Yura Konstantinova argues that even during the period of the sharpest confrontation between Bulgarians and Greeks—from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century—their mutual perceptions were not purely hostile but marked by ambivalence. Although political conflicts strongly shaped public attitudes, some Bulgarian and Greek intellectuals were able to move beyond dominant political narratives. The study examines the views of Bulgarian scholars, artists, and diplomats whose perspectives often differed from the propaganda imposed for political reasons. The book highlights the potential role of intellectuals in fostering understanding between nations often seen as historical adversaries.
Yura Konstantinova is Professor at the Institute of Balkan Studies and Center of Thracology of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Her numerous research projects have resulted in extensive publications on the history of modern Greece, Greek-Bulgarian relations, and international relations in Southeastern Europe during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
