Vlaykov belongs to those creators of our native literature who did not dazzle contemporaries with the relevance of the ideas or the monumentality of the images in their works. And readers did not discover new worlds in Vlaykov's works, they could not feel in them the "heroism" of the era. Slowly and silently, the writer presented to his contemporaries - and with somewhat outdated even for the time fiction techniques - joyful and more often sad pictures of everyday life, of relations in the patriarchal family. The ideological-emotional, aesthetic impact came not from the exceptional events and characters, but from the truthfulness, warmth and immediacy of the image. For literary historians and critics today it is not difficult to prove that the creative experience of the fiction writer Vlaykov is a lived and overcome stage. Indeed, the author's ideas and hopes, which found embodiment in his artistic works, have long lost their meaning. The softness and naivety of the writer's narrative tone is far from the dynamism and drama of both our time and the complex psyche of the contemporary, etc. Despite the convincingness of scientific-critical arguments, one cannot help but admit that we, today's readers, continue to be respected in Vlaykov's novels and stories, to be moved by the fate of the uncles and aunts dear to the author's heart, by the tragedy of the peasants and small owners crushed by the chorbadjis and by the new economic relations. And when he speaks of the past, the writer also extends his hand to us along the bright and tender threads of memories, in order to direct us to the charm of childhood years and experiences... It is true that in Vlaykov we will not find the expressiveness and dynamism of today's authors. But his works have not completely lost their charm on us, because in them the fullness of the former patriarchal way of life flows. And most importantly - the unadulterated truth of the life phenomena in his works is deeply morally meaningful and emotionally saturated. In his works, we, the contemporaries, also find such moral traits and national virtues, which are the basis of our national psychology. Therefore, Vlaiko's creative work still has many living elements. The writer is not one of the "companions", but one of the leaders of our Artistic Prose.

Geo Milev's theoretical views on the nature and essence of theatrical art, on the development of Bulgarian theater, as well as his manifestations in the field of directing continue to attract the interest of researchers. The plays he staged, although few in number, were realized in different periods of his life and on different stages: from the attempts in Stara Zagora to stage "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles in 1915 to the stage of the "Renaissance" Theater as a director of the play "Massachovek" by Ernst Toler in 1923. Some of the rehearsed plays did not see the lights of the stage for the first contact with the audience.
