Your Opinion of the Bulgarian People?

[poiuytrewq0987]

Since everyone is doing them, why not start one about us. :D

[Guapo]

quiet and reserved, not like their western neighbors. Also shorter too.

[Loddfafner]

My off the cuff impression is that Bulgarians are corrupt, thin-skinned villains. If I ever visit the country, or meet a real live Bulgarian, I expect that impression to be quickly dispelled. The villain image goes back to the assassins that used a poison-tipped umbrella on some dissident living in London. That was a very Tintinesque touch, or was it James Bond? The thin-skinned impression was made by those diplomats last year that whined about Bulgaria's inclusion in David Cerny's infamous sculpture about European stereotypes in Brussels.

[Puddle of Mudd]

As I go about my daily business I have to admit that Bulgarians don't really cross my mind.

[Sol Invictus]

Who?

[Svanhild]

The few Bulgarians in Germany are a nuisance, like truck drivers or immigrants. But I'm afraid that we only get the trash of the Bulgarian people. Or gypsies who pretend to be Bulgarians. However that be, I believe that Bulgarians in Bulgaria are friendlier and more cultivated.

That's true.. :thumb001:

[Pallantides]

I'm fond of steppe nomads.

[Nationalitist]

I like Bulgarian yoghurt.

[Absinthe]

My opinion of Bulgarians, so far, judging from the ones I've met on- and offline, as well as hearing about them from a Greek friend that lives in Varna, is overall very positive.

We do seem to have a lot in common and overall I get along fine with them. So I tend to hold them in much higher respect than the rest of Greece's neighbors.

[Monolith]

I have no idea. I know too little about you guys, save for some history and linguistics.

[W. R.]

[Liffrea]

I know positively nothing about Bulgaria, except the capital is Sofia, they are Slavs and from what I am told they do a rife trade in ex-Red Army gear.

[Germanicus]

The Bulgarian chaps i have met around the Uk building sites have been friendly, respectful, and most of all honest; i even loaned an adjustable spanner to one and he brought it back...:wink

Tabiti informs me they are not Slavs.......but they do sell Red Army military gear, I'm after a hat.:D

The term, Slav is a cultural and linguistic one. As far as I'm concerned... we are.

[Tabiti]

And German as well;)
And maybe Westerners often mistake our communistic army insignia with the Solviet one.


The term, Slav is a cultural and linguistic one. As far as I'm concerned... we are.
Linguistic, yes, but it's also controversial. As for cultural, we are Eastern Europeans, which is not equal with Slavic, however often mistaken for.
As for genetics, well, Void, see again your 23andme test results;)

[Electronic God-Man]

I know nothing about them. They are probably the European people I know least about.

I even know more about Romanians.

[poiuytrewq0987]

I don't see anything controversial about it. We use, no, we practically invented the Cyrillic alphabet (although two Greeks gave birth to original Glagonitic alphabet which the present Cyrillic alphabet evolved from). It's an alphabet that is used by a lot of Slavs. The Serbs, the Montenegrins, the Macedonians, the Russians, the Belarusians, the Ukrainians and us. Our culture is also isn't too different from say, the Serbs. Our religion is essentially similar to other Slavic countries excluding Pope-loving Slavic countries. ;) Our language is definitely Slavic, we share basic similarities with other Slavic-speaking languages (but I emphasize basic). We are in essence Slavic, there's no doubt about it. Food? We share basic similarities with other neighboring Slavic countries such as Serbia or Macedonia (even more so with Macedonia). If we're not Slavs then what exactly are we? ;)

So basically your language makes you Slavs? Religion doesn't have anything to do with it any more, or are Catholic Slavs no longer Slavs? As for cuisine... I'm sure Hungarians, Romanians, Greeks and even Turks have a lot in common with you.

Try finding things that actually define you as Slavs - tradition!

[Lithium]

Void, you can't use Macedonia as a prove, in this case, because they are bulgarians.. :D

For tradion I will say Eniov den, I red for this tradition and It is with slavic roots in Russia and Ukraine.

[Tabiti]

Communistic era text-books and "brothership" with Solviet Russia. It is not even an old tradition.
BTW, Void is one of the few Bulgarians I know who define themselves as Slavs. Maybe because in the USA he doesn't have any good sources about historical information and relies on older ones.

[Svanhild]

Never met any Bulgarians at my university.

[hajduk]

There are more than 10 000 Bulgarians studying at German universities
i hope they will go back home when they graduate

[poiuytrewq0987]

That's because we skulk in the shadows and that's how we roll.

[Pallantides]

They come to Norway to steal cars.

[Eldritch]

I must admit I don't even know very much about Bulgaria. I know they produce very nice yoghurt and wine, and I know Sofia is a very beautiful town.

I know there are some holiday resorts there where young Brits and Nords go for drunkenness, mayhem and debauchery, which is not so good.

