The Bessarabian Bulgarians are "an integral part of the Bulgarian national body, of the Bulgarian spiritual and cultural community, and they will always be, because the bond between us and them is unbreakable" - wrote the only issue of the newspaper "Bulgarian Bessarabia", published in Sofia on 28 November 1938.
The article called for one day a year "to be for them and for us a great celebration of the Bulgarian spirit". At that time there was already a large community of Bessarabian Bulgarians in Bulgaria, who were involved in the rebuilding of the new Bulgarian state. They proposed that 29 October - the day on which the Transfiguration of the Lord Cathedral was consecrated in Bolgrad (Ukraine) a hundred years earlier - be celebrated in Bulgaria as the Day of the Bessarabian Bulgarians. However, the Second World War began in 1939 and the new holiday failed to establish itself. It was only restored in 1989 at the suggestion of the Cultural and Educational Society for Relations with Bessarabian and Tavrian Bulgarians "Rodolyubets".
The Besarabian Bulgarians are not one of the most discussed topics in this country, but Bulgaria does not forget them and tries to provide enough opportunities for the compatriots who migrated centuries ago to the territory of today's Moldova and Ukraine to return and get to know their homeland anew. A number of festivals, the programmes of the Ministry of Education and Science - "Bulgaria - Educational Routes" and "The Untold Stories of the Bulgarians", the children's competitions of the Executive Agency for Bulgarians Abroad (EABA), in which Bulgarian children from Bessarabia participate very actively, contribute to this.
