The vision of Bulgaria becoming part of Yugoslavia was particularly prevalent in anti-monarchist circles. These inter-war projects were willing to sacrifice the Bulgarian monarchy to the Karadjordjević dynasty. In general, the idea of sovereignty was compromised. It is obvious that the inclusion of Bulgaria in a Yugoslav project, which existed under Alexandar Stamboliyski, would mean a certain subjugation of Bulgaria by Serbia.

The historian does not accept the speculation that Bulgaria was threatened with occupation by the Balkan Pact** if the VMRO led by Ivan Mihailov had not staged a coup d'état. He also questions the recollections of some of the participants in the events that they were planning to assassinate Tsar Boris III if he opposed the changes. He also comments on why, in the intellectual turmoil of the inter-war years, we see in the Zveno circle Bulgarian intellectuals and writers of note tempted by politics.

"Unfortunately, we have the typical use of intellectuals in politics. Especially when they are not careful enough that their ideas and research may be used by unscrupulous politicians. Since World War I, the world has been searching for a new model. Classical democracy is being seriously questioned for its failure to prevent the great catastrophe of WWI. 

Many intellectuals are looking for solutions in the new radical political movements that history has now categorically condemned as anti-human - I am talking about fascism, communism, national socialism. Not a few serious intellectuals are associated with these movements. At the time of the 1934 coup, there was a feeling that authoritarian regimes could cope with the economic crisis better than liberal democracies".
