History
Despite a turbulent history, Bulgaria is the oldest surviving state
in Europe to have kept its original name, and most of the population
are descendants of the Bulgar invasion of the south Danube around
that time.
Culture
In the Middle Ages (especially in the 10th and 11th centuries),
Bulgaria was the center of Slavic culture. Over the centuries Bulgarian
culture has been influenced successively by Byzantine, Greek, Russian,
and Western cultures.
