With the method of critical discourse analysis, the author explores the language and ideologies of the communist State Security regarding the Protestant denominations in Bulgaria. The study is based on archival documents of the State Security, memoirs of Christian pastors and studies of the repression of Protestant churches. Parallels are drawn with the peculiarities of Orwell's totalitarian newspeak and Klemperer's Third Reich language. The main features of the communist newspeak are outlined - a fanati-cal and exalted language, a language – a spell that dehumanizes, pathologizes and represses the class Enemy, just as the Nazi language condemns and destroys the racial Enemy. In addition to cruel, the communist language shares shears also other features of totalitarian newspeak: a monochrome black and white language that demonizes the Enemy and favors Power, falsification of history, doublethinks numb critical thinking in vicious circles. These peculiarities determine the cunning of the State Security dis-course, which allows ignoring the Constitution and the laws in their apparent observance.

During the last 40 years, the articulation of [l] as [ǔ] has gradually become too ex-pansive in contemporary Bulgarian speech. It is actually a labiovelar articulation of the lateral consonant /l/, which in our previous studies we denoted as the sound [ǔ]. In separate articles over the years, the attitude towards this articulation has been dynamic – from "mannered", "defective", "new articulation", to "mass practice", "expansive phenomenon" and "natural realization". In this way, from the rare occurrences in the youth slangs of the capital city, gradually this phonetic phenomenon passed into a speech norm for Bulgarians regardless of their dialect affiliation and social status. So, from a deviation from the norm, as it is perceived years ago, given the codified stand-ard articulation in the grammars of the Bulgarian language, today we could say that we have an active bilabial articulation instead of the alveodental articulation of the consonant /l/, which is not described in any of the official Bulgarian grammars. In this article, we trace the path of this sociophonetic phenomenon from the classification of the consonant /l/ in Bulgarian grammars since 1930s through its changing status in the past 40 years to nowadays perceived almost as an imperceptibly imposed norm, subject to institutional perception and description.

Passportization of the Pomak population in the village of Ribnovo in 1953 has a violent character particularly visible in two directions: the im-position of compulsory, Bulgarian ethnicity and restriction of the right to free religion.Changing the passports of the Pomaks was resisted because they opposed their enrollment as "Bulgarians" without mentioning their differ-ent region, and against the photographing of women. One of the first villages was Ribnovo, where resistance to the introduction of new per-sonal documents began. In the following years, this village became the center of the resistance against the communist authorities in their attempt to change the Turkish names of Pomaks (1964). The very act of passportization in the Pomaks can be seen as a prelude to the later change of their names to Bulgarian names.

The paper traces the migration of a philosopher in the literary field. The purpose of this text is to prove, through the method of mutual interpretation (parallel reading of works of fiction, documentary texts and historiographical narrative), that Slavi Bo-yanov's novel ‘Giordano Bruno’. is a literary compensation for his confiscated manu-script ‘Defense of the Human Person’ (1953), which was not published until 1997. The contribution of the study is that it illuminates another case of an intellectual's strained relationship with the authorities in power.

The text traces the changes in the ethnic identification of Muslims in the municipality of Gotse Delchev (with a special focus on the villages of Breznitsa, Lazhnitsa and Kornitsa, where assimilation, called the "revival" process, has taken the most victims). The four censuses after 1989 were used, the first of which (in 1992) – annulled be-cause it did not correspond "to the real ethnodemographic structure of the popula-tion".Quantitative and qualitative studies have also been used to show a correlation between the memory of assimilation and the ethnic identification of people in the re-gion. The results of the study "Majority and Minorities: Attitudes towards the Differ-ent" are given, which also affects the attitude of the majority to the "revival" process.

According to the author's point of view, atheist politics, expressed not only as secular-ization and profanation of religious objects and practices, but also as organized pog-roms on them, is a vivid manifestation of the totalitarian regime, not – an accidental perversion of an otherwise "normal" system. The only thing that seems "normal" (be-cause it is characteristic of the totalitarian state in principle) in this policy is the sys-tematic absurdity with invention of traditions, ritual practices and whole sciences such as atheismology and atheology.

