Bulgarian people in the context of "Bulgarians in Ukraine"

The Bulgarian Revival (Bulgarian: Българско възраждане, Balgarsko vazrazhdane or simply: Възраждане, Vazrazhdane, and Turkish: Bulgar ulus canlanması), sometimes called the Bulgarian National Revival, was a period of socio-economic development and national integration among Bulgarian people under Ottoman rule. It is commonly accepted to have started with the historical book, Istoriya Slavyanobolgarskaya, written in 1762 by Paisius, a Bulgarian monk of the Hilandar monastery at Mount Athos, leading to the National awakening of Bulgaria and the modern Bulgarian nationalism, and lasting until the Liberation of Bulgaria in 1878 as a result of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878.

Izmail Oblast (Ukrainian: Ізмаїльська область, romanized: Izmailska oblast; Romanian: Regiunea Ismail) (7 August 1940 — 15 February 1954) was an oblast in the Ukrainian SSR, roughly corresponding to the historical region of Budjak in southern Bessarabia. It had a territory of 12,400 km (4,800 sq mi). The region had a multi-ethnic population consisting of Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Russians, Moldovans, and Gagauz.

First mentions of the name of the region are found in documents from 16th century CE. The region was with the Russian Empire briefly before the Ottomans took control of it in the 17th century CE. Russians recaptured it in 1809 and it became an autonomous territory within the Ottoman Empire following the Crimean War (1853-1856). The area was under Russian occupation from 1877 to 1917, and was occupied by Romania after the First World War. The Soviet Union re-took control of it after the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact before the Second World War in 1939-40.
