Absract. The paper is focused on the representation of interwar Soviet Russia, which can be seen in Bulgarian travelogues – Ana Karima's “In Russia today” (1928), Dr Hristo Stoykov's “In Soviet Russia” (1930) and prof. Asen Zlatarov's “In the Soviets' Country” (1936). The country is presented in the process of constant change, during which the façade of the old monarchic Russia disappears behind the major architectural changes of Soviet Russia. The article analyses the travelers’ attempts to be as objective as possible in their observations and depictions for the Bulgarian reader and to capture the current image of the ideological rebuild of the Russian reality.
