Summary/Abstract
SummaryDimitar Dimitrov - a name that says almost nothing to the modern reader. One by one, those who, in their unfaded memories from more than six decades ago, could restore something of the image of this enthusiastic idealist - with the fragile physical figure of a restless workers' organizer, with the restless and temperamental pen of a talented publicist, with the searching thought of a promising socialist literary critic and scholar - are leaving. Dimitar Dimitrov is from the phalanx of the first socialist activists who, even in that early era, saw the need for a practical struggle for the liberation of the working class and participated directly in this struggle. And as writers, they are not contemplatives, but fighters who clear the way for socialist ideology and literature. For about 5-6 years of public and literary activity, he leaves an interesting and meaningful legacy that has its own definite place in our Marxist criticism since the end of the century. His social and literary work, his life, was very quickly put to an end by the "yellow guest", which suppressed so many young socialist forces.Keywords: марксически, Литературен, критик, публицист
