Destruction of the national cultural code and current geopolitical realities

Abstract

The destructive influence of the geopolitical strategy of the unipolar world on the Bulgarian national cultural code is analyzed. The historical process of the formation of the Bulgarian national cultural code with its system of characteristic images, symbols, and concepts is considered. The significance of the adoption of Orthodoxy by Prince Boris-Michael in 864 for the further development of the Bulgarian society and its culture is shown. The influence of Orthodoxy is associated with such features of the Bulgarian mentality as the orientation towards the comprehension of the sensual nature of the image, the desire to deify man. Since the first language of Slavic culture was Old Bulgarian, it played the role of the main factor in the formation of a common Slavic identity. In today's geopolitical realities, the Bulgarians (as well as other South Slavs) are under strong pressure from supporters of a unipolar Euro-Atlantic world, which is most evident in the inculcation of Russophobia. But adherence to the Russophobic doctrine inevitably entails the destruction of the Bulgarian cultural code, the debunking of our systemforming national myths, the rejection of our history and the destruction of our national identity.
