Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as bulgarian sociologist and politician. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12298964. VIAF identifies the subject as 21035589. The Library of Congress control number is n82141492. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