This article represents the experience of teaching gender knowledge in number of universities and public schools of Armenia in 2000-2010. The training carried out with the support of the office of OSCE Democratic and Human Rights Institutes within the framework of the program “Gender awareness and gender sensitivity as prerequisites for balanced democracy” by the Association with University Education. The purpose of the article is to show the importance of education in overcoming gender stereotypes, the experience made in that direction and its results. The analysis was carried out by the author through ethnographic methods of direct observation and surveys conducted with experts who participated in the teaching of gender knowledge, school and student groups. The task of the article is to show the relationship between gender stereotypes and national traditions in post-Soviet Armenia, the ways of fighting against them and the contradictory position of the society towards the process. One of the main topics of the study is the problem of changing the gender identity manifested by the participants during gender teaching, which was expressed in the subsequent state and public processe.

The blurring of the boundaries between utopia and dystopia and the weaving of utopian hopes and possibilities into narratives seen as belonging to the genre of the dystopian novel has been a characteristic of the latter for a long time. Overviews of developments in dystopian literature in the twentieth and the twenty-first century have noted instances of this phenomenon ranging from works in which pockets of resistance to dystopian worlds carry with them hopes for a utopian future to ones in which utopian hope is read in the faces of a handful of survivors who have heroically emerged from among the ruins of a world struck by ecological disaster. The present article offers a reading of Megan Hunter’s debut novel The End We Start From as a daring act of not just hopefully pointing toward but of actually growing a utopian world in the midst of an environmental catastrophe, of creating a utopian Noah arc that successfully navigates the dystopian world of apocalyptic deluge and chaos. The analysis will map the ways in which the account of the experience of motherhood pushes that of the catastrophe and its impact on the world to the periphery of the narrative. The emotional experience of motherhood thus textually foregrounded in the novel is seen as enacting a quiet rebellion against dystopia as it expands into a space in which a Levinasian notion of utopia contained within the care for the Other is fleshed out, while dystopian reality is reduced to distant, random, fragmented echoes.
乌托邦和非乌托邦之间的界限模糊不清，乌托邦的希望和可能性被编织进被视为属于非乌托邦小说体裁的叙事中，这一直是非乌托邦小说的一个特点。综观二十世纪和二十一世纪的乌托邦文学发展，我们可以发现这种现象的例子多种多样，有的作品中，乌托邦世界中的小部分反抗者带着对乌托邦未来的希望，有的作品中，乌托邦的希望从少数幸存者的脸上读到，他们从遭受生态灾难的世界的废墟中英勇地走出来。本文对梅根-亨特（Megan Hunter）的处女作《我们从终点出发》（The End We Start From）进行了解读，认为这是一种大胆的行为，不仅是希望在环境灾难中建立一个乌托邦世界，而且是在环境灾难中建立一个乌托邦世界。分析将描绘出母性体验的叙述如何将灾难及其对世界的影响推向叙事的边缘。在小说中，母性的情感体验在文本中得到了凸显，被视为是对乌托邦的悄然反叛，因为它拓展了一个空间，在这个空间中，列维纳斯式的乌托邦概念包含在对他者的关怀中，而乌托邦的现实则沦为遥远、随机、零碎的回声。

The recent conceptualizations of citizenship, such as the concepts of post-national and flexible citizenship are closely related to transnationality, as people’s sense of belonging cannot just be restricted to holding a passport of a nation-state or residing inside the borders of it. Nevertheless, multiple belongings that minorities and migrants have also indicate that there is more than one relationship model with different nation-states. In that sense, the case of the Turks of Bulgaria offers a perspective of transnationality, in which multiple attachments and interconnectedness of this specific ethnic group regulate and redefine their identity across borders. To what extent the Turks of Bulgaria has transnational ways of life and which elements of transnationality are embedded of their identity are the main problematic of this paper. Hence, by providing theoretical framework of transnationality and transnational migration, and by providing an analysis of the conducted field research, this paper tries to analyze the ways of having a transnational way of life for the Turks of Bulgaria.
