While before September 9, 1944, only the translations of the most prominent representatives of our classics such as Ivan Vazov, Pencho Slaveykov, Elin Pelin, Yordan Yovkov, and in separate anthologies of about 40 other authors were known abroad, now we can state with satisfaction the fact that over the past 20-year historical period, more than 1,450 volumes of Bulgarian prose, poetry and drama have been published in 57 foreign languages ​​in a total of 24,000,000 copies.

The creative path of Smirnensky, his development, his method have been directly or indirectly considered by almost everyone who has written about the great writer. And if this problem again attracts our attention, the reason for this is its relevance. Overcoming past artistic trends, schools and methods and mastering and developing the method of socialist realism - this is the main content of the literary process in our country for the quarter-century free development of our national literature. The problem of overcoming the worldview and creative limitations of the writers critical realists, modernists, etc. and their transition to the positions of socialist realism - this is the epochal task in the development of world literature; a task whose solution depends on the outcome of the great duel between labor and capital, between bourgeois and socialist ideology.

Habit nullifies surprise. However, there are comparisons that never cease to surprise us even when we should already be used to them. On the eve of the 25th anniversary of the September 9th People's Uprising, these comparisons are inevitable. After all, the meaning of every anniversary is to tear us away from the myopia of everyday worries - to raise us to a height from which the path we have traveled is embraced with a glance: to provoke us to reflect on near and distant prospects. And then repeatedly repeated statements begin to amaze us with their truthfulness. Things that we are used to surprise us again - by the way, also with the fact that they have become commonplace for us so quickly.
