The review concerns the book by Ewelina Drzewiecka entitled Юбилейно и модерно. Кирило-Mетодиевският разказ през социализма в България (2020), which is an attempt to create the typology of the narratives about the Solun Brothers and their followers in Bulgarian scientific, Orthodox church, pseudo-scientific and journalistic writing of the socialist era, that is in texts that were created under conditions of a disturbed communicative situation, strong ideological pressure and (self-)censorship. The review not only discusses the book, but also contains comments on the Author’s research approach (based on the achievements of postsecular thought) and cognitive benefits that result from it.
