In its centuries-long socio-historical development, the Bulgarian people created deeds that left deep furrows in the minds and souls of people, riveted the gaze of contemporary and later generations, and continue to excite and inspire in the struggle for social and cultural progress, for justice and happiness in the world. Such an epoch-making deed in its ideological-revolutionary aspiration and moral-social essence is also the people's anti-fascist uprising in September 1923. It is a natural result of the socio-political development of our country after the First Imperialist War, it is conditioned by the efforts to resolve the maturing social contradictions and marks a turning point in the overall life of our people.

Events that change life also change people's thinking, change their spiritual peace, change their concepts of the beautiful and the ugly, of the sublime and the low. They also change artistic thinking, which receives verbal and figurative embodiment in literature. Literature is a seismograph for the changes taking place in the lives of peoples. It captures new phenomena and, if they are seeds in the folds of fertile furrows, gives them life. At the same time, it creates an appropriate form to accommodate the new content. The Great October Socialist Revolution is the greatest of these events that change life. It was natural that it would become a turning point in the development of art and literature, especially of those peoples who were most affected by it. Such were the Slavic peoples, not only those in the Soviet Union, but also those outside it. I will not speak here about the Slavic peoples in the Soviet Union - Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians. The turning point that occurred in their general and literary development with the Great October Revolution is well known, obvious to everyone. I will focus on the literatures of the Slavic peoples outside the Soviet Union.
