Clarifying the demographic state of humankind during all periods of its historical development is an issue that has long been of interest to the scientific community. This paper traces the specifics and trends in the dynamics of the main demographic processes and structures of the population that has inhabited the Bulgarian lands in prehistory and antiquity. Their analysis allows us to establish that, according to the parameters of the studied indicators, the studied area can be related to the Mediterranean area, whose development was ahead of the rest of the world at that time.

The work is devoted to the 10th–13th-century paleodemographic data regarding the city of Chernigov and its districts, and to their introduction into the scientific domain. The study is based on the data on the anthropological series of Chernigov in the 10th–13th centuries, divided into three samples according to the topographic principle. This series is characterized by a low average life expectancy in comparison to other southern Old Rus cities. The feature of the necropolises of Chernigov indicating the predominance of female burials over male ones, revealed in the 1980s, has been confirmed at a new level. A study of the demographic parameters of the Chernigov population groups in the 10th–13th centuries, united on a territorial basis, has shown differences in their structure, probably reflecting the peculiarities of the life quality, social status, and professional specialization of the population of different parts of the city. Further research into the remains of the city’s population with methods of paleopathology, osteometry, osteoscopy, radiology, etc., as well as the analysis of aspects of the political history of the region, would help shed light on the possible causes of the identified features of the demographic structure of the population in the pre-Mongolian period.

This article deals with a pair of old ethnographic maps made by a Bulgarian officer (bearing the rank of Captain at the time) named Anastas Benderev (1859–1946). The maps were first published as folding attachments in Benderev’s book Military Geography and Statistics of Macedonia and Its Adjacent Territories on the Balkan Peninsula (Voennaia geografiia i statistika Makedonii i sosednikh s neiu oblastei Balkanskago poluostrova), which itself was published in Russian in Saint Petersburg in 1890. The stated purpose of the maps was to elucidate certain passages from the book, particularly those pertaining to the population’s ethnic composition. One of the maps (Etnograficheskaya karta Balkanskogo poluostrova) depicts the ethnicities across the entire Balkan Peninsula, while the other (Etnograficheskaya karta Makedonii) focuses on those within the confines of the historical and geographical territory of Macedonia. Due to a confluence of events, the maps in question are barely known and hardly ever used nowadays, even though they represent valuable relics from the era. This article aims to reintroduce them into the scientific discourse as historical documents of note.
本文介绍了一对由保加利亚军官阿纳斯塔斯·本德列夫（Anastas Benderev，1859–1946）制作的古老民族志地图。这些地图最初以折叠附件的形式发表在本德列夫的《巴尔干半岛马其顿及其邻近领土的军事地理和统计》一书中（Voennaia geografiia i statistika Makedonii i sosednikh s neiu oblastei Balkanskago poluostrova），该书于1890年在圣彼得堡以俄语出版。地图的既定目的是阐明书中的某些段落，特别是与人口种族构成有关的段落。其中一张地图（Etnograficeshkaya karta Balkanskogo poluostrova）描绘了整个巴尔干半岛的种族，而另一张地图则聚焦于马其顿历史和地理领土范围内的种族。由于一系列事件的影响，这些地图现在几乎不为人所知，也几乎从未使用过，尽管它们代表了那个时代的珍贵文物。本文旨在将它们作为值得注意的历史文献重新引入科学话语。

The article shows the vast majority of didactic differences between history textbooks for 10th grade students. It analyzes three units in three contemporary textbooks for the same grade, centered around the following topic: Changes in Bulgaria between 1944 and 1947. The approach is both qualitative and quantitative. The paper also compares the textbooks’ main and additional texts, primary historical sources, images, and questions at the end. The results reveal significant differences between the studied units, and highlight the need to think towards a better formulation of the didactic standards for history textbooks.
