Hristo Radevski

I think this is one of the most complex topics for any citizen who is actively involved in public affairs. This is all the more complex for a writer who is convinced of the civic mission of literature. Because the explosion of the October Socialist Revolution not only swept away the entire gloomy tsarist-landlord edifice of the blackest injustice and police brutality in Russia, but caused a wide detonation throughout the globe. It changed the course of history on our planet. And this shock was felt especially strongly in countries like ours, where there have always been social unrest and where the people take an active part in the political life of the country. The socialist movement in Bulgaria had already established itself as a political factor long before the October Revolution, and this had an impact on our entire national culture.

Elin Pelin once said that everything said about love is true. This thought of the writer can also be transferred to the field of poetry. Everything said about poetry by those who are excited by it is true. Although no one has given an accurate, clear, short and acceptable to all formulation of the concept of poetry. However, it exists as the immortal soul of humanity, every day it is reborn in a different way through the muses of its individual creators. And no pessimistic theories and vulgarizations can cancel it. It exists and will exist as long as there are people. When flowers bloom and birds sing, they obviously enjoy life, glorify existence. And the silent and incredible in variety sounds of colors and the inimitable trills of birds aim at communication, their meaning and continuation of the genus, overcoming death. Although both inanimate flowers and animate birds are hardly aware of their impulses.
