Abstract

The concepts of entrepreneurship in conditions of crisis and uncertainty and the specific full or partial application of economic theories in the practice of Bulgarian Renaissance figures are presented. The emphasis is placed on the most dynamic period of economic growth in the "Bulgarian version" from the 1850s to the 1870s. These processes are directly linked to the political situation in the Balkans. The stages of economic growth or decline, creativity, competition or adaptation of the Renaissance entrepreneurs coincide with the major social changes in societies from the Crimean War to the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. The above statements are supported by a number of examples from the preserved documentary heritage of the Bulgarian entrepreneurs Evlogi and Hristo Georgiev, Petar Kermekchiev, Georgi Kisimov, Slavcho Paskalev, Todor Vassilev and others.
