On December 7 at 10 am Bulgarian President Rumen Radev and Vice President Iliana Yotova will pay respect to the memory of Nikola Vaptsarov. In Sofia, they will lay flowers in front of the monument to the great poet at Moskovska 6 street on the occasion of the 111th anniversary of his birth, BTA reported.
Vaptsarov is among the most controversial figures in the Bulgarian-Macedonian reading of history. Because of his participation in the Macedonian Literary Circle established in Sofia by order of the Comintern, scholars in Skopje regard him as a Macedonian anti-fascist poet. However, Vaptsarov is part of Bulgarian literature and unlike other members of the circle, never wrote using the "Macedonian" literary norm created and imposed at that time.
