#one of the few turks the bulgarians like

[beardedmrbean]

Bulgarians across the country observed the Day of Saint Nicholas on December 6, known as Nikulden, commemorating the revered figure of St. Nicholas of Myra. Originating from Patara in Asia Minor in the 3rd century, St. Nicholas led a pious life, aiding the destitute and weak while embodying the principles of faith and truth. Eventually, he became the Bishop of Myra and, upon his passing in 342, his relics were transferred to the city of Bari, Italy, where they remain preserved to this day.

St. Nicholas holds a special place in Bulgarian tradition, revered as the patron saint of travelers, sailors, and fishermen. Folklore envisions him commanding storms and the sea, often depicted sailing on a golden ship. One legend tells of him rescuing a sinking boat by plugging a hole with a carp.

For fishermen, Nikulden marks the conclusion of autumn fishing, celebrated through a bountiful feast brimming with fish dishes. The saint's influence extends to boat building, where it's believed placing an icon of St. Nicholas protects sailors from tempests.

Superstitious beliefs link St. Nicholas to miraculous acts, including leaving coins for the needy, similar to the tale where he aided a destitute father struggling to provide dowries for his daughters. Hence, the holiday holds significance for bankers as well.

In honor of St. Nicholas, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church conducts special liturgies, sanctifying fish dishes for the well-being of the faithful. Traditionally, a festive table is arranged featuring fish, often stuffed carp, with rice, walnuts, and onions.

Those bearing names associated with St. Nicholas - Nikola, Nikolina, Nikolay, Nina, and more - also celebrate on this day, which is additionally esteemed in the city of Burgas.

Modern-day customs emphasize festive gatherings and fish-laden meals as a tribute to the revered saint. St. Nicholas Day resonates as a cherished occasion of faith and festivity across Bulgaria.

and yes. coming from dobrogea, a region of the balkans with a whole lot of shit but which thankfully by the grace of god is peaceful today for the most part, romanias most ethnically diverse and most peaceful region somehow (maybe the hot sun and the black sea salt make us calmer idk) does impact how i think about all this

dobrogea isnt diverse because of some happy story. the dacians and thracians were fighting over that bitch for thousands of bloody years, the dacians likely coming from the thracians (both of them likely setteling the land through warfare and mixing with whichever people were there before), both claiming its Only theirs when really both of their asses came from the caucasus or central asia further on, destroying each others history later on too to make it seem like its only theirs. I want to have no bloody arguments or conflicts with bulgarians over it. I love bulgarians, they are a beautiful people with a beautiful culture which is very mixed with our own, and I want dobrogea to be not one of ours but both of ours. It disgusts me that when part of dobrogea was "given back" to romania bulgarians were kicked out; peoples lives uprooted and romanians pulling hate crimes bc ofc they did, this always happens. The turks and the tatars arent in dobrogea because of some happy history, actually theyre there because they took over, killed plenty of people, estated rule, and also did that fun slavery ordeal. Guess what, I am disgusted by the communists kicking out so many tatars (even tho there were locals who tired to shelter them). I am disgusting by romanians, few as they are in dobrogea, who wanna go on about how the turks and tatars should leave. I am disgusted by romanians, when the land was gotten back, taking out their anger and doing hatecrimes on them. I was not raised like this. I know of the history, I was raised with the history and its pain, but i am disgusted by this nontheless - my family, and a lot of dobrogea nowadays, does not stand with this. The turks and tatars have been there long, god damn historical context and all, and theyre a beautiful people with a beautiful culture which is very mixed with ours, many of us are actually mixed too, and fucking damn it i want to hear nothing about how were the only ones who should be there. Same for the other many ethnicities in the area

somehow, somehow we have managed to reach a general state of coexistence. id like to keep it that way and see more of that

theres more examples but whatever. i dont want the hungarians out of northern romania and i want us to stop fucking bickering and fighting over god damned forsaken fucking ethnostates and centuries old conflicts.

I want it. To. Stop. i see where it goes. i see how it goes. In the balkans this does not end. We can all fucking sit around yelling about what was done to us by others, and everyone can point fingers at what everyone else did. There are almost no clean hands, borders have moved around since forever, theres about a million damn claims thrown around and in the grand context of everything everywhere and the sheer extent of ethnic and cultural mixing, its not anything thats gonna lead us anywhere but twoards more horror which is based on untrue historical claims of times when idk what place was 100% idk what people

One of our only hopes is to stop this. To stop the literal thousands upon thousands years old tribal wars. Enough. E n o u g h

Were stuck in "time is a flat circle" shit. Please, dear god, enough

Kesarevo is a small town located in the Veliko Tarnovo region. In this small settlement in 1932, a great tragedy occurred, the flame of which broke out, after a quarrel between the Bulgarian watchman Hristo Stoyanov and a Turkish villager, Ibrahim. Ibrahim's son, a child - who was playing in the center of the village with the happiness of the Eid holiday - sees this and tries to stop the guard. In the end, he and his father were wounded, and the guard was killed, most likely with his own weapon, while trying to defend himself.

After the event, several Bulgarian youths led by Dmitry Buzof rounded up many Turkish men from the village, including Ibrahim, his wife, siblings and mother, took them to the municipality and beat them. Ibrahim's wife was raped, and his mother was injured. Due to his injuries, a few days later, Ibrahim died.

On the second day of the events, several more of Ibrahim's friends were detained and beaten, and on the third and last day of the tragedy, the mosque was burned, and three bombs exploded in the Turkish part of Kesarevo.

