Abstract

The article presents publication of the materials from the Scientific Archives of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, dedicated to the visit of the Director of the Institute of History of the USSR Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Slavic Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Academician B.D. Grekov, to Sofia in September 1950. The consultations of the Soviet scientist fit into the process of Sovietization of the educational and scientific spheres of Bulgaria, that is, their reform according to the Soviet model. During the trip, B.D. Grekov met several times with Bulgarian colleagues – T. Pavlov, D. Kosev, S. Romansky, V. Georgiev, Khr. Gandev and others. The Soviet guest was asked to share his experience in organizing and planning scientific work in academic institutes, preparing multi-volume collective publications. Bulgarian colleagues were also interested in how Soviet historians in a Marxist vein studied the problems of the emergence of feudal relations, the influence of Byzantium and the Bulgarian Kingdom on Kievan Rus.
