National awakening of Bulgaria
Bulgarian nationalism emerged in the early 19th century under the influence of western ideas such as liberalism and nationalism, which trickled into the country after the French revolution, mostly via Greece, although the first Bulgarian nationalistic text Istoriya Slavyanobolgarskaya was written in 1762 from Paisius of Hilendar. The Russians, as fellow Orthodox Slavs, could appeal to the Bulgarians in a way that the Austrians could not.