The latter event caused great panic among the Turks, causing a mass flight from the village even when the gendarmerie arrived. While trying to escape, a Turkish woman named Sakine fell, and her one-year-old child died.

Seven Turkish journalists who came to follow the events were detained, 400 Turks working in a tobacco factory in Filibe were expelled, and Bulgarian workers came in their place. 40 Turkish households, out of a total of 80, leave Kesarevo.

History in the Style of Dave Attell

The Fall of Constantinople (Part 1)

Ok, kiddos. Today we are talking about the Fall of Constantinople. Oh yeah that Fall. The big one, like when your grandmother fell on the ice back in 92. Except no one’s laughing this time.

So, there was this big siege back in 1453, and let me tell ya, it was a wild ride. The Ottoman Empire was all like, "Hey, we wanna take Constantinople," and the Byzantine Empire was like, "Nah, man, we're not giving it up that easily." But here's the thing, the Ottomans had this secret weapon called gunpowder, and they were blasting massive cannon balls at the walls of Constantinople. These walls, mind you, were no joke. They were some of the most fortified and advanced in the ancient and medieval era, but even they couldn't withstand the power of those Ottoman cannons. Eventually, after a 53-day siege, Constantinople fell, and boom, the Ottoman Empire had their new capital. It was a major turning point, marking the end of the Byzantine Empire and the medieval period. Boo hoo. No more medieval period. You’ve been squiring around with that knight for nothing.

Anyways…

Now, here’s some background to the going onzies in the Byzantine Empire

Alright folks, let me break it down for you. We're talking about the Byzantine Empire here, the good ol' Constantinople. This place had been through some serious shit, let me tell you. It had been besieged so many damn times, it's a wonder it didn't have a permanent "Closed for Renovations" sign hanging on its gates. But guess what? Those crusaders couldn't resist the temptation, and in 1204, they stormed in and had themselves a nice little party, known as the Sack of Constantinople. They set up their own Latin "state, while the rest of the Byzantine Empire fractured into a bunch of squabbling successor states. It was chaos, my friends. But don't worry, the Nicaeans came to the rescue, conquering Constantinople back from the Latins in 1261. They reestablished the Byzantine Empire, but let me tell you, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. The empire was on the brink, constantly defending itself against the Latins, Serbs, Bulgarians, and those damn Ottoman Turks. And if things couldn't get worse, the Black Death decided to pay a visit, wiping out half the population between 1346 and 1349. By 1453, the once mighty empire was reduced to a few measly villages surrounded by fields, all guarded by those ancient Theodosian Walls. The grandeur was long gone, my friends. It was a sad sight to behold. So there you have it, the sorry state of the Byzantine Empire. Tough times, my friends. Tough times indeed.

So now let’s turn our attention to Sultan Mehmed the second. He’s the man - the man that conquered Constantinople.

Alright, so we've got Sultan Mehmed II, this young badass at only 21 years old, ready to take world. Europe thought he was a rookie, a pushover, so they partied it up when he took the throne. Mehmed even sent the Europeans presents. But little did they know, Mehmed wasn't just all talk. He started building fortresses left and right, control of the Bosphorus and protecting against any Genoese troublemakers. He wasn't messing around. And guess what? He even sent a garrison to block Constantine XI from getting any help down in Greece. Meanwhile, he had his boys fixing up the roads and bridges, making sure they could handle the cannons he had planned for Constantinople. Sultan Mehmed II was a force to be reckoned doubt about it.

The Aftermath of Rebellion A Period of Uncertainty

Turkish Casualties and Insurgent Control

The casualties among the Turkish population in the aftermath of the uprising were minimal, with only a few deaths reported, aside from the previously mentioned gypsies who met their fate later. Following the insurgents’ seizure of the village, they wielded unchecked authority for several days. Despite their newfound control, their actions were relatively benign. They paraded through the streets in jubilant processions, proclaiming their newfound freedom and sovereignty. Surprisingly, they refrained from antagonizing neighboring Muslim villages, content with their current achievements and oblivious to the looming threat posed by the 5,000 regular troops stationed in Philippopolis.

Ignorance Amidst Freedom

The insurgents’ lack of awareness regarding the impending military response was striking. Instead of fortifying their positions or strategizing, they indulged in the simple pleasures of newfound liberty. Their festivities primarily revolved around marching through the streets and singing patriotic Bulgarian songs. However, there was one notable exception to their passive demeanor Private Tour Istanbul.

Allegations and Uncertainty

Inspired by the ease with which Avrat-Alan fell, the Christian population of neighboring Strelcha contemplated rebellion. Yet, given the village’s mixed demographics, with a substantial Turkish contingent, they sought reinforcements from Otluk-kui and Avrat-Alan. Insurgents answered the call for aid, resulting in a skirmish between the rebels and the Turkish residents. Tragically, the entire village was consumed by flames during the conflict. Both sides vehemently deny responsibility for the arson, with Christians blaming Turks and vice versa. However, it is likely that both factions played a role in the conflagration, with each targeting the other’s residential areas.

A Fractured Landscape

The events following the rebellion paint a picture of a fragile and divided community grappling with the aftermath of conflict. Amidst uncertainty and mutual suspicion, accusations fly, deepening the chasm between Christian and Muslim populations. As the smoke settles over the scorched ruins of Strelcha, it serves as a stark reminder of the destructive potential of sectarian strife and the urgent need for reconciliation and understanding.
