bulgarian-Soviet cooperation in the field of science.
