Abstract:

In the article an attempt for a creative and civic portrait of the most popular Bulgarian historian and one of our most respected intellectuals – Prof. DSc. Andrey Pantev (hist.), is made. The stages of his construction as a scientist are characterized. The unusual breadth of his research interests, extending to the new and modern Bulgarian, Balkan, European and world history, is outlined. His unusual style of restoring the past stands out. It is understood in his specific creative laboratory. On this basis, his elegant difference among colleagues from the professional guild is shown. Special attention is paid to his civic position before and after the beginning of the democratic renewal of the country, as well as his fascinating and artistic stay in the public space and his bright presence in the development of the new Bulgarian parliamentarism. Professor Andrey Pantev is shown as a gifted modern historian, an original scientist with his contributions in other fields of science, a prominent public figure and one of the greatest intellectuals of modern Bulgaria, as a true aristocrat of the spirit of European and world greatness.
