Shadowed by the State Security

Mihail Nedelchev - a critic, literary scholar, teacher - equally beloved and respected by both students and his peers. A true legend of Bulgaria’s intelligentsia.

The Communist state security followed his steps closely, and interpreted as subversive his interest in fashionable Western literary criticism of the time, suspecting him of planning a "structuralist coup". Professor Nedelchev discovered a whole surveillance operation on that, recorded in his "secret file" in the archive of the security services.
