About the Impact of King Simeon the “Great” on Bulgarian Culture: King Simeon, the “Great” had a destructive influence not only on the state development but also on culture with his excessive ambitions about Constantinople. His Greek- mania literally imposed the blind copying of the Byzantine spiritual achievements, which predetermined the reproductive-imitative character of the Bulgarian Christian culture.

Of course, there were also significant creative achievements, but they did not define the overall character of the Bulgarian cultural tradition. In a significant part it was imitative and as such was well perceived by the mass consciousness.

Bulgarian artists create a taste for reproductive imitation. And the mass consciousness imposes it as a perceived form.
