description The article discusses the issue of the political activity of Bulgarians during the Crimean War, which was a breakthrough moment in the national liberation movement in the era of the National Revival (1762–1878). During this conflict, the Bulgarians exercised the widest efforts for liberation so far, which was manifested by the functioning of as many as three emigration centres. The first one, represented by Georgi Rakovski, focused on the preparations for the uprising and disappeared quite quickly. After that, the priority in conducting political action was taken over by the Bulgarian émigré elites on the Romanian lands and in Russia, which in the first period of the war (1853–1854) developed a far-reaching activity, promoting the Bulgarian issue and organising recruitment to volunteer troops. The political action of the Bulgarians was not effective but the political concepts they established were used and developed in the forthcoming years.
