Vol. 97 No. 1 (2006): Annual of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" - Faculty of History
Volumes 96–97 of the Yearbook of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Faculty of History brings together scholarly studies by faculty members, doctoral candidates, and researchers, spanning a broad chronological and thematic range—from Antiquity to the late twentieth century. The contributions address issues in political, social, cultural, and economic history in both national and international contexts. Topics covered include early Roman demographic statistics; cultural symbols of Chinese civilization; Renaissance political thought on the “Turkish threat”; diplomatic practices of medieval Bulgarians; the development of history education in Bulgaria; the crises of the Weimar Republic; international relations during the First World War; antisemitic policy in Nazi Germany; Bulgarian–German relations within the framework of Soviet foreign policy; the education system during the period of Sovietization; and the role of electronics in Bulgaria’s economic policy in the second half of the twentieth century.
The volume reflects the interdisciplinary character of research at Sofia University’s Faculty of History and continues the Yearbook’s tradition as an established academic forum for the presentation of original historical studies and methodological contributions.
