 H-Net Review: Lohr Miller on The Forest Traveler: Georgi Stoikov Rakovski and Bulgarian ...
She is, however, firm in her depiction of Rakovski as a member of a generation which tried to introduce the Western version of the state into a region lacking the necessary social and political basis to sustain it.
For Rakovski and his fellows, national liberation had to begin with the exaltation and purification of a national language as the key to national identity and national history.
The problematic nature of his actual achievements has allowed Rakovski to be used as an icon of Bulgarian heroism by a succession of governments and biographers, and Firkatian argues that in the post-1989 era he will no doubt undergo another mutation into the kind of national figure required by the post-communist government.
