KeywordsSummaryIvan Vazov has left us a lot of information about his life and work. However, there are quite a few unclear questions and contradictory information in his biography. This article sets itself the task of clarifying some moments in the poet's life, some of which are interpreted incorrectly, and others have not been presented for consideration in our press at all. Here we will focus on the question of Vazov's first attempts at the time he spent in Romania during his first trip to participate in the Bulgarian Central Charity Society, correcting some information about Vazov himself along the way. And it is natural that in clarifying these questions, we should first of all proceed from the information that the poet himself has left us. However, this information must be compared and checked repeatedly. Because the uncritical attitude towards them has led to the current situation - to allow not only in popular works, but also in some serious studies about Vazov, gross factual errors and inconsistencies.
