An original way for our national poet Ivan Vazov to express his public feeling and duty is the flyer with the poem "Don't!". From the possible references made, it was found that our literature does not mention the existence of a flyer with this work. This is not the first time that Ivan Vazov has resorted to such printing and distribution of his poems. As Kiril Hristov notes, many of the poems included in "Pryaporets Gusla" were scattered in manuscript form in Bucharest. "One of them, namely "The Battle Has Begun, Our Hearts Are Beating," was sung in some places in the Srednogorje Mountains when the April Uprising was announced in 1876. The same fact is confirmed by Yurdan Todorov.