And last but not least, I know a few great Bulgarian people online, the incomparable Tabiti first and foremost, but there others as well. :thumb001:

[Gaztelu]

They should be deported from my country.

[Sikeliot]

Bulgarians are essentially Turks who think they're Russian. :lol:

[Beorn]

Amongst the many Paki and Somali security (do they ever enter a different profession? Sitting on your arse all day for nothing seems like Heaven for them) I knew one Bulgarian security bloke.

He was a cool guy. He hated Pakis, Niggers and Americans and would often make serious offers to sell drugs and weapons to us.

God bless England.

[iNird]

I really don't know much about them, but I do despise their confused brothers known as "Macedonians." If only Bulgaria could reassimilate these people.

The word "Hungarian" is considered to be derived from the Bulgar-Turkic Onogur.

[Юлия]

In general, I tend to respect representatives of any nation while they are polite and nice. All depends on the person and his behaviour. So I have no bad feelings or hatred concerning to nations. But there are two nations I love the most: Bulgarians and Serbs. All Bulgarians and Serbs I met in a life and on the Internet were good people! As I spoke somewhere at the forum already, they have warm and kind souls :icon_rolleyes: :)

I'm not racist.. I just don't consider Bulgarians to be true Slavs. I've seen more of them I would mistake for Syrian than Russian, to be honest.

[poiuytrewq0987]

There was a good reason when Russia dropped support of Bulgaria in the 1800s. Today they again have good reason to drop support of Bulgaria in favor of Serbia. Corruption is rampant in Bulgaria, when the Russians realized they couldn't get anything done in Bulgaria they just said fuck 'em, we're going to Serbia (http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25166), they're much more reliable and we can actually get things done there.

where is all this hatred for Bulgarians coming from? They are not Turks, or Asians, or whatever else. They are Europeans.

Some of them are members of East med sub race, so what?

Not all Bulgarians are swarthy, that's just a stereotype of Ignorant people.

[Foxy]

I am in a neutral relation with them. However, Portuguese Princess, Bulgarians are white Europeans although they are for the most brunettes (like us, after all and like us they have also many fair people).

[Sabinae]

If Bulgarians are like Tabiti and HomesickSonnets... :love:

[Efim45]

Bulgarians aren't Slavic and aren't Baltic, right? I can't even find Bulgaria on a map.

[Sikeliot]

Bulgarians aren't Slavic and aren't Baltic, right? I can't even find Bulgaria on a map.

They're east of Macedonia, north of Greece.

I don't dislike Bulgarians and I was joking when I called them Turks. But they definitely to me don't look Russian.. they're very Balkan in phenotype.

you from Portugal what experience do you have with bulgarian people?
In Portugal there are gypsies who identify as bulgarians who go for seasonal work like fruit pickers farm workers and other
if you consider them bulgarians should i consider portuguese people as north africans?

I hope more gypsies will come to your country.

About Bulgarians: When they shake heads like we shake to say NO, they mean YES and viceversa, pretty confusing. I dont know any bulgarian but I've been there if I remember well and...same as with the others SE countries, they need some fresh air (politics) indeed. About people,...dunno, they might be pretty dark or not. I've also seen super pale-blondies, but mostly swarthy :)

Natives of Finland; Finlanders. • A branch of the Mongolian race, inhabiting Northern and Eastern Europe, including the Magyars, Bulgarians, Permians, Lapps, and Finlanders.

Migrating at the same time as the Anglo-Saxons were the Slavs. These were a people who spoke an Indo-European language, suggesting they were Aryan. They were polytheists, with shamans, and still believed in sacrificing creatures as gifts to the gods.

The Slavs expanded in various directions from the plains north of the Black Sea. Moving northward, they followed rivers, passed through forests and mixed with Finns and Baltic peoples. From the 540s to the 580s they moved south into the Balkans -- a part of Constantinople's empire -- as far south as central Greece, and they approached Adrianople. Constantinople's Byzantine emperor, Maurice, who ruled from 582 to 602 and spent many years warring against them, wrote:
They have abundance of cattle and grain, chiefly millet and rye, but rulers they cannot bear and they live side by side in disunion.

My post is highlighting that as the Slavs swept south they encountered Finns already in the area.

Moving northward, they followed rivers, passed through forests and mixed with Finns and Baltic peoples. From the 540s to the 580s they moved south into the Balkans -- a part of Constantinople's empire -- as far south as central Greece, and they approached Adrianople.

[Blossom]

Their language (in the Finno-Ugric family of the Ural-Altaic group) is related to that of the Finns who cross the Baltic in about AD 100 and push the Lapps north towards the Arctic. The Lapps are subject to the same pressure in Norway and Sweden, but there the tribes displacing them are Indo-Europeans speaking the Germanic group of languages.

Sorry for the OT. Buy yeah. Here's a little article (http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?historyid=ad02) and some maps (http://data.lnb.lv/nba05/kartes/Html/skandinavija.htm).
