The latest issue of BTA’s LIK magazine is dedicated to commemorating the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising of 1876. The thematic publication compiles historical information, drawing from BTA’s archives regarding past commemorations and news bulletins related to the event. The issue features commentary from educators, public figures, and representatives from the local communities within the four revolutionary districts associated with the uprising.
The magazine’s launch is scheduled for Monday, April 20, at the St St Cyril and Methodius School in Koprivshtitsa. BTA Director General Kiril Valchev noted that the publication synthesizes key discussions held across national press clubs and the centers of the revolutionary districts. He emphasized that while the discussions highlighted lessons relevant to the present, the overarching consensus was that the uprising ultimately led to Bulgaria’s freedom.
Discussions featured in the lik magazine also focused on the young age of the uprising’s leaders, as noted by journalist Boyko Vassilev. Furthermore, Professor Georgi Valchev discussed how the leaders prioritized political freedom over established societal expectations. The LIK magazine includes a thematic timeline compiling historical coverage of the uprising from BTA’s archives, spanning from the mid-20th century to the present.
The publication also references future commemorative events, including discussions planned for 2026. By presenting these diverse accounts, the issue positions the April Uprising as a foundational collective endeavor in Bulgarian history.
