Half a year before leaving with his detachment for his homeland, Hristo Botev, together with Stefan Stambolov, published a small book with a title as unpretentious and modest as his entire appearance: "Songs and Poems by Boteva and Stambolova". This was the only attempt by the revolutionary writer to take a look at his creative path, and only in the field of poetry. The search for and publication of his entire literary work remains a task for generations, a great and responsible task that has not been finally solved to this day. What has been done in the past and what is the status of the issue of Botev's literary heritage today?

In the notes to volume IV of the works of Kiril Hristov, published by BP, 1967, on page 714 it is noted: More significant fiction and journalistic works by Kiril Hristov, which we do not include in the present volume, are the following: (There follow 2 and a half pages, in which the works of Kiril Hristov in question are listed). After them, on page 716, there is a new note, which says: "Of the articles, literary notes and reviews by Kiril Hristov, we do not include the following: (there are ten new pages that list the articles, literary notes and reviews by Kiril Hristov that were not included in this volume, printed at various times in various newspapers, magazines and other publications.) Among the many names of more or less famous authors about whom Kiril Hristov wrote, the name of Lyubomir Bobevski is also found. I was curious to know what Kiril Hristov could write about this once noisy author of numerous patriotic poems and marches, the most popular of which was "O Dobrudzhanski krai", and I looked for the magazine in which the article about him was printed.
