The Schism in The Bulgarian Socialist Movement and The Second International, 1900-1914

Abstract

dc:description

The schism in the Bulgarian socialist movement in 1903 gave rise to two factions, the Broads and the Narrows, the latter becoming the Bulgarian Communist Party in 1919. Neither the schism, which is still a controversial topic in Bulgaria today, nor the relationship of the Bulgarian Social Democrats to the Second International has been adequately or objectively studied. In the light of some unpublished as well as hitherto unused sources, this thesis analyzes the split and, quite in constrast to the standard Western (American) and Bulgarian (including Soviet and Yugoslav) interpretations of it, concludes that the split was neither inevitable nor a division between two incompatible "Western" and "Russian" strains of socialism.
