Abstract

This publication compares three protest movements in Bulgaria 2009-2013 – the Stu­dent protests in the winter of 2009, the Feb­ruary protests in the winter of 2013 and the summer protests of 2013. The analysis reveals the importance of new media for the develop­ment of civil society in Bulgaria. These are the largest protests in Bulgaria in the XXI century. They show the evolution and the main trends in the relationship between the Internet and the civil society in Bulgaria. Despite their common traits, these protests differ in scope, problems, organization and other important structural ele­ments
