Author: Alexander Vachkov First Edition, 2010 Large hardcover, 232 pages. In the field of historical knowledge uniformologiyata is the new scientific discipline that took two decades of sustained support among the historical disciplines. And so far no country has undertaken uniformologiyata its rightful place in the Bulgarian historical science. In its relatively short but extremely rich period of development, which covers only 130 years, the Bulgarian military uniform still remains unknown due to the limited number of specific studies or surveys articles and books. Devoted a certain period of time or specific wars, they can not give an accurate idea of its enormous diversity with the large number of basic and partial changes. It is collected and systematized huge photographs, which is often the only source of information because of the commandments, which is made a change, or attached to them are illustrative reached us. Those gaps remain extremely valuable works of many great Bulgarian artists who are also a rich source of information because of pedantic accuracy, which are different types of uniforms, equipment and weapons are not only generally but also in the smallest details. Unfortunately, the range of people involved in the development of this theme is very small, and opportunities for publishing the results of the studies very limited, which largely explains why the country that science has not yet been able to take its among other auxiliary historical disciplines. Military uniform became the object of systematic and thorough historical research until the middle of the XIX century Undoubtedly the greatest interest and cause shefskite leybgvardeyskite regiments whose uniforms are distinguished by its pomp and decoration. Practice to give orders to any changes in military uniforms with attached black and white or color illustrations and copyrighted originals authenticated by the signatures of Kings, war ministers, chiefs of General Staff and commanders of the types of forces, becomes invaluable in terms of impact well for the researcher to examine particular historical period in which has been introduced or amended a uniform and related decoration - epaulets, epaulette, badges, signs narakavni major weapon in the various clans and militias aglet, cockade , blyahove, lyadunki etc. on some of them put relevant features. In a special object of study became even buttons for uniforms, on which the number of the regiment or the distinctive character of such weapons, or special purpose subdivision. Interest in military uniform is growing particularly in the years after World War II, when many countries are issued multiple works. In France and ten years in Russia are issued specialized journals in which topic is military uniforms through the ages. What is the situation in our country? For most unfortunately, we arrange for one of the last places among the countries where the military uniform is given her rightful place in the deserved scientific and popular science literature. Until around the late 60's of last century in specialized military seal their place primarily some critical articles concerning specific innovations in different parts of his uniform and some historical notes, a military historian Col. Ivan Stoychev. As snippets about 1934 military artist Lazar Yordanov is responsible for preparing the issuance of an album dedicated to the Bulgarian military uniform, covering the period from the Liberation War in 1934 a result of the studies Lazar Yordanov has left us extremely valuable 80 watercolor paintings of uniforms, which are officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers from different genera weapons. Unknown reasons behind the idea of issuing of this album does not take place. At the same time working and Glinka, which creates a series of tempera paintings of uniforms of the Serbian-Bulgarian war, distinguished by their exceptional refinement. Long before these two artists real masterpieces in the field of military art have left Jaroslav Veshin artists Anton Mitov, Dimitar Gyudzhenov, Nicolas Kozhuharov, Yakim Banchev, Petar Morozov, Boris Denev and Atanas Mihov, who presented with meticulous precision in his works not only different uniforms, but details of them and moreover Soldiers and horse equipment. Today, the distance of the past decades, they become extremely valuable source of information in the course of studies to be made and to be made. Unfortunately we have not reached the names of the majority of military artists who have worked over the projects of the Bulgarian army obmundirovanieto the beginning of World War II. It is known only that Prince Alexander I, who held a certain artistic skills, worked personally on the first draft of uniform Princely convoy future Leybgvardeyski Horse Regiment professors from the Academy of Arts and Stefan badges Haralampi Tachev submit projects for venzelite shefskite regiments and some badges and epaulette epaulettes on. Marinistat Peter Morozov narakavni creates distinctive characters for the different specialties in the fleet, and P. Kachulev develop projects narakavni hanger and distinctive signs specialties in Air Forces, and in 1946 on their new uniforms and decorations. On various projects to meet the names of officers, Velden-febel-shkolnitsi and owners of companies like Berdzh Kerestedzhiev, Strahil Miloshev Odabashan and Onik, who not only developed some of the projects, but their firms are made and the features themselves. In the period from 1956 to 1989 different types of uniforms are designed by Col. Raycho Peev, who not only work on projects, but issuing them in three separate volumes illustrated in 1957 and 1969 In 1961 with the assistance of the head of the National Museum voennoistoriches-ing Col. Marin Mihov begin preparation of the comprehensive nature study work on the issue of the voluminous "History of the Bulgarian military uniform, covering the period from the VII century to 60 years of XX century, with the chief authors of the museum funds and Todor Hristo Dobriyanov Dermendjiev. During the examination of archival documents Christo Dermendjiev makes a series of tempera paintings of uniforms and details of them. Later on the team has attracted and Colonel Raycho Peev the section from 1950 to 1969 is estimated mnogotomnikat had to contain about 2000 pages of text and illustrations about 45,000. This edition remained unrealized. Since the late 60's to today Hristo Dermendjiev published several studies on the uniforms and insignia for the period from the Liberation to 1995 after the new political changes in late 1989 he was employed in the commission of changes in military uniform, developing all text and draw some kind of order epaulets and arrangements of stars and insignia on them, formed a rich graphical illustration. Between 1992 and 1994 his projects have made a number of distinctive signs and narakavnite genera weapons, troops and individual offices. Since the late 80's began their studies on the history of Bulgarian military uniforms artist Alexander Vachkov Daniela Tsankova-Gancheva Ventsislav Chakov, which resulted in leaving many scientific publications and specialized press. Alexander Vachkov enriches their publications and books with a large number of black-white and color illustrations made precisely where it is given particular attention to the smallest details. In his work he obviously should representatives of that school of military artists who left a deep imprint in one area, which are committed very limited number of artists because of the nature of specific sites that reproduce. According to his new projects are made uniforms part of the National Guard and representative companies of the three types of armed forces - Army, Navy and Air, which were removed several inconsistencies in their decoration. This is particularly refers to the Guard's uniform, which was made more distortion in the 50's of last century. This work, which is already in the hands of readers, the ultimate result of persistent research work for two decades at the Central Military Archives, National Military Museum and Naval Museum in Varna. Through its rich documentary photographs and precise illustrations made it presents the best possible way the essentials of development of Bulgarian military uniform in its 130-year history, which fills a major gap in the home uniformologiya.
